To start the front signals are three wire signals which allows them to be running lights. Make sure each signal in the front has three wires attached to them. The rear signals are not running lights so they only have two wires on them. Do a good check on all the wires and make sure there are no shorts and that they are all hooked up as well. If the wires are all good then check and make sure you have the correct bulbs, Front signals require a dual filament bulb, and the rear requires a single filament.My Buddy's F3 had the wrong bulbs and it threw it all out of whack.

if you still have problems after this check back in with updated symptoms.

Also, isn't the running light voltage on a separate fuse? Check that out.

I check the fuse. It is good. The problem I think is i tried to install a H.I.D and the it might of short something in the wiring. I check the current on both sides. The left side has a positive pulse and then when the turn signal is activated it sends a negative and positive pulse which makes it blink. The right side has a negative pulse which does not allow the light stay on. but when i put the signal on it does blink . So i have no idea what is wrong with it. Could i have fried a wire?

Eh. That's easy to check. Just do a continuity test from one end to the other. Check your grounds as well. You could very well have just knocked something lose.
