Left blinker works only when I manually engage it by click blinker up and down and dimmer won't work at all. Won't engage or click when you try to dimmer lights
Truck was starting. Then it got to the point that you had to turn ignition forward let off just a little and it would start. Now it does nothing. All lights on instrument panel are coming on and everything. But won't hit a lick.

Good afternoon,

It sounds like you need an ignition switch and the dimmer switch. they are at the bottom of the steering column.

I attached a picture for you to view. common failures for that issue in the old days.

I also think you need a turn signal switch as well since it does not work in the proper position.
