I was having problems with my blinker [even after changing the blinker fluid
twice].  Contact cleaner, many on-off cycles, new blinker made no difference
and was returned. Nothing worked, but after all of the efforts - and finally
giving up for a time - it just stopped the malfunction [blinker constantly
on].  Don't know if that sort of delayed reaction is common, but after you
have done all the stuff that should work a couple of times perhaps just
giving it a rest would help?  For my SD, bad habits seem hard to break.

You messed with the hazard switch, and the instrument lamp dimmer.  Both are
cranky old farts, and are now punishing you.
Mess with them some more until they remember what they are for.

No.
