OK...86 F350 CC dually, 460 etc...
Left front signal, right rear signal, right rear brake light, and right signal indicator do not work. Checked all fuses and changed all bulbs.

I am assuming the signal switch? If so, how big of a pain is that?

Suggestions?

Take a voltmeter or a test light and see if you have 12 volts on the lightgreen wire going up the column(this comes from the brake pedal switch)with the brake pedal depressed. Then with the turnsignal switch in the right turn position, and the brake pedal pushed, see if you have voltage on the orange-light/blue wire(this wire goes to the right rear brake lamp). If you have it going in with the lightgreen wire, but not coming out of the switch on the orange-light/blue, then you can assume the switch is bad. I have never taken one out, but working on the steering column is never any fun in my experience.
