Hazard lights not working correctly
I have a '91 E350 with hazard light probs. When I turn them on, only the right rear light blinks. I replaced the hazard flasher relay, but that didn't do anything. My signal lights work fine.
Any ideas on fixing this?
Thanks,
Vic

I believe that it could be your multfunction switch. You may want to try operating it several times as this will make the contacts wipe against each other and clean themselves. If that doesn't work you may try some contact cleaner.

'91 still used the old-style turn signal switch with integral hazard switch (similar to the MFS, but not called that).
Does wiggling the turn signal affect it? I suspect you'll have to replace the whole turn signal switch assembly.

Well, the hazard switch is located on the column, kind of in front of the gear selector arm. So, I'm not sure if either of you have it right.
But I like the idea of activating the switch multiple times to see if it cleans the contacts.
Any more ideas.

On a 77 Ford pickup that I had the hazard switch was on the right side of the column and the turn signal switch was on the left side of the column but they were just one part. The part was light a donut that went around the steering column. I suspect that on your truck the hazard switch and turn signal switch is one part also.l Operating the switch several times solved my problem.

kioolt,
Thanks. I will try that. As this in on my motorhome(e350 cut-away), it doesn't get a lot of use, so dirty contacts makes a lot of sense.
The advice is very much appreciated.
