Last night I noticed one of my LED license plates lights was out, I moved it slightly and it came on until I let it go. Moved it around a little trying to get a good connection thinking no big deal just pull it apart tomorrow and straighten it out. Upon driving home no dash light and no running lights WTH, shut it down and the headlights remain up. Where do I start ? I have pulled all fuses they seem perfect I have the manual out and I have no idea where to begin. Everything else works fine are those systems tied into a particular relay? TIA

a re-title could be in order or you need to put down the crack pipe either way

Tackle one circuit at a time. Usually, the only common point in multiple circuits is the ground point.

I have perused the schematics and there are some commonnalities shared there. But one thing that comes to mind immediately that they all share is the multi-function turn signal stalk switch. That is a common point of failure.

Great a starting point. Would that also effect the turn signals, or not necessarily? I also had hyper flash on one side then I put back in the standard #194 bulbs and it went away. Any help is appreciated
