Turn signal shorts entire electrical system!

Posted this in the T100 sub-forum, but it doesn't get much traffic:

Just a couple of days ago my truck started some weirdness. Using the turn signal sometimes causes all lights to blink, the radio presets to zero out and the engine to falter. Any ideas what to look for?

Wow, that's one for the books, there!
I'll be interested to learn what the fix is, although I'm sure it has to do with the
wiring in the steering column - ignition switch, turn signal , horn, etc, they
all string through there. don't they?
But - why aren't fuses/c. breakers kicking out....
Best of luck on this one.
Stay the course. There are very good guys on here
