Check power at the brake switch under the dash. Clean the rear wiring harness connection. Check the ground instrument cluster. It could also be a bad fuse.

any ideas which fuse it is?? and also what are the chances of the blinker switch going bad? and where is the ground for the instrument panel lol sorry about all the questions.... but im stumped i got all the lights on my 84 shortbed to work but this one is more of a pain for some reason

Anyone have any ideas?? how can i check the blinker switch? do i have to remove the steeringwheel and what not? any info would be great

Check all your fuses first of all.
Do you have a multi-meter?

I would take a look at the turn signal switch, too. I was having trouble with the brake lights on my '79, and the terminal in the turn signal switch had backed out, and wasn't making a good connection. I pulled the truck half apart first, though.
