1990 F250 electrical gremlin

New to the board. And new to the truck. I've had it for about two months and haven't had any issues. Now, suddenly I have an issue, I loose my turn signals and backup lights after start. With the key in the 'ON' position, everything works fine. After starting the truck - no signals and no backup light.

Thanks for any help;
John

Try wiggling the key tumbler slightly back toward you without shutting the shutting the engine off and see if you can make the turn signals work, If you haven't already tried this.

Thank you! I must have jiggled the signal arm, the wheel adjuster, every wire I could touch and shake the whole steering column a dozen times ... but jiggle the key? Never dawned on me. It worked by the way, thanks again.
