Ok....so I know its baby steps...soooo

Got the dome light working...I know its a small thing...BUT

Turn Signals now working except the indicator light on the dash stays on full time (ignition on) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

NONE of the heater blowers are working....I know I need to pull the lever and clean it...then we will see...but the dash fan isnt working either....fuses are good...

But here is a biggie....The lights in the console gauges stay on FULL TIME....key on key off doesnt matter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) I cant tell what the wiring diagram really says..LOL

Thanks again for your help....maybe I should have a "help the wiring idiot" party?

the turn signal "bulb" is wired incorectly check its groudning on the back of gauge 2 types of bulb holders ie. 2 types of grounding i do not know what you have (there are a couple ways they ground and could be jumped??) or your getting a failure from your relay but the directionals work so but??
Console gauges should be operated by the headlight switch rotation but if thats not it they are getting power directly so on the back of the gauges check the power lead that supposed to go tothe clock is not being used to power the lights inadvertantly too this is an easy screw up accicdental.
on your fans ..
in the front trunk the wires have to be connectec possibly one got pulled off. or even the same issue with the wires that go to the heater control maybe one got pulled off..

check your rear fan relay with a known good one (headlight relay is a good sub) the defrost relay is the first relay in the relay board the farthest to the rear of car. also there is a blue 25 amp fuse in the relay board the runs the fuel pump and defrost fan.. also again check it is wired..

good luck.. a 12 volt lighted tester helps find these problems.. and some basic logic whihc gets better with trials
