it was a fuse, i was just looking at the wrong fuse last night i guess...i had someone install a cd player for me and im pretty sure they messed with the wrong wires b/c every time i turned my lights on, the fuse would blow,and i unhooked the cd player and its fine now.i knew i should have done the cd player myself.
i just got the car like 2 weeks ago and i've been driving a mitsubishi for 4 years and NOTHING ever went wrong w/ it, at all...so i was pissed.
but thanks for the help.
