i have a 1990 gt mustang and after i changed to transmission from an auto to a manual my turn signals stopped working. i changed both of the flashers and still nothing and the fuses are good too. anyone have any ideas on what else to look for?

simple unbolt the cover that goes over the ignition tumbler. Then theres 2 screws that hold it in place. Unplug the connector and install.
Ford might have it but pick n pull or junkyard is your best bet.

The turn signal switch gets a lot of wear and tear, so it eventually will break down. You might be able to test it by finding the wires at the bottom of the column, and connecting them together to see if the signal engages. You'll need a wiring diagram to find the right wires to cross.

check the flasher first.
any old autoparts store should have both for fairly cheap.
but again, check the flasher first.
much cheaper.
you can test the switch with a volt-ohm meter too. a haynes or chilton manual(which I assume every novice mechanic has) should be able to tell you how.

The horn and cruise control (if you have it) are a different circuit. The signals have their own power. Check the fuse and the wire.
