Default Turn Signals Dead -- Not bulbs -- Fix?

I've got a number of projects going on the car right now... so this has the potential to get complicated.

All interior and exterior lights work. Fuses are good. Grounds are good, although I just refreshed the frame grounds in the cockpit.

*IF* I removed the bulb in the dash for the High Beams... you know, the amazingly blindingly bright blue bulb... would that then cause the turn signals not to work?

I did also just wire in some new gauge overlays and did the HUD install, so there could be a number of other reasons for this issue. But seeing as everything else is removed from the turn signal wiring and was done neatly I consider unlikely that the other wiring would cause this.

Ideas?

OH... and the emergency flasher is not plugged in... currently unplugged / removed with the dash as I finalize the HUD install and a few other odds and ends.

Culprit?

Resolved --- yes, it turned out to be the emergency flasher. Removed it from dash to plug in temporarily and all is well.
