Turn signal lights not working

Have a 1998 F150, turn signal lights are not working properly. The indicator on the dash flashes very fast but it's not flashing outside the truck.

Do your brake lights work? The reason I keep asking everybody this, is because the brake lights use the same wiring and bulbs as the turnsignals. We can eliminate that whole section if the brake lights work.

Turn Signal Still Not Working

Rear passenger-side turn signal not working... I attempted to change the bulb and this did not solve the problem. What's my next step? The brake lights on the rear passenger side do not work either. Fuse is in tact. All other electrical and lighting appears to be working properly.

Thanks.

Go up to the column and find the wires coming out of the column. There should be a lightgreen/orange wire(left rear light) and a orange/lightblue(right rear light) wires. Put the turnsignal in the center position, and then test for voltage on both wires when you push on the brake pedal.

You should have voltage on the lightgreen/orange, since you said the left side worked. If you have voltage on the orange/lightblue wires too, then that means you must have a socket or wiring problem to the rear. If you do not have voltage on the orange/lightblue wire at the column when you push on the brake, then your multi-function switch is bad, commonly known as a turnsignal switch.
