Blinker problem

Howdy all, took my truck in to the shop to get a leak in the transfer case fixed and to get the speedo fixed and now the blinkers are not working.

I have a 1989 f250 with a 7.3l diesel. The break, hazards, markers and the head lights all work. I checked the fuses in the fuse panel in the cab and they all seem good. I also replaced the flasher fuse that is in the fuse panel as well and still no luck.

Any input would be appreciated.

Might be the actual blinker assembly in the steering column. need to pull the steering wheel to check it out.

well check your voltages etc. see if there is a broken wire, however the good news is if it is the blinker assembly you can order one from the dealer and just swap it out. or pull one out of a scrap yard.

there should be a cluster of wires under the dash comming from the steering column, some of those will be for te blinkers if you have a manual you should be able to follow the wiring diagram to find the right wires to check.

there are usually 2 flashers ..... one for the 4 ways .... one for the blinkers .... you replace the right one ? Turn on the 4 ways and feel the flasher thats clicking . The flasher thats clicking is good ..... find the bad one .
