Problem
2001 f250 here is the problem with key in off possition brake lights are off and hazards work. Start truck or key in on possition brake lights stay on all the time and when trying to signal/hazards dash will just show solid turn truck off and brake lights turn off. Pulling hair out trying to figure out please help

 

When you say brake lights are on does that include the hi mount stop light or just the tail lamps.

 

TAIL lamps

 

Sounds like your turn signal switch may be bad since it's only powered with the key on. But electrical can be pretty tough to diagnose with out it in front of me

 

Today I pulled the two relays and the blue switch which are together and all fuses. Its funny I played with hazards on off on off for a bit and then it went back to normal. Went inside and came out about hour later and the problem was back. Two days ago the head light switch fuse went so I changed and now that is working fine I am no mechanic so if anyone has info for me to check please be simple lol
The blue switch I changed with new and still nothing or are you talking about multifunction switch

 

Yes the multi function switch, turns and hazards are all one piece

 

ok will order tomorrow is there anyway to test first or just buy and try

 

Im sure you could use a volt ohm meter and check it but I dont have the specs for it right now

 

Ok thanks will try that tomorrow

 

It could be several: This is the order I've seen most often...
1. The Clock Spring Wiring Harness has a short.
2. Multifunction Switch is defective.
3. Ignition Switch is defective - often the contacts are worn or corroded.
4. The Clock spring is defective.

****** Remember, you will be working with a SRS!

****** Disconnect the (-) Cable and wait a minimum of one minute prior to attempting to remove the SRS.

****** I also like to remove the (-) Cable, place a towel under the Cable end and jump a wire from it to the (-) for 10 minutes to ensure the drain all the capacitors.

 

ok great thanks guys for info
