F-150 Question

Does anyone know why my turn signals would have stopped working other than a blown fuse . I know there could be hundreds of reasons but any suggestions of where to start looking .

This is a classic. If your interior green light stays on and won't flash, usually taking all the bulbs out, scraping all the socket connections and bulbs and putting everything back together will fix it.

F-150 Question

Lets get some more info before we start. Does the green dash turn signal indicator light up and flash when the turn signal switch is activated, does it light up and not flash, or does it not light up at all? If it does not light up at all, it could be a bad ground, or bad turn signal switch. If it lights up but does not flash, look to the flasher under the dash. Get bach with results, someone here can help.

Thanks for the reply . Nothing flashes it is as if you are just pulling the turn switch and it is not connected to anything .No flashing nor any sound .

Ok..here we go...when you acivate your turn sig, does left and right not flash? have you checked bulbs front/rear? are they on solid? if the answer is yes to left and right, and you know all bulbs are good, then maybe look at the flasher, you may have two flashers on your rig...one for 4-ways (yellow as I recall)... one for turn sig..#552 was popular

F-150 Question

No flash right or left . I didn't check the bulbs because I wouldn't think both would go out at the same time . I replaced the fuse and the flasher in the panel on the lower left dash . If there is another flasher I didn't look at it or know where it is .

If the flasher is bad, the green light in the dash will light up but not flash. I am thinking turn signal switch, but it would be best to pull out the multimeter and a wiring diagram. Start from the fuse box and work your way up to the turn signal switch. If you dont have a meter, borrow one. If you dont have the wiring diagram, ask here for it. Some one will have one to email to you.
