Vehicle appears to be possessed.
These things can be maddening to track down. Do you know of a good one?

I trust Jason as K&M Automotive or Tinh at Highland Car Care. True mechanics, not just part changers.

If its foreign then C&R on Burbank. Weird electrical problems could be your battery connections. Make sure they are clean and tight. Or it could be the alternator or the connections to it. Check for unusual dust on the alt. If so then it is going bad. Make sure connections to it a secure.

2013 Dodge grand Caravan. Head light flashes instead of blinker light when turn signal is used. When headlights are on turn signals won't work. Stuff like that. You know, demonic

The dimmer switch, turn signals,wipers,probably operate with same lever right? You don't need a genius to figure out this problem.

Take my word for it and bring it to a Dodge dealer to fix something like that.

Take t to Dupre's on Florida at oneal and the central thruway. He is a wiz at electronics on vehicles. I'm a mechanic and everry electrical problem I get goes to him. Never had one that he didn't fix.

Probably need to change out the switch stick on your wheel. Few electrical hookups shouldn't cost over 40$. YouTube it. And diy. Don't take it to a dealer! You will get robbed and they still won't fix it. They aren't mechanics they just have fancy computers.

Have you checked for a bad fuse or relay? I can remember a dirty ground caused a fuse to blow on my grandmothers Cadillac which resulted in all kinds of weird behavior. The door chime wouldn't shut off, the digital dash went black, except for the hazard signals which blinked endlessly, and all sorts of other nutty behavior. Took me a few days to figure that one out.

I would stay away from GM and Dodge. If you want to buy american you would be wise to stick with Ford. They've turned their reputation around in the last decade or so.
