'89, 4.0, AW4, 110K. Today, a strange thing started happening. I noticed when I have my turn signal on, the dash clock backlight would turn off and on, in opposite to the signal light. As in, when signal light on, clock off and vice versa. The turn signals are lighting up on all four corners, and flashing at the normal rate.
Also noticed the clock backlight turning off when I'd hit the brakes - backlight would come on when I let off the brakes. When the brakes would "cause" the clock to turn off, I could hear a distinct click sound from somewhere near the pedals when pushing the pushing the brake pedal down. No click sound if the clock was unaffected. Brake lights also functioning normally.
Didn't happen every time during my trips today, maybe half of the turn signal/brake uses would cause the clock light to go off and on. Volt gauge stayed at a steady 13 or so. No issues with radio or fan, and no change in how the engine runs.
Any ideas on where to start looking for the issue?
