Check every battery connection. That's all the cables and connections to starter, alternator,engine block, etc. Have alternator checked it may be failing when it hits that particular RPM

I'm guessing from what you're saying is the turn signals don't always work when needed. The most likely cause is the multifunction switch.

start by checking your fuses making sure that you dont have any blown fuse.pull the door panel off so you can get to the wires to check for a power and a ground your switch should send a power meaning if it sends a power that at the motor you will have a ground and not any power until you hit the switch this is how most systems are.opposite would be the switch sends a ground wich means you will have power at the motor all the time .test all of this with your key on if you have your power and grounds replace the motor some sytems reverse the poarity meaning the wire that had power now switched to a ground and the ground switched to a power dont worry about that as long as you get one power and one ground there your motor will move.if you do not have power then you will have to go up and check the switch for power coming in and power going out.a simple tool to use is a test light you can pick them up alot of places pretty cheap

The picture is the order you tighten down the head bolts. They go to 44 foot lbs. Then you turn in same order the head bolts and additional 95 degrees. Hope this helps.....

could it be a bad voltage regulator?

Both gauges get power from the same circuit as the warning lights. So it could be a problem with the printed circuit board on the cluster or something in the wiring harness connector.

Have your throttle position sensor check TPS

That is usually an indication of a bad turn signal switch. The lower 2 lights pass through it first so the turn signals can cancel the brake light as they share the same circuit.
