So I bought 3157 switchbacks for my 92 and once I plugged them in they got mad .. melted a terminal on the led and melted into the plastic body.. bulbs still worked tho so I tested with a multimeter on the connector thinking they pins on the led were in the wrong place..

Multimeter says the top right was 12v the one below it was ground and the 2 on the left are 6 volt which made no sense..

Kept playing around and with the stock glass bulb everything worked well on stock flasher but the led flasher didnt like it and the pass would flash once then stop. Not to mention the gauges lit up a little with the flash and the driver didnt flash but held sold green arrow..

When I checked the glass bulb turn signal it shown both filaments lighting up one turn signal only...

Seems there is a issue with turn signals and parking lights as it would act differently with parking lights on..

Im going threw my wiring books tonight but I wanted to know if anyone had this problem and can help..

Also the dash lights always from what I remembered flashed to turn signals like eatc would flicker to the turn signal as well as the stock radio.

Had a problem with power seats and locks that I never fully figured out .. ended up running a wire from elsewhere to power the seats .. the ground for the seats seen like 5 volts..

Not sure if thats related just added to it..

When I tired to find that problem in the past I believe it was right at the harness where it goes threw the firewall..

If no easy solution is found im pulling all the wiring out of my 95 mtx and switching it.. besides the auto lights off feature id like to have anyways

I do remember the brown wire powers all the lighting so maybe my problem is there. . The diagrams dont show enough detail like location of grounds etc

I just went and set up this account so I can upload photos. There ya go.

I couldn't take pics of the huge wiring diagrams I had because my camera phone isn't good enough. I can take pics tomorrow with a camera.

There's power and ground distribution with wiring diagrams taken out of the 92 evtm.
