So I accidentally cut part of the wiring harness on my 95 240 that controls the following as it ran through near the center console:
1) Turn signals
2) Orange of front headlights, Rear lamps, Guage illumination
3) I believe the power antenna
4) Might have been to stock stereo
5) Maybe something else I'm missing...

The previous harness was already jacked up, and I fixed the rear lamps and orange lamps by replacing the corresponding fuse in the fuse box. Prior to doing this I could connect a wire that was cut by the previous owner to a 12v source and they would light up, making me think that I had cut that wire, but I didn't and it ended up just being a fuse. Whats also odd is that as soon as I'd touch that wire the clock light would turn off, and when I removed it the clock light would go on. Same thing with my power antenna (Which never worked). Like power could only flow through to one circuit at a time leaving the other one (clock) powerless.

Now for another oddity - The fuse that I replaced is also for the guage illumination which does not go on. Only the clcok does. It's (I don't believe)
not possible for all of the other bulbs to have somehow burrned out from what happened, and the clock light I believe is not controlled by this fuse either.

(All other fuses checked and good)

My turn signals also do not work. My hazards work, I have removed my dash and most from the interior and taken out the center console, my hazard button isn't stuck or anything.
I checked my flasher (the piece inside the yellow housing above the clutch) and it supplies 12 volts.

My turn signal icons do not appear on the guage cluster when I signal(as all other icons do work).

So I have my wiring harness fully exposed and I want to hear some suggestions.

The wires for the blinkers do run right out from the steering column area correct? And does anyone know what colors these are for, for Left and Right.

While I'm at it, does anyone know what color controls the power antenna?
My car has never beeped when I open the door with my lights on, as warning... And just because I like things being the way they were made does anyone have any suggestions on where I can locate this control whether it being a sensor and wires or what.

Thanks for reading my long ass post.
