fabric8 help me
your the guru like i said.... its a 97 integra, the harness that goes from the passenger side tail light to the inside of the car was cut.... there are some colors such as green with a white tracer that there are 2 of. well heres my question, about a week ago my car was running and i was replacing bulbs with the blinkers on and when i replaced all the blown ones i went to cut the car off and i saw smoke so i cut the car off immediately.
i checked the fuse for my blinkers and it was blown. i replaced it but when i hit the blinkers now nothing happens????
so my question is what went wrong? wheres the relay for the blinkers so i can check that. or give me other suggestions

The relay is under the dash (I think), but I'd suspect a wiring problem. If the fuse was blown, the bulbs that you replaced might not have actually been blown.
I'd recommend finding a factory manual (not Chilton or Hanes) so you can have connector pinouts, wire colors, that kind of stuff. This is a really hard problem to troubleshoot remotely, mainly because you're dealing with modified wiring. I'm in Colorado pretty much permanently, but there are people local to you who should be able to help out.
If the wiring was stock and un-modified, this would be simpler to troubleshoot. Make sure you find out if the wiring is correct or no before you worry about relays and that stuff. I'm guessing someone has fucked it up. People shouldn't messing around modified wiring unless they know what they're doing, or get some help.
It makes me mad because sooo many perfectly good cars get turned into unreliable piles when people start messing around with wiring.

That's too bad.. That's the first thing I ask about is the wiring. The mechanical stuff is easy to troubleshoot and fix, the wiring usually isn't, especially if some of it is missing.
