electical problems

I have a 99 expidition with the 5.4 and all wheel drive. The problem I have is no left blinker inside or out. If the steering wheel was up I would have it sometimes. Now I have no O/D light and the windshield wipers go when ever. There must be a short in the steering column... I think. I'm worried about this problem but don't think I want to screw around with the air-bag. any advice would be appreciated. Any one had similar problems? I dont mind checking things out, I am very mechanical.

Part of the problem could be in the Multi Function Switch, (Turn Signal switch). Dealer replaced mine under warranty when the wipers would operate when the lever was operated for a turn.

It's probably your multi switch as was previously posted. i had the same problem on a T-bird.
