    Currently my daily driver is a 89 Pickup 22r 4sp all stock 84000 miles.

    Today I noticed that when I hit my brakes my flasher lights and dash lights light up but dim and also my reverse lights are not working. I checked all fuses and relays under the hood..did a relay swap still not working...My second guess would be a ground as if it is back feeding.

    Before this happened I had my emergency flashers on for about 30 minutes. The flashers are working still.. but the turn signals speed up as I hit my break Pedal.

    Any ideas?
