    black out lights ?

    The wires on my rear blackout lights are broken . My question , is do the red lights come on with the brakes and the single white light in the center just as a marker? I have never owned one that the lights work so I did not know what works with what on the back.

    Air cleaner not fitting right

    Check to make sure the bottom of the housing is indexed to the intake. There is a tab that indexes to a slot in the intake . Loose air cleaners can make alot of noise ,plus the risk of something sucking into the intake.

    Windshield wiper problem

    It sounds like you may have gotten ahold of a bad motor. Check to make sure the motor is grounded good to the firewall and make sure the wiper transmision moves freely with the motor unhooked from it. I also bypass the radio supressors from the motor.

    electrical oops

    The small gray wire is for the light bulb but it should't cause a batt drain if not hooked up.
