Signal lights fuse question.

Hey Guys I recently changed the taillight gaskets in my 8. Hooked everything up exactly the way I took it apart, but now my signal lights don't turn on or flash. Based on my search I think it may be a blown fuse. Is there a way to confirm this before I shell out $54 for the replacement fuse? Thanks in advance for any insight gents!

$54 for a fuse? That seems absurd. But yes, it is a blown fuse.

I agree Ross Dawg, but it's the fuse in the engine compartment that needs to be changed. It's $54 for the part alone! It's not possible to check the fuse without Mazda's tech tools. I'll update and let you know how it goes.

Just pull the fuse and use a meter

It's a simple continuity test

Aren't there spares in the fuse box cover along with the fuse puller?
Sorry, it's been a while since I've been in there

$54 sounds like the price for the relay itself...
