turn signals stay lit solid when on

I have a '97 Powerstroke. When i turn on the blinkers, they stay lit solid. They don't blink. Both sides do this. The hazards work fine. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mike

Bad flasher? I would think that both (one for the hazards, one for the signals) would be located somewhere close to your fusebox, though I don't have a later model truck in front of me to check. Pull the working flasher (for your hazards) and plug it into the socket for your signals. See if they work. If so, replace it.

I just had a similar problem with my 77 F-150.
Im not positive, but I would bet there is two flashers and your turn signal flasher is out.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 09-May-02 AT 07:16 PM (EST)]I know on some 80's trucks they put a One flasher on the Front and another One on BACK of the fuse box.
Don't be surprised if your 90 something is like that too.
To narrow the searching down.
Turn the 4-way's on and feel the flasher unit that is easy to see.'if you feel it clicking you KNOW that one isn't the problem.

If the flasher doesn't fix it, then with the signal on, go around the truck and make sure all the bulbs are glowing. If some of them are out, the circuit will not draw enough current to make the flasher work.
