Oh myyyyy GAHHHD. I love you. (Sorry). Just found the GREAT PICS!!!!! Now, how to use that information to figure out why my turn signals are all messed up! Thank you very very much.

I'm looking at the 96 manual, 97 should be the same. Your screenshot appears to be from the 98 FSM. 98 saw quite a few changes like the computerized instrument cluster. In any case the basic circuitry is the same just some different numbering.

Wow, I am stupid once again. I got the FSM from another "RAM" forum and was told it was for the 97. But I now see that it's for a 2001!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Time to go find a FSM for a 97! Do you have a link to one by chance?

So.
With all of my new found knowledge and understanding - I'm still at a loss as to why my REAR turn signals are screwed up when the brakes or headlights are on or when in reverse.
I know I'm getting power to all bulbs, so that - I believe - tells me all the POS wires are good. It may also tell me that my NEG wires are good, but, not sure. The problem seems to be that bulbs are lighting up when they're not supposed to, or are off when supposed to be on.
Does this point me back to the turn signal/multi-function switch on the steering column???
Thank you all for your help and patience.
