Changed flasher bulb, replaced 5 amp fuse, replaced relay - I even sacrificed my wrist which got stuck inside the frame of the light casing, and took me 15 minutes to reclaim use of my arm. Anyway, it still doesn't flash front/left turn signal. All others lamps & signals are fine. I guess 3 out of 4 aint bad! :)

How did you solve your issue ?

Fixed it by buying new set of light assembly. The whole thing, which includes the headlights. Bamm, perfect.

Hazards/turn signals not working

Ford F-150 1998 F150 190000 miles
I can't get my hazards or turn signals to work. I've replaced the flasher relay under the dash and the 20 amp fuse is still good. All the blind are good. Still doesn't work. So now I'm looking at the turn signal/flasher switch on the steering column. Has anyone ever heard of one going bad? It's over 90$, so I wanna be sure. I've haven't blown a fuse yet for this.

Yes, indeed, I've heard (and read) of many people that had this problem and it got fixed after changing the flasher module. You should be able to get one for less than 20 bucks. I hope it fixes your problem as well! Let me know if it does, so that I can count one more on the list ;)

I had a weird situation where the right turn signal to a trailer hooked to my 2003 F150 would not work. I found it was a bad small fuse in the plastic fuse cabinet under the hood. That cabinet is a bear to open, but it swings up pulling from the fire wall side of the truck. Feel to the left rear corner as you look at it. A mirror was helpful to see what I had to pull. Inside at the top was a fuse creamish/clearish in color with the number 2 on it. Replaced it. Right turn signal works. Go figure, but that was the problem. I would note my left turn signal on the trailer worked fine.

Check the individual bulbs. If all good, you probably need a new flasher unit.

Fuses, a broken wire, bad window motor for the age it has im sure the motor is burnt. As for turn signals check fuses, check bulbs, and if it has the emergencies button on top of the steering wheel sometimes the sun can brittle the contacts inside i repaired one by applying a shim to give it pressure.

Brake lights and turn signals

Ford F-150 2012  165000 miles
Ok have a 2012 Ford F150 XLT brake lights and turn signals do not come on. I have replaced the turn signal relays, the multifunction switch, the brake pedal switch, several fuses that were not. Blown but replaced anyways, the bulb socket housing, as well as wiring for brake lights, after this did not work I changed the PCM relay out and replaced it, put brand new bulbs in, and also had a mechanic do a reset on the computer but still have no signal lights and no brake lights. I am completely stumped now as I have changed everything possible that could go to brake lights and signals lights and s… Read complete

Lol. Yes I had sane oroblem. First find out where your dead short is on your trailer. You must have switched the ground and power lines on the trailer wiring. Or you have one of the electric brakes wires grounded out before load. The wire your looking for is your brake output wire. Its on the bottom of your plug. Ford has it printed on plug cover. Your fuses are under hood drivers side in fender well. I think they are 10 amp and are #19 and 20. Very top of box toward head light. Also disconnect battery and pull air cleaner look for wiring loom coming from back of truck. Unplug connector clean brake pin on plug it will be discolored from dead short and clean. Reconnect. If you still don't have power check connections in module connected to frame I believe it's the abs module. That should get your lights abd brake power out wiring working. It took me a couple of hrs to figure this one out. Don't give up. Lol

Turn signal

Ford F-150 2014 Super crew 5.0L 120000 miles
One of my turn signals don’t work. My passenger tail light. I have aftermarket tail lights and head lights but for some reason the LED running lights work but break/ turn signals don’t. I checked the fuse and it’s good the resistors are new for the LEDs so I assume it’s good. I checked voltage and I’m getting 14v at both fuse box and wire harness. It’s not the tail lights because I also bought new aftermarket tail lights and tried them and still didn’t work which I’m returning cause now i know it’s an electrical problem somewhere. If somewhere could help I’d really appreciate it. I really don’t wanna take it to the dealership.

My turn signals work but my 4 way flashers don’t. Also my radio will not turn on. There’s a power switch under the middle console below the climate control that controls the power to the cigarette lighter and USB ports I’m not sure if that’s aftermarket or the truck was made like that. I just bought this truck secondhand. It used to be a government highways truck.

Brake lights do not work, (third above the window does work), Turn signals work and running lights do as well.

Since the third light works I assumed it was not the switch... I checked all fuses and they were all good. I changed all bulbs, just to check and the same results.

Any ideas?
