Electrical Failure?
About two weeks my back up lights stopped working and just this morning my turn signals stopped working. It's a 1996 F-250 - any ideas....


Thanks.

Check your grounds...

Any time that I get wierd electrical problems I check ground first. That's because too many times I've found out after hours of searching it was a bad ground....

Good luck.

Yes check the ground with a single black square connector that is normally the ground for the whole light system. It is under the box on the left frame rail.
