I'm not fimlar with the Magnum s . But perhaps try resetting the cpu , or disconnecting and resetting the battery and check your fuses that connect to your wire harness and then go from there. If it still happening and u can't do ur own , try to take it a local trusted shop .

The headlight switch is tied to all of the dash lights, the dealer will tell you it's the wiring hornes but it's not, plugged in a new switch and all the flashing went away.
