So i have a ford mustang 2005 and I've been putting off posting here. For a week now hopefully you guys will have some suggestions. My Mustang has the following issues.


#1. Rear Break Light doesn't work
#2. Rear Blinkers Dont work either (But the front blinkers do work)

Ive had the cables tested my mechanic had to go out of town but he had enough time to test to see if the cables were getting powers to the rear lights. Which he said it was hot and receiving power. But get this! If i turn on my lights the headlights the rear and back come on like normal as in the knob on the left side of the steering wheel.

Could it be some sorta computer issue? Not sending the signals anymore
Any suggestions? Im rather confused and this just started randomly ....

Did you check your blinker fluid?

For your blinkers my guess would be the turn signal flasher, it's a little cylinder that is usually tin looking. Can't say for sure where it is at, but a new one cost $~2. I'd start from there.

Blinker fluid is a joke.

My guess is this
List: Turn Signal Flasher - 2005 Ford Mustang | O'Reilly Auto Parts
It's gonna be somewhere under the dash.
