Well the title tells ya whats happening, im pretty goofed...dunno whats wrong, the hazard/flashers are working but when i flip use the blinker it doesn't even light up the green arrow and none of the lights go off....anyone know whats happening? (It has been sitting outside for a few days (0-30 degrees out with snow) does it just need to get warmed up?

Your owners manual should tell you where the turn signal flasher is.

You have to take apart the stearing column and plug the multi something switch back in. Don't remember what the dealer called it but its the turn signal thing. Had the same problem with mine. About an hour into driving it home from buying it. Took it to ford and they charged me 100 in labor and 10 in parts. They said they made it so it wouldn't come unplugged again so I assume the parts were a zip tie. I'm sure you could do it yourself but I didn't have a stearing wheel puller and didn't want to deal with the air bag.

It's the Multi-Function switch. A bunch of stuff runs through them. I've had to replace some before on customers cars.

You don't have to have a puller all you have to do is take he cover off the steering wheel take bolts out then put new in or fix it then reverse took me 30 mins once I found the key lock cylinder has to come out with button on bottom of switch watch videos real easy
