with 4 way flashers on, stuff goes crazy??hep me
All the electrical stuff on this 86 works OK (except dash light dimmer) UNLESS I try to turn on the 4 way flashers. at that point if i hit the brake a front park light will come on- dash lights go out - and other assorted nightmares. The switch is JUST a switch inside the column right?? or is it one of those nightmare multi-task switches and it's prolly shorted out inside making the other things go nutty. ANYONE have this before, or as usual ,is it JUST ME

Re: with 4 way flashers on, stuff goes crazy??hep me
I HATE electrical problems with a PASSION!!! I honestly haven't had one do that before. I don't know if I should congratulate you or not. With how the turns are on these, I don't care to guess. I had one that the blinkers were going screwy on me and finally found that it had a bad ground in the rear harness. I am guessing a short too, but no clue where to check, but here is a wordy bump for ya!

Re: with 4 way flashers on, stuff goes crazy??hep me
I dont recall ever having to go after one of these or not(hazard switch) or at least not on a 84 -up where everything is inside the column. are they accessible?? I'm sure they must be buried under the turn signal switch.?? DAVE

Re: with 4 way flashers on, stuff goes crazy??hep me
OH the fun continues. the 4 ways work fine now but Oil pressure , fuel and temp gauge bury now when i pull the headlights on. Thought for sure that was a bad headlight switch but i changed it out for a good one and it does the same thing?????????????JUST ONCE i'd like to buy one of these trucks that hasn't got electrical problems. DAVE

Re: with 4 way flashers on, stuff goes crazy??hep me
found that problem too. the multi connector in the back of the cluster was not making good contact. even though i had checked it ten times as i was installing the cluster the bottom part was trying to pop out. all gauges work OK, but the OP gauge is going to need a sender(no surprise). it goes high then low back to hgh etc. DAVE
