Wiring Issues

I just purchased my first Volvo. 89 740 GL and I LOVE IT. I haven't had it for more then a week. It is in beautiful condition but I'm having some issues. I replaced a brake light that was out on the driver side as well as the front signal light. Now when the lights are off everything is great. Then I turn the lights on and the wipers go. then you signal left and the headlights flash. I don't know where to start, but I hope it might be something simple. Anyone Help! Thanks

I just solved my own problem. I'm an Idiot! If the bulbs are not properly screwed into position It's not grounded right. So thats why all the problems. So make sure everything is locked down.

Additionally, with cars that have a bulb-out indicator it is important to have the proper bulbs. The PO of my 240 had replaced some bulbs with brass base bulbs and put an incorrect bulb in the third brake light. Once those were replaced all was fine as well even though all bulbs were working before that.
