im losing my freaking mind...

I have a 1993 s10 blazer with 4.3 liter CPI and I was trying to fix my driver side turn signal light AMD in the process of replacing the pigtail for the headlight . The pigtail I got was a three wire but my original pigtail had two wires coming from each conecter making it a six wire. But I thought it wouldn't matter splicing the wires into the three wire since they are all going to the same place.

Now I made sure the wires were all going to the right place and didn't cross any wires. Headlight works but when I tried fixing the turn signals more problems came up. Now when I turn the key on and put a turn signal on, all the idiot lights and four wheel drive indicator flash and will keep ticking even when the turn signal is off. Only way it stops is when the headlight is on...its coming.from a relay on the firewall but Idk if it.means it went bad or.something.

I tried looking for a six wire connecter but it seems non existant.I'm really getting frustrated with this since it seemed like a simple problem got complicated.. I need to fix it soon before inspection and I kinda need the blazer since its my daily driver. Any help is appreciated to prevent me from selling it and wasting money on another vehicle just cause something isn't working right..

I'm thinking that it possibly can be a bad ground. Will update soon..

It was all just a crap load of corrosion on the battery

That is a common problem on the s10.

It became such an issue on my dad's old '85 S10, that we just started cleaning the battery connections every time we did an oil change. Hot water and baking soda cleanse if it was corroded, dry it, then a light, very light coating of die electric grease.

I'm not sure what causes it... but it would make us batty trying to figure it out, cuz it would cause all sorts of freaky issues. It got to the point when anything remotely electrical was wrong, that was in the top 3 of things to check... 'are the cables corroded again?'

We haven't had any issue with it yet on the 2003 S10.
