Default Blinkers not working with Running-lights/Headlights on.... :(

Well I have been working on this CRX for awhile now and just went and started throwing my whole JDM front end on it and decided to check wiring.
Blinkers work all the way around, and hazards UNTIL I turn on running lights and or headlights!

Its dark out now and I'm going to try to look through the wiring diagram until bed to see what to check out... But I was checking if anyone else had this problem by chance, and possibly it was something stupid heh.

The turn signal indicators on the cluster also light up when the parking lights/running lights are on.

The ONLY thing I can think of is when getting my horn working the hot wire touched ground. So my first thought was maybe I blew some fuse, I checked every fuse in the car like 4x heh. I'm not sure why the horn hot wire grounding would have anything to do with this but its the only thing that I did wrong today that I know of :X

No wires were spliced together, no wires are bare.

I had the car with no front end, no lightning so I never was able to test it out until now, I'm honestly not sure if it was always like this.

If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.

Will a 90 hatchback si one work?

Also I found that kinda behind the center console there is this black box type thing, pretty small. there was 6 wires going to it, and they were melted together and some were completely bare.

So I pulled the dash back out and re insulated all those wires and all but still nothing. I'm going to replace that little box also, I will try to get a picture of it later.

And this couldn't be anything to do with the flasher relay could it? Or is what I'm talking about the flasher relay
I'll let you all know what happens!

Thanks for the help mavrick.

hmm, those melted wires wouldn't have helped, did anything change after you re insulated

well I no longer heard a odd buzzing sound

the problem ended up being just a ground issue. Wierd that it would let my blinkers work normally, but not when the lights were on. Go figure, a ground is always the source of every problem I have lol
