Some electrical problems

So here they are, all started with my starter shortcut (inverted wires on solenoid) before that everything was working fine

1- RPM not working : i've checked the wire to the coil , wire is in good shape

2- Oil pressure not working : wire still connected to the oil pressure switch and isn't cut

3- Flashers are working , when i push the selector up and down the arrow light-up in the dash, but instead on flashing, the selected flasher stay "open" , there is probably a relay somewhere that make them flash, but where?


im out of patience, if anybody can help me !

You can check those fuses visually, just remove one at a time and examine them. Use an ohmmeter or continuity checker if necessary, but usually you can see the burned link.

Sometimes you find that the fusebox cover isn't right, anyhow. But I think that the diagram in the FSM is correct.
