left turn signal stays on when lights are on; shorts?

98 DX
aftermarket headlights and tail lights :hung:

the wiring was horribly messed up when i got it and i have since tried to fix things.
my main problem: the left turn signal stays on when the headlights and/or DRLs are on.
during the day, when the left turn signal blinks, the dash lights blink opposite of it?
I put the car in reverse and the dash lights "turn on" as if it were nighttime.
Hazard lights will not flash they just stay lit up.
When i put a fuse in for *i dont remember; pass. side* the windshield wipers and sprayer started going off without any keys or anything in the car
the wiper switch needs to be between off and the first interval to actually be off, otherwise they would always be on.
I really need some help i cant drive at night with the whole left side of my car brighter than the other lol
i have replaced all the dual filament bulbs and all fuses
OH and maybe something to consider, the guy had a "locktronics" anti-theft system installed years ago; it's a system that i believe wires to the ignition switch and has a microchip key that plugs in to a module, if the microchip key isnt in that, the car wont start

-Thanks all

Two options: Trace every wire, follow a schematic, and properly wire car OR Go to a junkyard, and gut the vehicle wiring harness out of the junker and replace yours with it. Hate to say it, but vehicles with major wiring issues are almost as bad as totaled vehicles, at least in my book

thanks guys
I am going to remove the locktronics system this weekend and replace all lighting relays.
Today, i replaced the hazard switch sigh...
With no keys in the ignition, i pressed the hazard switch and power to the car and radio came on like the key was in start mode, you could have put it in gear and rolled it off no lie..
and the turn signals dont work at all now..
i just dont know anymore i think im gonna sell it for no less than a grand i have a CB accord project that needs to be finished anyways.
