Finished building my civic v. electrical issue
I putmy '92 hatch together, it was initially a shell and I had to use parts from different civics to piece this thing together.
Now that I am done and the car runs I have a small issue that I can't figure out.
My driver's side day light running light is dim and my rear driver's side turn signal is turned on so it's always orange, but a dim orange. Aside from that, when i turn on my headlights my wipers turn on and when I signal to the left my wipers also turn on. If i signal to the right however I have no issues. So left signal and headlights on = wipers turning on. I traced the wires and the harness is stock, nothing is touching or exposed, could be because of a faulty ground as I don't recall if the dash grounds, but then why can I signal to the right with no issues?
edit: i checked the ground behind the gauge cluster and I have that hooked up, I am not aware of any other grounds that the dash might have. I also traced the wires from the headlight/turn signal switch to the fusebox and I don't see anything wrong/rips/damage, etc. It's seems strange that only the driver's side is affected by this.
