Check the switch on the brake pedal first, then if you have power to it and power goes out when pedal is pushed you probably have a broken wire under the chasis
Hazzards run off a flasher , try a new light switch and see if that helps .......there is also the chance the plug comming thru the firewall is loose . Not common but I have seen it do some simillar things
That's not the definition of a short. A short circuit blows fuses. You're not blowing fuses. An intermittent problem like this is usually caused by a corroded ground connection or corrosion in the electrical connector. Get a wiring diagram and locate the ground and power connectors and clean them
That can be repaired in the truck, contact a local Dodge dealer for a person that does dash pad restoration. Also body shops have these guys on speed dial.
Depends on how much experience you have with all the procedures involved. You will have to drain coolant and discharge the a/c system, remove the a/c accumulator and brackets from the front of the firewall, disconnect the heater hoses, remove the dashboard from inside the cab, then remove the heater/a/c box. Disassemble the box to remove the heater core, then put it all back together. If you're fortunate, and have a little help, maybe 12 hours.
a dimmer switch is just a variable resistor and that only passes current at various ratings ( more resistance the lower the light
similarly switches only make and break a circuit so your problem will be after a switch possibly a faulty relay or light control module
some dimmer switches have incorporated an "OFF" section where the light gets progressively dimmer until there is a definite click for off
If your switch has that option then at full resistance but not "off" position then there will be a current flow that will be less that what is required to show light but enough to drain a battery
some vehicles that used this option were older GM or Ford products where the light switch incorporated a dimmer switch as well
the pull to first position put on the dash lights and twisting the knob gave various degrees of brightness in the dash
a further pull turned on the head lights

Hi Collin:
You've asked a question, but not mentioned the problem.
If the handle brokr off and the blade slid down, the question should be, "How can I get the blade out?.
If that's not the problem, I'm not going to tell, and I'm not going to go and measure the dipstick in my old truck.
