check bulb first, it may have two filaments hitting each other causing that. Please check out this guide to see what I am talking about.

I have seen the turn signal flasher go out and cause strange problems like this, here is the location so you can check it out, I would look for corrosion in the electrical connector as well. The flasher is on the backside of the instrument cluster. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes
