ok. had that happen to me in a ford ranger.. turned out the bulb burned out an the filament droped an i think it was from the blinker to the running light so when the blinker was turned on it would backfeed to the dash lights.. so might wanna check your bulbs..

On my ram the left rear shorted out because the ground was loose and my whole car would flash when I turned on the turn signals ..

if all the lamps check out good, (it won't take but a few minutes to pull them out of the housings and check them out) the next thing i would look into replacing would be the turnsignal switch on the steering column.

Check for pinched wires about 8 inches from the turn signal switch down the steering column. a freind and I chased that same problem for a mounth on his 2500, the only diffrence is his was not a constant failure. just an idea

I bet you've got something jacked up in your multi-function switch. (turn signal switch)
If anything, you could leave it and surprise a lot of people.

Have seen this in my '04 3500. Issue was a short in the trailer plug where the right turn wire was corroded to ground about 10 inches into the tree.
