Default fed up with the signals not working help!!!!

Hi everyone,

So I replaced the signal switch because my mechanic told me that's what it probably was. I replaced it. At this
point I had the same as before no turn signals, hazards working and the high beams working. ( I know I've done this backwords!) so then I decided to check the relay fuse so I went and got a new fuse. I took it out and popped the new fuse in and then test the signals... Nothing!!! Try the hazards.... Nothing!!! So I put the old one back to see if I could at least get the hazards back... Nothing just like the other one. So at this point I went and grabed the handy dandy fuze terster thingy, grounded the clip and and proceded to check the back of the clip that the fuse relay is pluged into.. It is getting power... So from here I take the handy dandy fuse tester thing and I test the fuses under the hood ... All good!!! I go to the panle on the floor of the passanger side door ground my thingy and test away now 7 and 23 both have something to do with the signals both do not work ... A couple others aswell.. I replaced them and still nothing!!! Infact the handy dandy fuse tester thingy still isen't getting any power!!! What I want to know is what do I do from here I'm stmped!!! Oh yeah the larger fuses on the same panle
All worked except one of them only lit up
my magic wand on one side... Could that be a problem???? Help!!!!

if your flasher aint clicking,change that.it should be around your fuse block or under the dash above the brake pedal. should hav one for hazzard and turn signals.

Sounds like a loose or broken connector under there The two should have nothing to do with each other. If your magic wand only lit on one side of a fuse it means that fuse is blown.

i read it all,you must hav different names for stuff up there. when you said signal switch,did you mean the turn signal switch on the steering wheel shaft? and the fuse for the relay sounded like just a fuse,not the flasher. but i guess the flasher is considered a relay too. anyways mixed communication.

Is the new relay making the clicking sound? I'd check the ground off the tail light!
