crazy instrument cluster and blinkers!

[p.exeter_bleu]

ok when i signal to turn right both blinkers come on, so it looks like hazards, the left signal is fine and works the way its supposed to but the right one acts crazy. also the instrument cluster blinks when im driving at night unless i put the dimmer in a certain position. i am totally clueless on where to begin or what it could be, any help is appreciated.

Don't know about the blinkers, but sounds like your instrument light dimmer rheostat needs replaced. They get hot spots and don't work right.

how much would that cost, are they available at parts stores? easy to install? thanks for the response

I think only from Ford or junk yard. Got my replacement from JY for $15.

YMMV, Don

One addition to Don's wise thinking: try running the rheostat up and down many times. They get 'static' in their movements, which can cause issues.

LRS should sell them if you need new. Good luck.
