Turn Signal Flasher Problem

Turn signal flasher doesn't work in the heat. What gives?

All lights work. Turn signal stalk works fine. It just flashes a couple of times, then stays on. Everything works fine in cool weather, but it rarely works at all when the temperature outside is above 90 degrees. Very annoyed.

Happened to me. It is the flasher unit. Do a search on how to find it. It is a blue relay but inside a black box behind radio and lower down in dashboard. About $35 at Ford dealer. It is overheating.

Napa has that relay for about $15 or so? I replaced mine a couple of years ago. EL-27 I think was the part number. It's a little taller than the Ford blue relay so you won't be able to put the black cover back on.
