Question

Is your steering wheel stock?

There's a little contact ring thingy in there that could've gotten goobered up I suppose. Or possibly the harness got caught on something and pulled loose when the wheel turned....

Not usually if you have a stock wheel though....

i have the stock wheel noticed something weird

i checked the underhood fuse.... popped... so i replaced it

this is the horn/hazard fuse, so it tells me... it wasnt popped before mind you...

i replaced it, boom, 4 ways worked... horn NO... washed the car, with NO high pressure water anywhere, just a typical garden hose... now, the hazards are done for again... guess burning the car is probably a good idea now... plus, i have a pesky rattle, this stuff really bothers me...

Mark, I think you've got gremlins.

Seriously, you need to get underneath the steering column/dash and have a look around. I wouldn't recommend taking anything apart, but start looking around for any frayed or crimped wiring, evidence of shorts, etc. Burning up the fuse means something is wrong in the electrical delivery...finding it could be a real bitch though.

or like i had said before when alan moved your horn when installing the radiator haha he might not have covered a wire or something all the way and when it gets wet its shorting out.

yes radiators can add A hp. maybe minimal power if lucky only because it is keeping you cooler but i still doubt that.

carbon fiber hoods are not much less then the factory alluminum hood.

I thought in a previous post you said your car was stock? MAYBE you should leave it like that.

and dont forget stickers 10 hp for every sticker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
