My speedo , Tach , amp and temp gauges ,brake and air bag light all quit working at same time. Oil pressure and fuel gauge still work .

A month or so ago I was leaving my brothers house when i noticed that my ABS airbag and brake were lit on the dash. I stopped and restarted the engine and the lights went away. Had that happen a couple more times when i noticed that the ignition switch was not returning all the way after starting. The switch had also been stiff to turn a few times. Figured my stater switch was giving out. I broke out my new key thats been hanging on the wall since i bought the truck and that issue went a way. So figured the old key might have been the cause. I could even remove that old key with the engine running, it was pretty worn after 14 years of use. I have not had those troubles on since. But I have notced that the switch will still rotate slightly from the run position towards the start position, maybe a quarter inch or so. Is there any way to test the starter switch to see if it is bad? 2 or 3 days ago I noticed that my turn signals did not come on when switched on. I had to turn them once or twice for the to work. This morning they just quit working. The head lights, tail lights, and parking lights are working just fine. The wipers are functioning fine too. the 4 way flashers are also working. I am thinking the flasher for the signals is just bad and will check that when I have time. If not is there any way to determine if the multi function switch is bad?

Hey everyone, New member here but long time reader, I recently bought another dually (lucky number 3) to replace my 2000 24v. Sorry in advance for the long post, just want to give all info Amazing truck and very well built, however.... i bought it and the abs module was unplugged, never really considered this a problem ( not a fan of abs) but im sure you all know that the speedodoesnt work without it and is a requirement for certification in Ontario. So i plugg the moduleback in, everything is fine...until it isnt, the truck began to stutter at various rpm (changed ECT Sensor) once i did that the "Stutter" was only in 6th gear at 2100rpm (had a comp box and a CAT 95gph LP at the time) Unplug the Module and everything is right as rain and has excellent power. Decided to switch over to a fass (in case of contamination) and also switched to the Juice w/Attitude ( just a personal preference... i love the dummy settings because im a dummy) Changed the MAP at this point because i had no electronic reading for boost. Plugged back in at this point and test drove it for about 5 minutes before the issue came back. I am stumped on this one gentlemen, I sure hope someone has encountered this issue before. Thank you in advanced.

Does anyone know where to get in-dash gauge clusters (or backings) that come in non-stock colors? For example: If you bought a set of Autometer Cobalt gauges for your pillar, and wanted to change the color of your speedo, tach, fuel level, engine temp, oil pressure, etc..., to a deep blue to match the Cobalts, how/where would you go to do it? I've looked a bit, but have found next to nothing except replacement stock dash panels. Sam
