Directional Lights?

Good Morning. I have an 2004 F-250 SD. V10, 4x4. Bought new in 2004. Only owner. LOL

Now the problem. One day in the not too distant past, I turned on the Left turn signal, but wait, no signal. Not one on the right either. Come to find out I had seeral things not working.

Cruise Control - Dead
Turn Signals - Dead
Back up lights - Dead
Back up sensor dinging thing - Dead

Not sure why all this quit at the same time.

Any suggestion? I am tired of using my arm to collect bugs while signaling a turn.

Thank you

welcome to FTE

on the 99-04's, there is a wire bundle that crosses over the top of the steering column to the gear selector.

over the years, the wires tend to fray and ground out...and causes issues like you describe

pull the plastic cover off the top of the column and check that wire bundle for frays/breaks. repair and tape well with electrical tape
