massive electrical problem

[lowboost13]

Hey guys, I have been having some problems with my electrical lately and have not been able to figure any of it out. First a few months ago I went outside and turned the key to the on position and the radio just shut off and now the turn signals dont work but when you press the flasher button the lights on the insrtament panel stay on with a wierd buzzing noise, and also when the key is in the ignition it seems as if there is a wierd buzzing noise comming from the ignition. I have no idea I'll post a video of it later once my ipod charges.

Have you check all the fuses?.
Check all the fuses, inside and at the engine bay make sure every single one is good.

yes everyone is good, the problem is that when I turn on the turn signals the relay starts buzzing, and the light on the instrament pannel blinks rappidly, but when I try to use the hazard button those lights just stay on and the same buzzing noise occurs. I have no idea what to do?

Is the battery fully charged?

 

[lowboost13]

yes, and I was useing a jumper box to make sure.

May I suggest start pulling relays and fuses going to those circuits one by one. Remember to make a note where each part you have pulled, came from. Start with the easiest ones first then work your way throughout the circuit(s). Have someone help you while your pulling them and check to see if that makes any difference. You may have a circuit that is cross feeding current to the ones your having problems with. Only way to know is if you isolate the circuits that is giving you problems.

Ok I will have to do that and check back!

Ok so I tried doing that and nothing but the turn signal fuse shuts off the buzzing... so I guess that means that my short short is in that circuit?

Have you check the signal solenoid?.
It could be just the solenoid.

 

[lowboost13]

Yes, I switched the solenoid with a known working one and still nothing.

How it start your problem?, did you change any bulb light?.
Some times a wrong bulb cand produce sime kind of effect.

I did recently take out the dash, but everything was good for a good week or two. I have no idea...

Correct, that is one problem you have found. Since you had the dash out, recheck for any grounds that may have been overlooked during the install. You may have pinched some wires so would not hurt to do a closer inspection near and around the area(s) that you had been working on.
