Parking Light Issue

I purchased an 2006 RX-8 in January. It has the Metra Dash kit.

This week I pulled the head unit to run a cable back to a subwoofer I was installing. When I put the center console back together, I found that when I turn on the headlights, the left turn indicator on the instrument cluster comes on and stays on (no blinking). When I visually inspected the lights around the car, I found that the amber parking lights along the driver's side of the car were not on. I found that they would come on when indicator a left turn or when turning on the hazard lights, but not when turning on the head lights or parking lights.

Does anyone know what wires in the center console I should take a look at that I may have pinched?

Slight correction:

When I turn on the left turn signal, the amber lights in the headlight cluster, on the left (driver's) fender, and in the tail light cluster all blink together.

When I turn on the right turn signal, the amber lights in the headlight cluster, on the right (passenger) fender, and in the tail light cluster PLUS the amber light on the left (driver's) side AND the red light at the far left of the left (driver's) tail light cluster all blink together.

I did notice that some of the wires that run behind the radio area had apparently been nicked and repaired during the installation of the dash kit. Any hints on which to look at would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I paid the $300 dealership to sort out the wiring that the original owner messed up. (I am the third owner.) If I could have posted directly in the Series I Tech forum, perhaps I could have actually gotten some answers and saved some money.
