I'm starting to feel like nate with these trouble threads...

Yesterday, as i got in my car to go home, i noticed my turning signal lights in my dash were both on. (barely lit... but lit) So i tried my turning signals... they didn't work. I drove home (< 2miles) and trouble shot it in the garage.

Turning signals barely lit, don't work.
Hazard doesn't work
Wiper fluid button doesn't work.

Wipers DO work
headlights/high beams work

Then.. magically, the slight illumination stopped, and everything worked fine.

SO I checked it this morning. Turn the car over, and they are slightly lit again... and don't work. This is where it takes a turn for the more screwy. I turned my highbeams on, which while on, the turning signals hyper blink. Fog lights off, causes regular blinking headlights. Both on, regular turning signals, both off, no turning signals.

BOTH TIMES I was testing this... after a short period of time.. the dim lit part, goes away and they work fine. When dim, hazards don't work either, after they go out, the hazards work fine.

I'd think this has something to do with my new wiring... but i didn't get near the back half of the gauges at all. nothing near the turning signals.


the multiswitch seems to be working.... i don't know wtf is going on...
