dash board lights

I probably will download and print off a manual. My car has lots of little electrical gremlins. My wiring under the dash looks like frankenstein, all cobbled and spliced together. Unrelated to the dash lights, when I was looking under there yesterday trying to figure out the problem; my arm rested on a wire that got hot deal quick and now my turn signals don't work. Somehow shorted out the flasher. One problem at a time lol
