Exclamation Interior Lights/Door light issue

So I traded my N/a FC for a TII, I have had the car for about three days and got the car running pretty well, I need to replace a couple of mounts. Besides the mounts i have one issue that is driving me nuts. When I
A) Open the door or
B) Turn on ANY interior lights front or the rear one
My windshield wiper fluid light comes on, i have been staring at two wiring diagrams i got off of WIRING DIAGRAMS (87 rx7 body ones) but i cant seem to track down the reservoir wiring or the lights. Am i missing a diagram?

I've tried to follow the blue/red wire leading to light down under the dash with no luck (so far) but i would like to know what the wires for that light on the dash is. Another thing is when i open the door or click on the cab lights i get a SUPER dim light like a dead AAA battery in a flash light. I have a short video of what is does I shot this video not giving a hoot about grammar, just getting the point across.

(also my door light doesnt go off, mentioned this in the video)



^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

To begin with, most of all the idiot lights should illuminate w/key to on and engine off.

Resoldering the rear of the unit should be of first order. Once you can get the idiot cluster back to square one then it would be best to figure out your problem.

Re-soldered all of this unit and nothing changed... this is he 3rd one i have done and the clock still doesnt work... which i really dont care about. I turn the key the same ones still come on. There has been alot done to the wiring of this car, if i took some pictures there are things that were taped together with OD Green duct tape...
