Need Help with wiring gremlins

Hey guys I have run into a few gremlins in this new rx7 project and need some input.

Things That do not work:
parking lights, dash lights, interior lights
Tach bounces all around......
No brake lights or turn signals out the rear.... They click but thats about it.
Help needed!

1.) Check all fuses
2.) Double-check every connector that you've removed, be sure you put it back together.
3.) Give us a LOT more info about what you've done to the car before it stopped working correctly.

yeah check the fuses and relays, don't forget the one under the air duct that covers the front section of the engine (part of the intake and intercooler)
Last time one of those relays was bad and it caused all sorts of problems

I got the car as a basket case... I have pulled the dash to fix some hacked wires and ended up swaping in another front harness.... Can anyone link me to a diagram with locations of relays and fuses to check. This car is complicated compared to other things I have worked on.
The turn signal thing baffles me.... No dome light either.

The yellow ones connect to the ECU, the small black one goes to a little black box thats in there somewhere, and the blue one goes to another blue connector. You pretty much match the colors. Just poke around and match the connectors. Im pretty sure all of them are different and only plug in to their male/female counterparts.
