Remove the driver-side kick panel and you'll see a black box. There are
three connectors on it - remove them and check them for water/condensation.
If there is, clean them with some contact cleaner and dry them. Put some
dielectric grease (very light coating) on the connectors and reinstall them.
This is the most common cause/problem but there are a few other
possibilities (Front control module is one other that can cause this)

Subject: DML: Blinker causes radio to go out and back on
I have a question for you all. This morning my truck wouldn't start 01 Quad
4.7. I jumped it, drove to work, and on the way to work, when ever I would
turn on the blinker, the radio would go off and then come back on. Truck
also wouldn't start back up once I got to work. Anyone ever hear of this
happening before and if so, what could be the problem?
My first thought was the battery, but the radio/blinker thing is making me
think it may be something much more expensive.
Thanks
