Turn Signal Indicator Light
Hi Ford Folks !
I have a minor problem with my 84 Ford, the turn signal indicator light in the dash on the right side hasn't worked since the day I bought the truck brand new. I replaced the bulb once and it didn't help. Has anybody else had this problem and found the solution ? I can't hear the turn signal clicking because my hearing was damaged by an explosion that knocked me unconsious while I was in the Army 26 years ago. I'd like to mount some small lights on top of the front fenders, that would help a lot.

Hey LeRoy,
It could be the circuit board on the insturment cluster itself. Don't condemn it yet though. I will look at some schematics in a while and see what I can find out. What did you do in the Army?
Talk to you later

Hi Brad !
I signed up for the Airborne Rangers in 73'. I made it through jump school, but not the Rangers. From there I was put in a Pathfinder Company at Ft. Rucker, Alabama, there I helped train helicopter pilots. From there I was sent to Berlin, at first I carried a radio, then they found out how good I was with a machine gun, then they put me on a jeep and we patroled along the Berlin Wall. I was the gunner on the jeep, had an M-60 mounted on a pedistal. In November of 74 I voluntered for French Commando School in Kehl/Strasborg, it was a way to get out of Berlin for awhile. One month of obstacle courses, survival training, gueurilla warfare, explosives, mountain climbing. My hearing was damaged during a winter field excercise somewhere around Wildflicken in Germany. The Squad I was in was a attacking the bad guys, and these jerks set up a trip wire connected to an artillery simulator. One of my buddies on the left tripped the wire and I was standing right over it when it went off. I was only 19 years old then and not very smart, I should have had it documented, I'd be getting some kind of help from the VA right now.

Sounds like you had a pretty wild time then. Thats one thing you always have to do with uncle sam, document everything. I was over exposed to RF (radiation) a few years back due to an air crew leaving the radar active while on the ground. got that one documented for sure. About your turn signal indicator, Does your truck have gauges or warning lights? If I know this I will tell you what to look for. 
Good luck and have fun.
