Default turn signals wont blink and no gauge in dash is working

I was putting on my new sidemarkers and decided to test the blinkers and it blink for a second then it stopped. I checked all my fuses and everyone of them are still good. I moved the car and notice my gauges were working either. Does anyone have any suggestions what might be the problem?

Carefully double check fuses 15 and 24 under the dash. Are the slots in the fuse box where these fuses insert damaged? Note that Fuse 15 protects circuits for both the gauges and turn signals.

ok i checked my fuses again and they are all fine. But one thing observe is that the clock wont come on with the ignition switch is on. And now i realize everything that is connected to the ignition power switch (blinkers, gauges, and clock) arent working. By a chance do you guys know if all three of them are connected together to the ignition switch power or something? I'm thing maybe theres an open circuit in a connection that connects all of them to the ignition power.

Check whether the IG2 terminal of the ignition switch is bad.

Remove dash fuse 15 and check it with a multimeter. There should be continuity between the two terminals.

The diagram below shows all the components that rely on fuse 15 for power. Do any of these components work?

By the way, the hazards get power through fuse 43 not fuse 15.

Could be bad combination switch or hazard switch. Start by testing the latter:

I think Danomatic93 recently made a thread on how to repair a combination switch. In addition, test the switch and wires before buying a new combination switch. I'll post the diagrams.

Also make sure that fuse 15 did not blow again.

Do the dash lights turn ON when the key is turned to ON(II). If so, check whether hood fuse 31 or dash fuses 18 and 24 are blown. If the fuses are fine, then the main relay is likely bad. You can replace or resolder it.
