1992 Pontiac Grand Prix.
I swapped the turn signal switch. Now I have no electrical anywhere. I have checked the connection under the dash three times and the connection is correct and in tight.

Help!

Thanks

I do not know where the fusible link is....I checked two fuses next to the battery, one 50 amp the other 60 amp. both ok.
Ignition switch is original and turns but no electrical response. There is no dome lights, door buzzer, dash lights, nothing.

Thank you for your thoughts. I bought a circuit tester. The first place i checked was...my battery. It was my last place to check. Evidently I caused a short to the battery. I charged it and everything is fine.

Thanks again for you time
