I just read a thread from all the way back in 2003 that speaks on the same exact problem I am having now!!! I have been having the issue for a minute now; but seeing as though I am not in the position (financially) to take my truck to the dealership everytime something goes wrong with it, I guess I waited too long and now its biting me in the butt! I was having the issue with the left blinker, the smoke from where the 4-way flashers are turned on, all that... yesterday, it started smoking for no reason! No turn signal, no radio on, no air conditioning on... nothing! I freaked!! My children were in the car!!! I got home and parked it as fast as possible! I refused to drive it ANYWHERE else except to the dealership! I took it there first thing this morning, but due to them not knowing exactly what's going on (because there is currently no recall for anything electrical with the 2000's), I don't know what they're gonna tell me... Has anyone ever got a definitive answer on what is going on with this, or how much something like this is gonna possibly "break" me for???
