that seems pretty self explanitory i dont know how it could be messed up haha...but anyway, are the wires you switched the same colors as the ones in the pictures? because im going to guess that its more importent to follow the wire colors than it is to just switch '1 & 3'

dang i dont know man when i did that DIY on my 96 everything worked out perfect. Just make sure you switch those two wires around or else that would cause white turn signals! You dont plug the wires back into the same spot you took them out of, just makin sure you know that. Good luck and the only thing i could think of that your doing wrong is not switching spots with those two wires.
