I checked the fusible links...they are all good, the relay was replaced, but i am sure it was a short (somewhere, probably the radio) that shorted out the switch to the blinker/lights. I am going to get that (again...) tomorrow and put it on and HOPEFULLY it all goes well, otherwise I have no idea...

as you might see below, previous owner had a clifford crap alarm system in it...I replaced the alternator and had a little fire with switches...you can see the burn issues. Replaced the switch, made sure all was grounded, RIPPED out the alarm system and afterward discovered that the radio was connected to the light/switch handle. All worked fine and then all went out...sucks, but I am putting my bet on the turnswitch and disconnecting the damn radio too.
