Turn Signal Problems???
I am having turn signal problems on my 1996 Ford F-150, 4.9L, 5 speed. The other day, I thought I smelled "burning rubber". Well, yesterday, I noticed my turn signals didn't work. The windshield wipers and the dimmer switch work, as well as the emergency flashers. I put a new turn signal componenent in just to check it, but no fix.
Anything in particular I need to look for, maybe a common problem?!
Thanks, Love the site!!

Well, I feel like a total moron...because after checking the flashers/emergency lights, I had ruled out the flasher fuse...only to find later (after buying a $150 turn signal switch) there were 2 flasher fuses and one was bad!!!! So, 2 bucks later, all is well!!!

Where are these two fuses? All I can find in the owners manual and on the fuse panel cover is ONE fuse labeled “Turn Lamps”. I can not find any fuses named “flasher”.
I also am having turn signal problems and don't feel like buying a $150 switch.
Thanks, Bill

The fuse is actually a flasher relay...if I remember right!!! It has been 5 months now, but if memory serves, there are 2 flasher relays!!!
As for the right turn signal staying on...a $4 part in the steering column!!! Problem is, $200 at a mechanic...or $120 in tools for you and 5 hours!! LOL Good luck!
