    Dash out, No Blinkers.

    Would I need to install the dash again to get the blinkers working?

    Right now I'm having problems with the Windows and I suspect the K5/K7 Relays. Still trying to troubleshoot this.

    Cluster installed, and I was wondering if the blinkers can work without the dash in.

    Thanks in advance.

    Ummm dash isn't exactly electrical, so that means you have something unplugged.

    I've replaced / pulled the dash probably 10 times between a few cars, and never had a problem with something not working just because a dash board was not installed. Even w/o a cluster car would still start and run.

      you need the emergency flashers (4-ways) otherwise you won't be able to turn any turn signal on unless you bridge the connection.

        Please expand... Do you mean the Hazard light switch needs to be plugged in?

        Thanks...
