I have been following this thread and NO WHERE did it get mentioned that the wiring under the dash WAS NOT factory wiring. I, like zerepdivad, thought that this should have been a simple install. But, if all the information is not provided to work with...The experts here can only give it their best shot with available info and wiring diagrams. Since your car has been extremly modified under the dash, it's hard to understand what you have. I am not a pro at this stuff, but I too am baffled as to why it won't work for you. It is easy to screw up on the wires, I know from my own experience.

Are you getting any flashes from the parking lights?

I also find the expression "ghetto wiring" rather offensive.

reading the manual would be a great place to start seeing as how it tells you exactly what certain number of flashes means.
