Sounds like you'll have to buy a new clock.

You think that a new clock for 60 dollars is insane? I once told them to replace my clock light and it cost me 54 dollars >_< Just the light

Try rotating the light 180 degrees. LEDs matter which way they are in. Also, if you held the soldering iron on for too long, you can fry the LED.

Is your hazard switch plugged in? If not, your turn signals won't work.

Hope that helps

be like it is
easy answer: yes, your turn signals wont work.

make sure the harness is plugged in all the way...otherwise, you might need to hunt down the fuse...

lol i found that out the hard way when someone broke into my 5th gen and somehow managed to jack up my hazard switch when they stole the cd player.... had to find all the little fuking pieces so i could re-assemble it.....luckily they were still in the car.
