weird electrical problem

Post by oval_eyez »

well,

im gonna try to make this as clear and short as possible...

i have a 96' SOHC ATX


i have Depo Headlights. and clear corners

A while back I tried hooking up some fog lights by wiring the power wire to the front turn signals ( :oops: ) that was before I knew anything about electronics lol... the fog lights drew to much power through the headlight switch and it melted the wiring harness for the switch... (it didnt blow any fuses :? ) well I was able to buy a new switch and i had someone patch up the wiring harness. it was slightly melted in the middle near the tan wire that goes to the turn signals.

well i never had any problems after that, until now ( 2 years later)

I kept blowing my interior light fuse, hazard light fuse, turn signal, and park lamp fuses. After searching I found there was a naked wire in my back right turn signal bulb... after taping the wire and replacing the fuses I bought a new 'flasher' for the interior lights, and a new headlight switch....

Now, heres my newest problem and the reason i posted this...

when i turn my right turn signal on, the indicator light barely comes on, and I can hear the engine get bogged down when the right turn signals click on/off ....

^^ that only happens sometimes, no particular time

my corner lense light stays on bright like I was turning right... instead of the light flashing from dim to bright it goes from bright to OFF when i have the right turn signal on...

i think i have a ground somewhere in maybe the still melted headlight switch wiring harness or maybe somewhere in the hazard light/turn signal switches, i may even have a crimped or cut wire along the right side turn signals....'

lol does anyone have any suggestions?
