Not the fuse, not the flasher, not the bulbs, wouldn't be a socket or the wiring to any one light...that leaves turn signal switch.

Has anyone put a trailer plug in on the back end. This is almost always a problem.

Remember, on 80-86 F series truck everything runs through the turn signal switch. I had turn signals every place but the left rear, also the left rear brake light isn't working. Well, first place I went was the bulb. I checked the bulb in another socket it was good, well maybe a bad ground connection, No it was OK. BOTTOM LINE IT WAS THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH. I will strongly suggest if you are replacing the switch, that you pay the extra money and buy an OEM FORD SWITCH, from a dealer. They are available some dealers stock them some have to order. FACTORY FORD SWITCHES ARE AVAILABLE. So don't let them tell you they aren't this is a good way to find a good dealer. I just bought on from Gallagher Ford in Elko Nevada, in April. They stocked it. The OEM FORD switches last longer and work smoother IMO & experience.
