my friend has a 92 si, there is a problem when he uses his blinkers. if he turns the right one on it will stay on and not blink, and if he turns the left on one all of the light dash lights will start to blink along with the corner and head lights. im not sure of the exact order everything is going but i will get more info later. any ideas? also he has boost and oil pressure guages but they work fine. we checked all the wiring for those and it seemed fine.

Sounds like someone rewired something with a blindfold or its a simple prank. I'd check the connections on the blinker relays and make sure nothing isn't improperly seated ( steady blinker). As far as the steady blinker goes, the relays work on resistance, so you might have a dead relay if your bulbs and the wiring to them are fine. The other one must be wired wrong.

Ok so these are the updated symptoms...when the lights are on...the right blinker stays on but doesnt blink...when the lights aren't on the blinker makes the hazards flash and the gauge lights flash as well... when the boost and oil gauges were wired in everything worked fone for a couple months and just started acting up...so i doubt it was anything with the wiring that was altered.

madness. trace everything out with a set of schematics

The first thing to do is make sure that you do not have any fuses in spots that are not supposed to; this was doing some crazy stuff in my car.
