Turn Signal's
the truck is my 86 f250 4x4. im having issues with the blinkers and brake lights. my rear blinkers work fine. my front blinkers dont blink at all. my brake lights work but sometimes my right one wont work. when i play with the turn siganal lever the brake light will come on. also all blinkers blink when i put the 4 way flashers on.
so, ive asked before on her and i was told its prolly my turn signal needs replaced on the column. does that still sound like a good diagnosis?
how hard is it to replace the trurn signal? and whats all involved? thanks for reading!

if you don't want to throw money at it, two suggestions.
Buy a Haynes manual, go to chapter 12 and follow the directions to see what is wrong.
Just take off the shroud around the steering column and check the quarter round shaped connector to see if it is loose or if there are any frayed wires or corroded connections.
Because one of your brake lights works only intermittently when you screw with the switch, I am inclined to say it is the switch, but you should check the connections first to save money on a part you may or may not need, it could be something really simple. Wiring problems are not that hard but can be a bugger sometimes.
On a side note, if it looks like you took the time to compose a thought-out post (correcting misspellings and such), more of the people on here would be more eager and prompt to try to help you with your issues. I don't want to be mean but your posts really make you look lazy...
siganal, trurn, prolly... is it really that hard to type probably? It's like two extra letters.
Hope my post helps you at least a little. I will see if I can scan the relevant pages of the haynes if you don't have one.
