Default Strange error on b230k

After about a year of driving with the manual choke about an inch pulled out i have now found out what the problem was.
First: my 240dl from 87 hesitates on the 3d gear (automatic), poor performance and seems to be running on 3 cylinders at times.
if i pull out the manual choke a bit it runs just fine. (i have adjusted the choke throttle 'puller'thingy so that it only affects the air intake the first inch, wich seems to be enough to get the car running as supposed to)

Anywho, after cleaning the carb, replacing spark plug leads dizzy cap rotor and a bunch of other things i yesterday noticed that my turnsignal wasnt working. A fuse had blown, a 25amp where its supposed to be a 16. altho the car ran fine, i replaced the fuse and ofcourse: the car started to run badly.
Removed the fuse (for turn lights, heated seats, solenoid valve for the overdrive) and the car ran just fine.

On the bunch of cables (sorry, swedish so not sure what its called) that runs along the firewall and through that towards the steering there is 2 cables that the insulation has come off, so the bare copper is exposed.
One blue/red and one green-ish (if im not mistaken)

Blue/red is also the color of the cable that runs to the fuse, so i have now ripped of the fuse, and pulled a new powercable to the blinker-relay so i have my turn signals.

But is there anywone that had a problem with the main cables and how the heck to i replace 1 or 2 cables?

ill post again with a nice lil picture and to answer any questions.

My guess is: the cable for the turn signals is in contact with a cable that goes to the bendix rex ignition system and causing a malfunction in the box. but ill find out more bout that when i start ripping it apart :P
