Signal lights

Well when I first got my truck the dash lights didn't work and the blinkers worked but really slow. This weekend I was going down the road and the dash lights started working and the blinkers stoped. Looking under the dash it seems to be in pretty good shape (no birdsnest) but what are some thing I could look for, I need to get it inspected.

Look for bad grounds, corroded connections, bad crimp joints, corroded bulb sockets.

If the blinkers were sssslllloooowwww, then I would start with a new blinker relay.

Your dash lights work off the headlight switch. If you rotate it, the lights dim and you can turn ON the interior light. My switch is a little rough and the dash lights only work in certain spots. If I turn on the interior lights, the dash goes out....just a bad spot. NO big deal.
