Default non honda electrical help please

I am going to post this here because I don't know where else it would go and I used to have a 92-00 civic until someone stole it last month

Short story - My civic got stolen so I needed to get something quick so I found an 89 Ford Bronco II. Turns out it is an electrical nightmare. The turn signals don't work but the hazards do, and the back-up lights don't work either. I have already checked all bulbs and fuses and all are good or replaced.

I got some advice elsewhere that it may be the multifunction switch on the column....

Well, I went to the local U-Pull-It today and picked up another multifunction switch....it didn't do anything.

While I was pulling the dash apart I saw a cluster f*@k of wiring under the dash so followed it around and found there used to be an alarm and almost all the wiring was still under there. I removed all of that including a crappy trailer harness hoping that would help, nothing.

Still no turn signals or back up lights.

The hazards, wipers, and bright lights all work on both MF switches, just no signals.

Any other ideas?

If this needs to be somewhere else please move it

Time to bust out the multimeter and start tracing wires. Something's been cut or corroded or has gone bad.
