Default electrical

hey, ok i posted on here before but no one really answered my question. i gota 94 civic hb. and seem to be having electrical problems.

1. few months ago my passenger side blinker started blinking fast even though the bulb was the right voltage.

2. then after a while when my radio would be on and i would pull on the lever for the wiper fluid there would be static in the radio.

3. my driver side back break and turn signal is very faint. and nowww when i press the break on my cluster the left turn signal arrow lights up and instead of my break light my turn signal comes on.

do does anyone have any input on this. thanks

I would check the wiring. Look under the dash for bare wires or rubber insulation burnt off or wires shorted together. look at the wiring around the taillights also. Sounds like you have a short somewhere. the wiring in the brake light circuit should not have anything to do with your turn signals.

Sounds to me like a possible wrong bulb installed maybe? not sure but i know having dual filament bulbs in a single filament socket or Vice Versa can throw off the speed of the flashers as well as maybe having the wrong bulb to the wrong socket. just anotehr idea to check or double chack maybe.

those are two seperate circuits. You most likely have those circuits shorted together.

If you want you can fly me out to Toronto and i will diagnose it for you.

This would point to a bad ground. This is the only thing common with both circuts.
Check your grounds in the tails, I should say clean them thay are probably all rusted. I would check this first.
