Default Turn signal switch is broke

So this problem is 100% my bad. I was installing new turn signal pigtails and touched the wires together...Yea i am an idiot and got in a hurry. So now the blinkers switch wont work at all, but the hazards switch will turn on all the blinkers...What have i done!!

P.S. I already checked the fuses.

I found one on ebay. I really wasn't expecting the part to be called a "turn signal switch" lol. Thanks for the info.

Before you buy it on e-bay how soon do you need it?
Some e-bay sellers ship USPS and that can take upto 10 days.
AtlanticBritish has shipping options, if you order tonight and choose FedEx you will have it in 3 days if you live east of the Mississippi River.
5 if you are on the west coast.

Always disconnect ground side of battery when doing anything! to Avoid Damage like that!

So I finally got my new turn signal in and my blinkers still don't work!!! The emergency flashers are fine but using the turn signal will not allow the blinkers to come on! What else could it be?

Okay here is a quick F***ing lesson!!! Check your fuses... I must have skipped this one fuse and it cost me 150 bucks! Live and learn but damn I messed that one up!
