Default Help! No turn signals

During the installation of auxiliary lights I was pushing the turn signal connector with a screwdriver and blew out the lights fuse which caused all lights to go out (obviously). After replacing the fuse I got my front lights to work but now my turn signals are not coming on. These also used to work as running lights. Could it be the module? Please help. Thanks.

A couple obvious suggestions to help maybe get the ball rolling for you:

Recheck your turn signal connections
Test fuses with ohm meter - sometimes they look good but are not
Verify lights are good with ohm meter - a long shot but cant hurt
Trace electrical circuits for passing lamps and turns signals with continuity tester per Manual wiring schematic. Try to find an "open" circuit or short. The wiring schematics in the manual are very good.

Dont know about the "control module"...

Do you have a manual? Did you verify fuses? What have you tried or tested? Focus on one thing at a time - running lights first just cause they should be on all the time. Did you check for voltage on the running light wires, under the seat near the fuse block, as close to the power source/fuses then move out from there... If nothing under the seat, then fuse or may be the module you mentioned which I know nothing about...

sounds like a blinker relay, do you have running lights in the front?
