Angry Electrical problem...

Ok theres 3 "stages" of turning your lights on in my EG.
Stage oneSwitch is off...daytime running lights): Everything works FINE..no problems.

Stage two(corners lit up): Blinkers stay at a normal pace. Driver side headlight is a bit dim(barely noticable)

Stage three(night time driving): Left turning signal blinker goes VERY quickly. Also, my windshield wipers will turn on(the wiper switch is off). Rigth turning signal stays the same and is normal.

Now I have NO idea what is causing this. I checked all connectors and replaced all bulbs. There is only ONE thing that I can think of.

Recently I did a swap and took out the engine harness and put it back in, either way, there was this "white box" that had the shape of a little house with a metal "roof" on it. I bolted that back onto the chassis on the DRIVERS side(where the problem is) but left it hanging on the passenger side.

Does ANYONE have an idea for me? I really dont want to drive without windshield wipers at night when its not raining and then have to put them back on at night when it rains.

help

So your winshield wipers come on with your signal lights?, or there on as soon as your head lights come on?

these problems are easy, get a wiring diagram, u have a short to ground in that circuit, look for a pinched wire.
