Default Stereo and Turn Signals acting weird

Hi guys, I recently hit a rather large bump in the road, and not my stereo head seems to be just shutting off randomly. It comes back on most of the time within a few minutes. Do you guys think I just knocked a power or ground loose or something?

The only thing that has me concerned, is that since that happened my front turn signals do not seem to work. The rear ones work fine but now they will cycle fast like when you have a bulb or something.

Any help would be appreciated!

Radio issue might be related to T solder in the BCM. Do the power windows not work also when the radio goes out?

I think they do, but I'm not sure. I will check today. Well, now that I think of it my dad drove it the other day and he said the windows wouldn't roll down. I assumed he was just being old but he might be right. I will drive it today and let you know.

Here is the BCM solder issue:

Images appear to be missing from the first page of "The Fix" thread that Blu99T/A posted, but you can see a pic of the BCM and the affected solder points circled in the other thread above.

Thanks for the help guys! This makes me feel relieved that I don't really have to hunt an electrical bug.
