Stupid, stupid turn signal question

[AxlsDemocracy]

Ok, this might be really simple, but it has me at a loss. My left turn signal is out i.e, blinking rapidly. I know its not a fuse, because only the left signal is effected. How in the heck do I fix this? Yes, I'm an idiot.

 

[hllon4whls]

Check the bulbs.

Install u/d pulleys recently? Just kidding, only said that because my right blinker sometimes goes out when I first start up my car.

 

[SN95StangMan]

Low blinker fluid?

 

[Rootus]

Nevermind... someone beat me to it by mere seconds...

 

[SN95StangMan]

Have you changed the blinker fluid recently?




Sorry.

Beat you to the punch.

Yes indeed! We are a bunch of smart asses in here, for sure!

blinker fluid!

i havent changed that since my days hanging out at mustangworld...but seriously, will one bulb cause both the front and rear to blink quickly?

 

[DaveL]

Check the all the bulbs on the left.

 

[AxlsDemocracy]

I had the same problem! I changed all the bulbs,flasher and yes the blinker fluid.
Fords have a problem with the turn signal switch. Cost $49. at dealer but 50Resto has them cheaper. My old one when I took it out the wires and housing around the wire were melted.
So replace the switch and by all means KEEP The blinker fluid FULL

(part #sw-5605 F8ZZ-13K359-AB TURN SIGNAL SWITCH)

COULD THE SWITCH AFFECT THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT COMING ON WHEN U TRY TO GET OUT OF PARK? CUZ I HEARD THEY ARE WIRED TOGETHER FOR SOME REASON OH AND MY BLINKER FLUID IS LEAKING

 

[InWhatGear]

Have you changed the blinker fluid filter lately?

I had the same problem and replaced the "multi-function switch". That is the whole turn signal part that also goes into the steering colum area. Easy to replace, but get a Haynes manual and follow their simple instructions.

I only mention the term "multifunction switch" because that's what I saw in lots of online parts catalogs. Until I had to replace it, I never knew what that part really was.

Good luck.

Check your brake light switch. I had the same problem last summer and a wire was loose from the brake light switch. It's located on the brake pedal.

this was my problem too. my brake lights didnt go on either. didnt notice till the wire broke and i couldnt get my car into drive and the guy behind me in the drive thru said my brake lights werent coming on. Its worth a shot.

 

[BLKGTPONY]

COOL! ILL CHECK IT OUT AND REPLACE THE BLINKER FLUID FILTER JUST IN CASE...ONE MORE QUESTION IS THE FLUID SUPPOSED TO HAVE A RED OR AMBERISH COLOR TO IT??

 

[SN95StangMan]

I use the colorless dry synthetic blinker fluid.
