Sounds good! Johnsonville? I'm only going to Springfield, OH this weekend. I wish you lived closer to a highway, I'd offer to buy you a fancy truckstop dinner sometime.

New switch with a straight shaft and still the samething. I'm at a complete lose. I don't know what else to do. Tested the pins they are all good. It's almost like the switch insides don't line up when you pull to engage just the park lights

If you test the switch OUT of the truck, do you get the same behavior?

What do you mean? I did notice something new is that when using my left turn signal, left one only, it flashes slow and when the flash indicator light is off the overhead console flashes. So it goes light this: left turn signal on, overhead console off, left turn off, overhead on. If that makes sense

Yes, I'd look for a bad ground.
