my 87 lx has some problems now that its getting almost finished.

1. my hazards dont work with the switch
2. my left signal works fine but when i turn on the right my hazzards come on and right side of dash blinks liek the signal.
3. when my dash lights are on the 2 turn signal indicators are lite up solid only on the dash

where do i even start?!?!?

Start by replacing the flasher relay. I take it that all this sillyness started at one time?

I've heard of a short causing screwy stuff like that, even when the short doesn't seem to directly relate.

BTW, Dagger, I love that quote from Mustang5L5. It's so true.

Ya gotta be more specific bro. What plastic plugs? Which wires? Is it for the fuse panel or the combo switch or the light assembly or the column?

You may just need to go down and get yourself a Chilton manual with a wiring diagram and see what's what?
