Sorry I didn't leave a one line answer or a website but ...
First off, all species of penguin are protected so that you could only (legally) get a penguin from a Zoo that had bred it.
Secondly, you would need a constant and reliable supply of fresh frozen fish as well as appropriate vitamin supplements, you would also need to know a vet who was familiar with penguins and the many diseases they are prone to when kept in captivity.
Thirdly, you would need to be able to feed the birds every day so you couldn't take any more vacations! You can't just put a penguin into kennels!
Fourthly, you would need to build a suitable enclosure to keep the bird - remember different species have very different environmental requirements (temperature, vegetation etc.). Plus all species of penguins require access to a large, deep and clean pool of water - preferably salt water.
Fifthly, penguins tend to live in large colonies - anything less than say 20 birds would not be sufficient. So you would need a very healthy income. Zoo's here reckon it costs around £600 pounds per year just to keep a penguin in fish!
Finally, why would you want to keep penguins for yourself anyway? They are much better left in the wild or in well looked after breeding colonies in Zoos and Aquaria. Remember that nearly all species are endangered to some extent or another.
I would strongly discourage anyone from trying to keep a penguin as a pet - except the cuddly toy variety!

The two problems may be unrelated.
If all the trafficators have stopped working it could be fuses or it may be the relay. You should be able to see whether a fuse has blown by examining it.
It may be that, whilst looking for the fault in the trafficators, your husband has disturbed a wiring connection that has affected the ignition system or it could be that a fuse on the ignition circuit has become dislodged.
Refer to your handbook which should give you the fuse ratings for each of the circuits in the fusebox and check that they are the correct amp rating.
Do the ignition warnings lights come on, on the dashboard, when you turn the ignition on?
I suggest that your husband carefully retraces his steps, exactly, and you may find the answer. That's all I can advise without further info.
