Mentally retrace everything you did. There has to be something that is out of place. Electrical is such a hands on repair it's near impossible to fix via BBS.

Just found our that backup lights and side view mirror motors don't work. All seem to be one fuse but fuse seems ok.
The radio was a PITA to get in I am dreading if I have to pull it out again. It was hard to fit it in with all the wires back there.

Hrm, that many things failing, all on one fuse. Did you remove any bolts inside the dash or unhook any ground wires? Sounds like a bad ground.
I hear you on the radio, I have wires sticking out everywhere.

I had to seriously shorten all the wires behind my radio install. Even reached behind the console from the drivers side and helped the wires as I pushed the unit in.
This seems like the most likely place where you may have dislodged other wiring.
Don't trust the open buss fuses. Pull it out and give it a good once over.

I would tend to agree with you. That is the part I am dreading. Taking radio out again. Took fuse out and it looked good so I replaced it anyway. Still nothing. I am wondering If the turn signal is linked to the emergency flasher switch, although since backup lights and mirros not working I would think that this is not the problem.

Fuse 9 is for the turn signals and the back up lights.
Fuse 8 is for the electric mirrors. Check the console mounted selector switch. This tends to corrode. Switch it back and forth while holding the direction control over.

I don't get this as you said you turn key on put the signal on it lights up but doesn't blink? When you put the signal on the signals outside the car light up right? No mirrors or back-up lights either? OHHHHHH NOOOOOO! If you give me the year and model I could print the wiring diagram for each of the componets. Duh 84 944 I think I have the diagrams here for that one.
