So I was re-working my gauge cluster it’s a mess, and replacing some bulbs issue is I had all lights working before the cleanup now I don’t seem to have power to the lower bulbs or my turn signals, the printed circuit is intact, but if I pull my light switch I have builds that light, if I use a 12 volt test light I get power to all but 1 bulb and my turn signals I’m stumped any ideas?

did you use LED? some of them only work one way and you may need to switch them 180 degrees.

Do your brake lights work? Any action when you press the hazard switch? It's on a different circuit than the turn signals, and uses a different flasher.

You didn't clarify if your hazards work correctly? Verify that your reverse lights work (same circuit as turn signals), then swap your hazard flasher for the turn signal flasher... if no luck, switch 'em back. If it passes those tests, you've likely got a loose connection at one of the harmonica connectors on the column.

None of the gauge cluster wiring will interfere with turn signals, save for the dash indicators.
