Am I seeing this right in your picture? It looks like the red wire is spliced to the red/ black wire at the column plug and then it goes to the tin flasher unit. Is that right? If so then that is the start of your problem.

The red/black wire on the column plug is spliced in, and leads to the brake light switch. If you look at that picture you should be able to see the flasher in the background. Separate red wire running to it.
Pic in post #11 shows the position of both flashers and identifies them. You can see that the T/S flasher plugs into the back of the instrument cluster at the far right in pic.

NumberDummy, is this what you're talking about? My cluster is just resting in place so I can pull it out tonight and take a picture of the back of it and verify it is there? Possibly replace it?
I apologize for the angle/quality of the pictures. I work 12+ hour shifts and get off at 6:30am, so when I remembered to get some pics before going to bed I wasn't overly excited about laying on my floorboard to take them. I wanted to sleep in the truck as soon as I hit the floorboard. lol My flashers are obviously not in the factory locations at the moment. I do believe that my hazard flasher, both on this F100 and my Bronco, is located on the left side behind the AC vent, if yours has AC anyway, and hooked into the sheetmetal in front of the seatbelt buzzer. I know the one in my Bronco had a little tab on the back of the flasher that would hook into a small hole in the sheetmetal and you'd twist the flasher and pull to "release" it from the hole.
Also, on your other thread about that random wire, there's a pic of you holding a wire and in the background you can see the seatbelt buzzer. It's the long flat square object and below that in the pic looks to be the hazard flasher, however I am no expert and could be entirely wrong. It might just be a lojack and you're soon to be on the TV show Cheaters. I don't know.
And since you're such a swell guy AND my dash bezel is still off AND my gauge cluster has no screws holding it in at the moment, when I get off from my shift tonight (tomorrow morning), I will pop out the plug into the cluster and pop off the speedo and take pictures behind everything, so that you might be able to restore some things. It can be very frustrating trying to undo hack jobs that previous owners have done. I've been extremely fortunate with my F100 that it has been touched very little. My Bronco is the complete opposite. I basically traced every loose wire back to wherever it came from and pulled them all out and tossed them into the garbage if they served no purpose. If I hadn't already hacked up my '75 F150's harness I'd offer that to you, but I've been cutting it up to use on my other 2 Dorfs. Speaking of Dorfs, I'm surprised I haven't seen that more often. My '77 F150 that I had years ago had the F and the D in the grill swapped around since they're just bolted in, previous owner was a dorf for sure.
All, I am still going through the reply's to trouble shoot this thing. Been busy the past week, and had a car show this weekend. I did however come across this and found it very odd.
So first I know they are LED Bulbs. I have regular as well and they don't change anything. So the first picture is the running light. It operates as it should now. I found a loose ground on the drivers side. Fixed it and it appears we are good to go. However, the second picture showing how DIM the other LED's are is with the brake pedal depressed. Now obviously it is getting voltage. But not enough??? Odd. This is also the drivers side. The passenger side does nothing when you depress the light?
Does this change anyones opinions on whats wrong? I'm super confused but will re-read the replies and check on things this week if the weather permits.
Nope. Oddly enough it won't get in 180 out. The tabs won't allow it. Also tried the bulb in another vehicle. Middle "LED" is running light. Top and bottom "LED" light up with the middle for brakes.
