Did you insulate the wire connections? did you use fat wire to join the other wires?

check the fuses cause on my brothers rx-4 every thing was fucked like the horn would go on when you put the brake on and the indercators would stay on and other fucked up shit like that so i checked and changed the fuses and used the propper sized fuses too and now the prick works fine.

haha ur rooted.
seriously, make sure u insulate the wires. u coulda have it shorting agaisnt the metal of the guard.

just piece it all back together (gotta be done) and make sure u insulate and solder them up instead of just twistin them together and leavin em like that

BAD EARTH!!!!!!, Check that you have a good earth wire to the body from the battery, also there is a couple of wires that connect to tan earth under the dash make sure they are connected properly,
