I have no signals what so ever and no reverse lights but my brake lights work and my hazzards do to. all lights come on when i turn on the lights. I checked all the fuses and there all good. I also changed the flasher because I thought that was the problem. Im dumb founded as to what it could be. need help bad thanks marc ???

Have you disconnected the subs to see if that corrects the problem?  How did you wire it?

Check your ground connections first. Where did you tap your power supply for your radio and amp?

yes i have unplugged everything and still nothing. this is how i wired the subs I have a power wire comming strait from the battery to the amp. Then i have a ground wire from the amp to the seat bracket. I still have the stock radio which isnt hooked up to the subs. What i do is plug my ipod into the sub and listin to music that way. any ideas... ???

I would definately recheck the grounds. Make sure you have a ground from the block to the firewall, battery to block, battery to fender,and make sure the ground to the seat bracket is good and clean. Bare metal is prefered.
