Cleaned MFS headlights remain on

Hello , My flashers were not functioning properly (left was out - right was blinking fast). The signals worked ok . Read a few posts and came to the conclusion it was my MFS.Took it apart cleaned it and the flashers were working properly. Problem solved , NOT . Now my headlights remain on . I have to pull the negative battery cable to shut the lights off. Did I not put the switch back together properly or do I need a new switch ?

Racerguy , I took it apart again everthing seem to line up ok. Re-installed it.Moved it around in all positions (Left signal,right signal,hi-beems,etc...) It is working well now.Maybe one of the contacts were stuck.You guys have saved me $220. I changed my plugs last week because my "check engine " light came on and the truck was miss fireing. I would have never attempted it but because of some great information in here this task was acommplished (#4 and #7 were a bitch) You guys again have saved me $230. This site is Fantasic and the people on here are so helpful. I commend you all.

Good to hear that it works again.
With all that money you've saved you could buy a Club FTE membership

YEA!! Then you get that real cool...."SUPPORTER" button by your name too! and bumper sticker, member card...etc.


This site has saved me more $$ than I could think of. Between my Bronco and my F150...it has got to be at least a couple of thousand dollars.
