Wiring messed up

  

Vicky -> Wiring messed up (7/3/2008 9:26:19 AM)

I took my car in for inspection and they fixed the brakes.  But they said something about the wiring and "fixed it" for me.  Now when I put on a blinker, both blinkers blink, which probably confuses the people behind me.  Also, I think when I put on the brakes, the right blinker blinks.  It''s all messed up.  I''ve waited too long to return it and have them fix their mistake, because I started driving another car until the brakes gave out.  Now I''m back to this car and my daddy doesn''t know this is happening.  How can I fix this?  I want to do it by myself.

Thanks!

I appreciate you not replying if you don''t know the answer.  Nothing annoys me more than when someone answers a question and doesn''t really know the answer. America runs on people like that. But can someone please tell me where I can go to find out where the wires are?

Wow!  I''ve treaded the land of head-scratchers and shoulder-shruggers.  Thanks, anyway.

My first attempt at a solution is easy. First go to the place you had it fixed and tell them to point out where exactly they had "fixed" the wiring. Unless someone altered the wiring or the ends corroded off of it, like a plug perhaps, the old term, "If it aint broke dont fix it" comes to mind.
Thats where I would start, but w/o some kind of mechanical/electrical background it would be difficult to attempt a repair yourself. Not everyone who may have your answer logs on here everyday. (Some or most are out tinkering with their own cars!)
Sometimes not having the tools and the know-how can get you into trouble.
