Default Weird problems with power window wiring.

So my 86 came factory with manual windows and i wanted to convert them to power. I bought the OEM window harness and added power door locks as well. I also soldered the power wire for the windows into the factory designated power window fuse position, in the fuse box under the dash. Everything was working fine for a while, but now the windows dont work. For some reason when i hit either switch, the battery light comes on and a relay under the dash clicks. Also sometimes the choke light comes on as well when the button is pressed.

Not sure how the windows are interfering with the choke, as i have it connected into the window fuse in the box. Also, if i connect the power wire for the window harness directly to 12 volts, the windows work fine. Not sure whats going as everything was working great.
