Blinker sound and clock dimming over and over
96 tacoma 3.4L
My truck started making a beeping sound like the blinker does, but the blinker isn't on and the clock dims like i'm turning my lights on and off. It will beep sometimes for a minute, other times for a second.
EDIT: The corner lights light up in tune with the beeping, along with the brake lights and the light that shines on the license plate.
If this isn't the right section lemme know, and i'll post it in the correct section. Thanks!
The blinking and beeping continue even with the key removed.

Something to do with the headlight switch or a bad relay or the hazards and clock wiring doing something it's not supposed to (next to each other on my 4Runner, dunno if yours is the same)? The only thing I know about electrical stuff is that I don't know about electrical stuff.
Consider this a bump.

So I pulled an in-line fuse under the dash and the ticking and blinking stopped but I lost the instrument cluster light. Everything still worked, just no back light.

So the clock and markers are working correctly but the back light's not?

Correct. I haven't done anything at all and now the backlight is working again.This whole thing has me and all my friends confused.
I forgot to mention the flashing and beeping will happen even with the key removed.

I have a Viper alarm. I have a little tab that I swipe so I can start it. I have no info on it tho.
What would you suggest my next move would be?
EDIT: I feel stupid now, the back light was just the little knob turned all the way down...
