89' Chevy S10 Tahoe Hazards/Blinkers/Dash Backlights Continually Flashing

Asked by KY_FOBBIT Feb 06, 2021 at 03:45 PM about the 1989 Chevrolet S-10 Tahoe LB RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have an 89' Chevy S10 Tahoe with the 4.3L and automatic
transmission. My battery died while I was at work the
other day and after getting a jump, everything started up
fine, but now my right turn signal on the dash is blinking,
my hazards flash when my lights aren't on, the backlights
for the Guage cluster flash, as well as the clock on the
radio. When I turn the lights on, the flashing stops, but the
clicking of the signal continues. This issue persists even
when the vehicle is turned off, and unhooking the battery
is the only way I've found to get it to stop. I replaced the
round flasher fuze under the driver's side already, and
haven't found any shorted wires. Does anyone have any
idea as to why this is happening? I can't find a solution on
Google or other forum posts.

Check the proper fuses in the fuse box. as you can see, ignition/gages and turn fuses goes hot with key on. So with key on and problem ongoing, use test light to check voltage at proper fuse, if test light is blinking, something wrong with fuse box or ignition switch has a problem. You may have to check feed to and from ignition switch, if you think that is the problem? that's how I would begin the diagnosis. Just my opinion. good luck
