I would probably try swapping the idiot cluster first since that's the easiest way to rule out it's not just crapping out like they do. You can resolder all of the connections in the cluster and usually get some additional life out of it.

It very well could be something else I dunno. Satch wake up.

No.

The turn signal and warning lights are two different issues, not related.
Has the steering wheel been removed lately?
Do all of the warning lights activate or just some of them?

The coolant, hatch and seatbelt warnings are probably either sensors or wiring issues.
The buzzard is aftermarket, so I don't know.

after I installed my clifford alarm system, my left turn signal will always stay on. So I went back to the shop and told him about it. After couple hours, the mechanic notififed me that the turn signal switch is bad. However, recently I bought a switch and swap them and it still wouldn't work.
this dosent resolve anything, ma bad, I'm in the process of finding out wth it is as well.

Turn Cancel sensor or perhaps the Turn Cancel unit in the switch.
