Default Ugh... Turn Signal Issue Caused by Me

Yeah, yeah... I screwed up. Last thing of the day and wasn't thinking. I was hooking up my PIA lamps and in my tired state, thought hmmm.. let's tie into the front turn lamps instead of the side lamps like I did before. Um stupid idea.

After realizing my flawed thinking, I severed the PIA wire from where I tied it in. So now this is what happens when I put on my right turn signal. Light comes on but doesn't flash. Swapped bulbs, bulb is fine. Inside, I get a normal turn signal click for 2 clicks then it goes to the fast click like the bulb is out. The rear right turn signal is just fine.

Before I head down a rabbit hole, is there an easy "Oh, you need to replace your...."? I should stop playing with electrical. Seriously.

What happens when you turn on the hazard lights? If it were me I'd disconnect the battery for a few minutes and also make sure the plug for that turn signal is fully connected. I'm guessing It was disconnected when you wired into it.

I turn on the hazard and sound is normal but driver flasher doesn't blink.

I'll try the battery tonight.
