Hello. I''''ve been having a little bit of trouble with my 96 4x4 F-250 7.3 truck. Somebody pointed me in this direction and said you guys would probably be able to help, and I sure hope you are willing!

So.. whenever I engage the left hand turn signal, it will at the same time disengage the cruise control. Also when the left hand turn signal is used, i notice the engine will rev up very slightly as if to disengage the torque converter lockup. this happens even without the cruise control on. All of this happens when I use the left turn signal, not the right.

One other thing that has been happening has nothing to do with the turn signal. The fuel gauge has been reading incorrecly most of the time. Sometimes the needle jumps around a little bit, but most of the time it will be reading way higher then full. I have factory dual tanks, and the gauge first started doing it on the front tank about about a month ago. now for the past week or so the gauge acts up when its on the rear tank as well.

I hope I''''ve described my problem well, and haven''''t left out any vital info. I greatly appreciate any help. Thanks.
