Need some help
06 1500 4x2 4.7 slt rclb
I have 3 things I need some help with that are going wrong on my truck. Any help is greatly appreciated!
1. When I signal left my right blinker signals. This is only sometimes, and if I slam down on the signal arm it fixes it lol. And sometimes it jumps from left signal to right signal as if there is a contact somewhere that is faulty?
2. When idling my tachometer will go up and down FAST and by about 3-400 rpm. I don't think the engine is actually changing speed because I would hear it. I notice it sometimes when driving at a constant speed to it will jump real fast. A sensor or something maybe? Throttle body is clean, new plugs, all that good stuff..
3. And lastly my wipers have a mind of there own. Sometimes they will just stop midway, sometimes they will go 3 strokes REALLY fast then go super slow lol no real consistency with this problem. I saw a thread about taking apart the motor and cleaning the contacts would this be the solution to something like that?
Again I appreciate any help you guys can offer.

This letter is to inform you that the warranty period (3 years or 36,000 miles) on your truck's turn signal multifunction switch has been extended to 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first. This extended turn signal multifunction switch warranty coverage applies to select model year 2006 1500 and Ram 2500 trucks.
We are extending the warranty period on your turn signal multifunction switch because of a potential manufacturing process variation that may cause the turn signal, both interior and exterior, to flash in the opposite direction from that selected by the operator. If your turn signal is operating properly, there is nothing you are required to do.
If you are experiencing the condition as described in this warranty extension (within the 10 year or 150,000 mile period), simply contact your dealer to schedule a service appointment.
NOTE: This extended turn signal multifunction switch warranty does not cover any other components.
Remember to bring this letter with you to your dealer. Please make sure to store this letter with your vehicle's other warranty information for future reference. The warranty extension applies to the above components only; the other terms and the "What's Not Covered" items of your warranty remain the same as stated in your Warranty Information book.
If you have already experienced this turn signal opposite illumination condition and have paid to have it repaired, you may be eligible to receive a reimbursement. You may complete the enclosed Customer Reimbursement Claim Form and send your original receipts, invoices and/or repair order to the following address for reimbursement, your claim will be acted upon within 60 days of receipt:
