turns out the fuse/short/ground prob was caused by an exposed wire that would only ground when moving at higher speeds...they said they did a visual check though in the last couple of days so i guess they missed it
finally have my car back just gotta take it back real quick to get the turn signals fixed which they fucked up in the process of fixing the wire to the parking light (clear corner...the wire that was exposed), but at least its fixed, turn signal will be fixed tommorrow
just wish they didnt overlook that wire the last two days they did visual checks on it
