Alright guys, i'm hoping some of you may be able to give me some ideas on where to start looking for these problems.
The car is a 1991 Honda Accord LX Automatic
To start with, When i use my left blinker, my speedometer shorts out every time it clicks, making the speedo jump up and down simultaneously with the blinker. I turn off the blinker, it immediately goes back to normal operation.
Second thing, which is beyond anything i've ever had happen lol. I went to try out the cruise control for the first time. I pushed in the 'cruise' button on the dash, then pressed the 'set' button on the steering wheel. Not only did the cruise control not work, but my windshield wipers turned on:wtf:. The wiper switch was in the off position, so I tried to move the switch around to see if i got any response. The wipers would not shut off until i messed with it for some time, and when they did turn off, it was in the "high" setting of the wipers, and it stopped mid way through the windshield. I was able to move the wipers down again by pressing down on the right side control stick off the steering column.
I've since tried to use the cruise control again, to see if i was going crazy or some shit. Sure enough, as soon as i pressed the 'set' button, the wipers went crazy once more.
Also, with the blinker, the bulbs are all perfect; however, the only one that doesn't work is the drivers side front. The drivers side blinker is the one causing interference with the speedometer.
Any ideas where to start looking?
