its not while driving. Unfortunately when it sits for a few days it will drain battery if I don’t start it up. I’m trying for the time being to keep it from going dead. That’s why I was wondering if there’s a certain fuse I can pull for the time being to get rid of the blinker staying stuck on the dash. Stays on when trucks off 24/7. If not, until I can get it to a shop, I’ll keep it in rotation and drive it locally if need be to keep battery charged.

I had a similar issue some years ago, with a newer GMC 3/4 ton. The camper special wiring harness, between the cab and box, had slipped its zip tie and fell down on the hot exhaust , grounding out a circuit, letting the light come on.

which is why I said disconnect the battery when you're not using it.
Yes, that means you have to reconnect it before going for a drive.

Check your manual for fuse locations. Probably both under hood and bottom of dash by your knees. Pull anything related to lights until you find the correct one.
