2006 Dodge Ram 1500 complaints

THE PROBLEM STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO, BUT I THOUGHT IT HAD CORRECTED ITSELF. THE PAST FEW WEEKS IT HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM AND WILL NOT STOP. WHEN TURNING THE WIPERS ON MIST, THEY DO NOT WORK. I HAVE TO SWITCH IT TO THE NEXT SETTING TO MAKE THEM MOVE. THE BLINKERS ARE EITHER WORKING INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL. WHEN TURNING LEFT, THE RIGHT ONE COMES ONE, BOTH FLASH AND STOP OR IT WILL SWITCH FROM ONE TO THE OTHER. THE SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN TURNING RIGHT. TURNING ON THE BRIGHTS DOES NOT WORK EITHER. IT MAKES THE WASHER FLUID AND WIPERS WORK. *TR

THIS IS DEFINITELY A DANGEROUS AND FROM WHAT I'VE READ, FAR TO COMMON A PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB. MY A/C, HEAT, OR DEFROST HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY SINCE I BOUGHT IT USED IN 2008.
