    At all.  When switching my car to the mono-wiper deal early last year, I
probably messed something up, but I don't know what.

    Like the lights stay on all the time, and if I put the car into reverse and
take my key out of the ignition, the car will keep running because the fuel pump
stays on while in reverse...AFAIK, even if the car was off and the pump was not on,
the lights would still stay on, but I can't remember now...

    The MFA shows only clock.  My battery is from a Diesel Jetta or something like
that.  This problem occurred after I got my new alarm put in, but I didn't notice
until a couple weeks after the fact cuz I've got the car in the garage and don't
drive it too much.

    It was AFU and didn't work at all at one point, but now I have it set up so
that it doesn't stay lit when the headlights are on, but it blinks fast and weakly
(i.e. not so bright) when using turn signal function.

    Ah-hah!  That's the name I was looking for.

    Now that the dashboard is completely removed,  I can safely say that there is
no water leakage to speak of near the fusebox.  All is dry...but has anyone taken
any precautionary measures to ensure that if a leak does start, it will not harm
any of my precious wires?

    Oh yeah, and to TBerk, I've already started writing down all of the wire groups
on different coloured electrical tape and keeping them all stuck together.  I'm
gonna pick me up a multimeter tomorrow...and go to town on this bad boy.  Thanks to
all of you for your assistance.
