Icon2 hazard lights and turn signal lights do not work after a short circuit

I tried to install a rear parking sensors in Honda Odyssey 2005 LX myself and took off the rear lights. And while trying to find backlight cable incidentally caused a short circuit in rear left turn signal lights. Just before that hazard lights and turn signals were working well. Immediately after the short circuit turn signals and hazard lights stopped working. Nothing at all happens when I turn on the hazard lights or the left or right turn signals - blinking indicator is Not shown in the main display behind the wheel (where speedometer or tachometer, fuel level indicator, etc. are) - no reaction at all. All other electronic functions are working as usual - radio is on, all other lights are on.

I checked just one suspected fuse - it is ok.

Is it something I can fix myself ? If yes, how? What can be the likely or definite reason for it ?

Thank you in advance

Probably just a blown fuse.

Check under-hood Fuse No. 16 (15A).

Thank you so much. When I checked before you wrote I checked only two fuses. After your response I checked all 15A fuses and found a blown one and replacing helped. Hazard lights work again ! Thank you. Can you please help to clarify one more point ? I switched to Reverse shift and no light turns on - I mean there is nothing that looks like a backlight. In fuses chart there is a fuse for backlight with asterisk and asterisk ref says If provided. My question is - Is it indeed possible that there is no Reverse backlight installed at all in Honda Odyssey 2005 LX ? Thank you so much once again.

There are back-up lights (reverse). The fuse that protects that circuit is Driver's side under-dash Fuse No. 21 (7.5A).

Also make sure those bulbs are okay.
