Most recent issue - Running lights
I finally got lightbulbs in all of my lights, all my blinkers work, and then some, which is my problem.
Left side blinking makes front and rear turn signals blink, and tail light, both side markers remain constant.
Right side blinking makes both side markers, tail light, and both turn signals blink in unison, at a normal rate. I replaced both rear markers with same light bulbs today, so it's not the bulbs. I can't find any strange wiring in the hatch except the power wires for the nonexistent wiper motor and hatch release motor.
Ideas and thoughts on this dilemma, if it is one?

Sounds like you right side markers are gounding through your turns, or vice versa... turns grounding through markers..
Are the OK when turns are on without markers, and markers without turns? Velly Intelesting

I can turn on running lights and all are on normally, constant.
It only happens with the right turn signal, no matter if running lights are on or off, they begin to blink in unison. Luckily the headlight doesn't, nor does fog
On a side note, your throttle cam is in the mail as of this morning, should be there in a few days, it's in a CD sized box.

About that... I live in Iowa, where even a 944 is rare. The other Porsche I see often is dad's 928S, and rarely, a 911 or 944 that's drivin' around. I don't think I'd have luck finding one around here for sale. That said, can't afford that money pit either, until my enlistment bonus comes in, and I leave in a month or so anyway for basic. So... Is the whole right side supposed to blink?

Update: Entire right side is no longer blinking whatsoever. Lights run normally with others, but turn signal does nothing, even the indicator doesn't blink, and there is no clicking noise. Left turn works just fine.
