Default 1991 Honda accord lx blinker problems

Hey I'm new here so sorry if I mess up any. I have a 1991 Honda accord lx, I've been having trouble with my blinkers and warning lights on dash. I just got the car a few weeks ago and none of the warning lights work at all,
. If I turn the left blinker on my high beam light flashes but no blinker light on dash. If I turn my right blinker light on both blinker lights flash along with the battery and brake light on dash please I need help I've rattled my brain trying to fix this

When you press the hazard switch, do they work?

Check the Turn Signal Fuse (7.5A), which is located in the Auxiliary Fuse Holder, which is attached to right side of the under-dash fuse/relay box.

The indicators are grounded by Ground G401 (see image). Check the wiring and ground bolt. You may want to clean up the bolt mounting area with some sand paper.

Your thread title should probably have been about problem with dash indicators instead of blinkers (e.g., turn signals).

To check for battery power (+):
  1. With a multimeter (e.g., voltmeter) set to check voltage, check that there is battery power on both sides of under-dash Fuse No. 1 (10A) with the ignition in RUN or START.
  2. If there is battery power on both sides of Fuse No. 1, then check for power at the Yellow wire (terminal pin no. 6) at Connector C757 (the green 18-pin connector) that plugs into the top of the gauge assembly. (Look at the wire side of the female connector to determine the pin numbering, see attached image.)
If there is battery power at the yellow wire (terminal pin no. 6) at Connector C757, then test the ground source (-) coming through the Black wire from Ground G401:

At the terminal no. 13 (black wire) at Connector C757, test for continuity to Ground G401.

To test for continuity, set the multimeter to either the "ohms" or the setting it will beep when you hold the two leads together.
  • If your meter beeps, it means you have continuity.
  • If it is on ohms scale, you will have continuity when it reads close to 0 ohms.
  • If it doesn't beep , shows OL (open line) or a 1 (infinity ohms); it means you don't have continuity.
Don’t turn on ignition for this continuity test. Touch one end of the multimeter to terminal pin no. 13 and the other end to Ground G401. There should be continuity to ground.
