Okay. Problem started - when I went to take a right turn. Hit the multiswitch like every time, blinked once, stopped blinking. Pulled over. Tried the hazards; blinked once, stopped blinking. Replaced the hazard fuse, hazards work fine, no turn signals.
Sounds like a flasher, right? Except my idiot lights, fuel guage, and temp guage went out at the same time, and come back online when the blinkers do. (note - my guage lights, the actual let-me-see-my-damn-guages lights, have only worked intermittently since I bought the truck, and seem to be a separate problem)
If I turn the ignition on, hit reverse (manual transmission), and turn the lights on (headlights or parking lights), the turn signals & guages work, whether the truck is running or not.
If I turn the headlights on, no matter what, my backup lights come on with the taillights.
If I hit the brake, with no lights on, the front corner lights, tail lights, and backup lights turn on.
The blinkers & guages also work with the truck off, if it is in reverse, and the brake pedal is down.
This feels like one of those damn math word problems. I'm spending the rest of my night studying wiring diagrams, frustrated.
