Make sure all the connections on the battery are tight. Does the car run fine? The alternator also may be on it's way out.

Yep i hate electrical problems they are definately not my strong suit. Id try a load test on the battery make sure its good. Make sure the alternator is putting out. Try and check continuity of all the fuses with a multimeter. Sometimes u check the fuse and it looks good but could have a small break in it. Check the ones under the hood and under the dash. Did your turn signals work when ur 4ways didnt, or did none of them work? When u replaced the flasher are you sure you got the 4-way and not the turn signal? i think there are two separate. I work mainly on fords chevys and dodges but i have seen problems with the 4ways due to a bad turn signal switch. Again, not sure about dsm's, never seen the problem on them. Also the problem with the headlights and interior lights may lie in the headlight switch, or even a bad ground somewhere else.

Do the flashers work? I know if the flashers are unplugged, the turn signals won't work.
