I finally got all of the electrics figured out in my fiero and almost everything works except for a few hiccups here and there.
one big hiccup is the right blinker doesnt blink, it just turns on and doesnt flash. The other blinker blinks but does it very slowly and doesnt sit at a very consistant rate.
The third hiccup is I have no power to the radio, its not the fuse because the horn and other interior parts all work fine.
im just wondering how I would be able to fix these issues as fast as possible.------------------ James Bird

Radio uses 2 fuses. Check All Fuses. Many OE Radios are "Dead" because 1 bad solder joint, etc, & part(s) to whole thing don't work. Example: My radio shows the clock when car is On but nothing else work, can't even set the clock. My "spare" radios are Mostly Dead in various ways & not worth time/money for Miracle Max.
Turn Lights On won't Blink can be several problem & maybe 1 or more @ same time. Could be just bad flasher under dash above your legs. If replace, Do Not use the "clip" on plastic flashers. ⚠️ Warning: new flashers are often "electronic" & often works w/ other problems.
So still need to check bulbs &/or wiring... See https://web.archive.org/web...rocave/sneakpath.htm lightbulb & maybe other pages. Read my post in https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/147359.html too.------------------ Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

So the forward facing turn signal/marker light and the front side marker light make up a very interesting circuit.
They kind of "back feed" to each other when you have your turn signal on. Make sure all your bulbs are good. Are either of your turn signal indicator lights on the dash dimly glowing?

GM & others wired front fixtures that way so front markers will blink w/ turn light On whether or not the parking light are On. see first few pic's on https://web.archive.org/web...erocave/parkturn.htm
Side effect that dash arrow(s) light when front park/turn bulb has crap on it's ground.
