Left blinker stalk, inside ring moves to full on, high or down very low.

Did you check ALL the fuses? Mine go out if I've got a trailer wiring issue when I tow, and IIRC there is more than one fuse in the manual as being cluster lights.

i checked two of the fuses that said they had to do with the instument cluster in the manual. i think it was #13 and #34. any other numbers come to mind havin to do with the cluster? Maybe a wire came loose?

Check #9, especially if you've towed a lighted trailer.

About time I was actually able to contribute something here. Now you should have your trailer wiring looked at: something shorted to ground that wasn't supposed to. :lol:

Actually I had the same thing with a trailer the bloody 10am fuses blow quick, went to 15, (I know I know)
and no problem since. You would think it would have stronger fuses for trailer wiring.
