I started an install of a viper alarm/starter in my 2012 honda crosstour (accord)
Before starting to solder, I unwrapped the wire harness. I soldered most of the cables (none on the blinker harness,) and wrapped some of the wires back up.
Now I notice that my right blinker doesn't work. Everything else works, just not the right blinker. I get no flashing or blinking noises.
My hazards DO work, perfectly.
Any suggestions on where to start?
Does the front right blinker have it's own fuse or relay, separate from the left side? Not sure how this could have happened since I didn't even touch those wires yet.
I appreciate any help, thanks.

It could just be a bad relay, see here: http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/154-audio-electronics-lighting/76939-blinker-spasms-bad-turn-signal-relay.html

Another possibility...  Did you unplug any vehicle connectors?  Make sure they are all correctly plugged back in, fully seated and not canted.  Check for bent pins if they don't seem to be seating properly.
Soldering is fun!

Or coincidentally a failed indicator switch.

Indicator switch meaning the blinker handle?
I unplugged them all actually, but made sure they were correctly, fully seated a few times.
I'll have time to bust out the dmm and figure it out tomorrow.
Does anyone know if each side has it's own Relay?

The "relay" is actually 2-in-1. If you follow the link I posted above, you can scroll down to where someone took one apart. Apparently it's not too uncommon.

I saw that link in my research. Are the relays the same, and in the same location for 7th and 8th gen? That link was for a 7th.
