Turn Signal problems

My turn signals will not work with the engine running. With the engine off they will. With the engine running if I move the ignition like I am going to turn it off they work.. any Ideas is it the ignition switch or ign cylinder

After you start it, wiggle the keyswitch to help seat it. This is a common problem with those trucks. If you put a new ignition switch on the column underneat the dash and wd40 the upper portion where the key goes in, it usually fixes it.

New turn signal switch and ignition switch fixed my issues.
