Sounds like something's shorting out? Wiggle the 4 way's switch and see if that helps?

Headlights and turn signals are on different circuits...Do the rear running lights work?? I think (not 100% sure) that the front lights share a ground...can you check the ground connection??

Thanks for your help, I was on the phone to my uncle (been a meachanic for 30+ years) and was 10 ft away and everything started working, checking and cleaning all the grounds tomorrow.
