Re: Dash issue

OK, we are on lockdown and I am bored to death, so I went out to fool around with the dash. What I found was as follows:

I tested all the wires into the connector that goes to the back of the dash. For some reason the pink Ignition wire is cold. Not sure why, cause I could swear it was good to go before. So, I go to the fuse block. Ignition fuse, directional fuse and any others that I think may have something to do with it are working. When I test each individual wire on the connector, they seem to be working. In other words, I put a gauge on the turn signal wires and ground and I get current to the connector.

I use a series of alligator clips to connect the hot, ground and right turn signal from the connector to the back of the dash. The right turn signal works. So, I try the left one, and I blow a fuse. I think it was because I did not keep the right one connected.

So, because the pink ignition wire on the connector is cold, I am guessing that no power to the circuit board is being produced.

I am sure I am confusing as heck here, but if anybody has any further input would be great. Is it the ignition switch? The headlight switch? Anything else I should be looking at? This is really starting to make me angry though, I put all new wiring on this so I would not have these problems.
