Problems 2005 5.4L only 3500 miles

It has been to the dealer once already and they obviously did not fix the problem.

What does it mean (or what is causing) when the tow/haul light flashes continuously until the truck is turned off and restarted? That is the only way I can get the light to stop flashing. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Also, does anyone else's dash lights flicker when the turn signal is flashing? Mine does, especially the stereo lights. Any ideas?

I just want some other ideas before I take it to the dealer. I suck with electrical stuff and have no idea how to diagnose something like the tow/haul thing.

thanks

Good luck getting that fixed. The dealer better have someone that knows wires cause the factory got somethin wrong.

That is what I am afraid of. I just bought the truck in late August. With my luck I have bought a lemon.
