civic si 93 electrical lights problem HELP PLEASE PICTURE!!
excuse my grammer but heres the story, i just purchase a 93 honda civic si with 98 ls swap and not knowing what was wrong with it until i drove it off the drive way.
first i notice the left blinker light did not work when the headlight was on and it stayed on picture below
when i would turn left without the headlight both front and back turn signal would work but it would blink really fast like there was a burnt bulb and the bulbs are brand new. i also notice the front left turn signal lighs is alittle dimmer compare to the rest
when i poped the hood i saw 3 harness on the driver side that was not plugged in picture below
then i saw some wires that was cut next to the driver side headlights
then on the passanger side there was a harness not plug in not sure what it is
where should i start?

so wait you bought a car before you even drove it? Ok well since it is done and over with I wont rag on you but ALWAYS drive a car before you buy it. The swap could have been done half ***'ly by some kid (happens quite often) so you may have to take it to a shop to have everything checked over to make sure it was installed right.

The 2nd picture wih the orange plug is for ABS, which it appears you do not have ?
Most of the time, Honda uses brown/black or pure black to denote grounds. Picture one illustrates a distribution block for grounds, all the wires meet there and are grounded to the chassis.
For the grounds - can you trace back where the wires were cut?
I can check my notes and see if I wrote down wire colors for the chassis harness and try to figure out some of those rogue plugs

Green is for the ABS wheel sensor. The teal one is for the power steering pressure switch. And the red one is for cruise control.
then i saw some wires that was cut next to the driver side headlights
That is your junction connector for your grounds, just seems to be something was removed along those lines, but the box has to be grounded for your blinker to work.
then on the passanger side there was a harness not plug in not sure what it is
This is for your horn
where should i start? </TD></TR></TABLE>
