Hi my name is johnny and currently im driving my 11th stang its a 96 gt with an 02 motor which is the same 2v basically . I swapped a 5 speed tremec into it with stage clutch ofcourse with 3.73 rear ,and long tube headers which excuse my language was a ****. Currently I am dealing with some weird electrical issues where the lights get brighter when the rpm's go up and when I put the car in reverse sometimes my radio will shut of and come right back on hell sometimes the light on the gauges will shut al the way off also my driver front signal keeps blowing and I replaced the flasher twice weirdest thing I think my pony is possessed
sorry about the progress prefix im new at this

You may start with checking the multi function switch (turn signal lever) and the actual dimmer/light switch. As far as the radio you may pull the wiring apart and see if there is a bad ground or bare positive wire.

would the switch make the bulb go out and make the green arrow blink fast and at some instances disappear ?

A bad switch can do a lot of weird things. I can't say I've ever heard of your particular scenario but these cars are in their 20's now and stuff starts to break.
