Okay
first i want to say i have replaced damn near EVERY FUSE in the fuse panel inside the car including the flasher for the hazards

- Turning Signals intermittently Do not work
i find playing with some of the dash buttons like Hazards and rear Defroster bring it to life, but it does take a while and it annoying,

Part of this i noticed is, the rear defroster will not work unless the Signals work, VISA VERSA, and somtimes the rear defroster will go on and when i put on the turn signal the defroster will click off and if i play with it ill get it so both can be on

Also part of this is, the Reverse Lights do not work unless the Turning signals are working, VISA VERSA

- Heater, the core is bypassed, but the blower should still turn on... it doesn't i have replaced EVERY FUSE, it turned on when i first bought the car but now it won't go on... any thoughts?

-Okay i had my Exhaust done not this sunday but hte past sunday... i was driving around with no 02s from then untill around 3pm today, i finally got my 02 extensions in the mail throw it on and notice i have what i guess is a misfire, its wet out, and im punching 2nd gear at like 3000rpms and its not even spinning, im like WTF, think i might burned out a spark plug or somthing?

may have a bad multifunction switch and or ignition switch and I'm not refering to the lock cylinder where you stick your key............if the misfire is present only when it's wet..check secondary ignition components...like cap, rotor and wires

so if it has a misfire run a koer test/ cylinder balance test and fine out what cylinder is contributing less power due to the misfire.....if it's missing it'll run rough and studder on acceleration..if it's just got a lack of power and it's a maf car.. clean the maf with the appropriate cleaner
