Check and make sure you have 12v there with the blinkers on, in addition to a good ground. You'll have to tap into the wires coming out of the column for the turn signals, then run them into the door, and out the mirror mount (probably easier feeding them thru the mirror mount first, backwards). For running lights you can just tap into the output from the switch.
EDIT: Nevermind - I see you've got it figured out.

and there is more the second positive wire that powers the other blue leds in the mirror only works on the driver side control which is cool and all but when the directional isnt going it stays on like the drivers side maybe my drivers side directional is grounding or somthing?

Whoa wait,chevy astro van shafts? dont they have ragjoints too? imma google this!
Speaking of astro vans i know some of them had carbonfiber leafsprings,which weighs nothing compared to the stock ones. i remember someone telling me they fit. Im not sure though id love to have em though if they work.

Don't pay attention to the horn bull****, none of our trucks have the horn grounded through the steering shaft.
And as for the fiberglass springs, here's what years they came, don't know the length though:
ASTRO 90-92 fiberglass
ASTRO 93-94
ASTRO 95 fiberglass
SAFARI (GMC) 90-92 fiberglass
SAFARI (GMC) 93-94
SAFARI (GMC) 95 fiberglass
ASTRO 85-87
ASTRO 88-89 fiberglass
SAFARI (GMC) 85-87
SAFARI (GMC) 88-89 fiberglass

I looked over it,im a little tipsy so i bookmarked it for tomorrow. One thing i noticed is why the heck is the horn grounded through to horn?
*through the shaft. see? beer is a bad thing for typing.

Are these power mirrors too? If so that would explain the second wire.
I started it this morning, to let it warm up, heard a tick tick tick tick tick for literally 2 seconds and then it went quiet as can be (like it always is) this is the second time of it doing this when its cold, But it did not do it yesterday morning and it was colder than today.. hmmmmm.. another thing for me to worry about, even though after googling, I should not worry as long as it goes away. but I hate noises..
and that is what I did today, worried.

Sounds like you either tied into a constant 12v source instead of the turn signal ... or if I understand this right, your saying the light goes out when you turn the signal on ...but when you turn it off they light up? If so that is a classic ground issue. You probably need to ground it to something other than the door. The hinges or the wire itself might not be making a good ground. I'd go right inside the cab or straight to the frame.

in guess thats possible
and no im saying wen i hook the driver side up they stay on all the time even wen the directional is on and they barely flash wen its activated (but only driver side....)
and ive tested the ground several times yesterday so im positive its not the ground i tested just about everything possible yesterday and came up with zero solutions....
also no led only no power
