I'm thinking it's at the fuse panel or the rear bulb. I'll do that tomorrow though. I'm looking for the diagram because I want to know how the two prong thermal relay powers right and left with only the two prongs.

Thank god DC power is so simple.

I walked around to check the bulbs and eventually it quit working, so it blew a fuse. Now I have no blinkers and am chasing a short somewhere that caused the right not to work... Any ideas? The relay only had two prongs, so a 12v in and and output from the thermal relay... Suggestions or comments?
Bro... Did you check your blinker fluid yet?

Topped off the blinker fluid yesterday.

Replaced the blown fuse (love having all this stuff lol), and pulled rear light box. The turn signal blew and shorted across itself. Looks really cool in the bulb haha gonna go replace and hopefully this works.
