Quick blinker bulb question; in the middle of changing

So I am currently in the middle of changing my gauge bulbs...I know that the dimmer needs to be plugged in to make the cluster work...it's working great, but can't get the blinker bulbs to turn on...what else needs to be plugged in?

You've probably tried this already but...on my truck, all the dash lights come on w/ the switch to turn on your headlights, but the key has to be on for the blinker indicators to light up.

Yeah key was in at various positions but no go...hmmm

Edit: I figured it out. I was thinking of what else would turn the blinkers on that would be wired in and I thought, "oh, the hazards." Plugged that in and sure enough, she works. Did a LED conversion, will post some pics later.

Were they working before or were they the reason you replaced the bulbs? Maybe a fuse shorted out while you were unplugging and plugging stuff in. I would check the fuse block by your left shin and the one under the hood too (not sure off hand were the blinker fuse is at).
