Please excuse me if this sounds dumb - but are you sure you did not pull the HAZZARD button on the steering column. I know, I know. BUT my wife drove for over a 50 miles coming home from visiting with her Jeep's blinking and that's all it was.......

You might have lost the ground connection in the rear lighting area while doing that other work.

Re: all directionals blink (Big Fish)
what ground is back there that would likley to cause this? the only thing i am thinking of is the gas tank, you have 2 wire that go to the sender, ones hot the other isn't, I checked everything, i am sure it's simple but what, when i put the brakes on 1 bulb shines bright the other dim, there are 3 wires that go into the bulb socket, if i grounded one to the frame could that help me solve this? ofcourse it not being the hot one...

There should be a ground wire to all the tail lights attached to the same ground connection as the antenna grounding strap, left rear on the frame.
