Default Electrical Gremlins! Help!

Hey fellow Dodge folks. Great forum! My 2000 Ram has been doing some weird
stuff lately. Before I break out the multimeter and start hunting maybe some-
one out there has experienced this or has some feedback for me. I put rt signal on and the indicator on the dash just glows as if you have a bad bulb.
So I put on the left and it works fine. Then I put on the 4 ways and they
work fine. I turn the headlight switch on & off and then I try the rt signal
again and it works fine! This has happened a couple of times recently! Wait it gets better! Today I put the rt signal on and the time on the clock display on the cassette player/radio flashes to the same cadence as the
signal flasher! Anyone got a gremlin gun?
Thanks in advance for
all help.

You have a bad ground somewhere. Flasher is probably going bad as well.

My first thought is ground. Pull knee panel off from below steering column and look for any damaged wires in there. Next thought is multifunction switch.

You can find a service manual to download in the FAQ/DIY section. Has electrical schematics there. That will help also.
