I watched and looked up a bunch of things trying to get my flashers working. With watching yours I started quick pushing my hazard button and bam, they worked. Ended up the hazard button was stuck. Can't thank you enough.
Put the cover back on, the relay can vibrate loose if you don’t, especially if you have a Diesel engine. They need three relays, right side , left side , and hazards. That’s the way they are in road tractors and dump trucks.
Thank you so much for this video David, I fixed my truck lights in 5 minutes thanks to your video, I didn’t know that specific relay is blue, someone had a regular grey relay in it, that is why it wasn’t working 👍🙏
Interesting that the hazards and blinkers use the same relay because my Volkswagen Golf uses one relay for both the hazards and blinkers also. The Volkswagen one was much easier to change out.
thx, This is what the problem was. Still works i unplugged it plugged it back in worked good for a little while Doordashing went out one point and came right back on. Thinks its the connection. going to spray wd40 in it later
I didn't find what you was talking about. Mine is a 97 f250 HD 7.3. But while I was looking for it I found another flashing relay that connects to the back of the fuse panel. Swapped it out and everything works. Iv never seen fuse panels with fuses on both sides. Hope this helps someone.
I have no power going into the flasher (1995 e350 RV) I am trying to sell this damn thing and now the flashers dont work... of course it couldnt just be a bulb or the flasher unit. I am being told I need to trace the wires back and there is likely a problem with the ground or wiring... I dont see how I will be able to accomplish this. Not sure if replacing the switch is worth doing at this point, but I sure could use some advice.. thanks.
Play with the switch Push it in slow some will start working just before the click If it starts working it’s the switch If you have no power still to the flasher. Then it’s not a ground Ck the fuse if blown u have ether a short to ground. If it takes a while to blow u have high resistance. Sometimes I can just throw leds replacements and that will help
I replaced the turn signal/multi-function switch, figuring the switch contacts had worn. I didn't notice that my hazard lights were working intermittently like my turn signals until after I had replaced the turn signal switch, and then proceeded to test all my functions. Since mine works intermittently, I'm wondering if the flasher unit relay is loose and making intermittent contact? I've decided to just buy a new flasher unit relay and make sure it's secure. Maybe I'll carry the old one for a back-up with my spare fuses if it is still good!?
SOLVED! I've read many threads just like this and you guys mostly have my exact problem. Here's what the problem was and how I fixed it: First, in my 2012 Ford F150 the right blinker (flasher)/ brake light would not work. Turn signal blinked fast inside and for the front light and the mirror signal but tail light blinker would not flash. The bulbs were fine, I even replaced with new just to double down. The tail lights would light up when my headlights were on (running lights) but would not get brighter when brake depressed and would not flash for turn signal. I will tell some of you to keep in mind that yours may light up also so you don't think you have a bulb out but keep in mind there are two sepperate tungstan filaments (squiggly light wires) in each tail light and the brakes and flasher one could be bad and your running tail lights still work so definately change your bulbs FIRST, then do this if that was not it. So I had the problem for many months and refused to take my truck to the dealer where of course they will want to replace things and rewire and god knows what else and I've read where one guy says Ford charged him like $800 to fix this. I fixed this problem with $9.00. Saw a RU-vid video with a guy with the same problem and he bought an ELM Interface scanner, plugged into the vehicle under the steering wheel and scanned his own truck with an Android app. So I bought the same one on Amazon (here is the link) www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081WYWZ6B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I found a free app called Car Scanner ELM OBD2 by OvZ it's a generic looking logo of a blue square with a white engine. But I actually saw tons of these apps and I'm sure other apps would work fine as long as they're ELM OBD2 scanning apps with high ratings. I scanned my truck hoping to see some code come up about the BCM (body control module which is where the problem is) but did not see that code. Didnt matter. I CLEARED what unuseful codes I did see and that immediately fixed the problem and my damn flasher and brake lights are all working again. THANK GOD FOR THIS. Super cheap and easy. I'll never go to a dealership. Hope this helps y'all.
change the relay they are cheap at autozone you can get 4 there for ONE Ford OE and they are the same. If that don't work then you have to get into the steering column and take out the cluster switch and replace it. Make sure the fuse is good as well (check it first) then flasher then cluster switch. Cheap to expensive. Easy to harder

It does operate that as well but it is on a different circuit The blinkers and hazard is tied in together Brakes not as much but on some years it’s possible Ck for voltage at the brake light switch. If you have voltage I would say test the switch for continuity when the switch is pressed in. If the switch is fine and you have voltage Check the ground to make sure it’s ok Or run a new ground press the brake pedal see if lights work
So when I turn my hazards on only the green arrow indicating the right side shows up. Neither of my blinkers are working either. Would it be the same issue? I hear the clicking when using my hazards.
Quick question when you press the hazard button it's just 2 setting correct..1push for hazards on and 1 push for hazards off. (Have an issue where it is 4 settings with 1 of the settings being no turn signals 10 e350 bus)
I need some help with my 2018 Ford F-150 , Oem Led headlights and the left front blinker stopped working. All others till work. I am at a lost. I am Firefighter not a mechanic, Help ?????
So... my hazards went out the other day and I noticed that the blinkers also went at the same time. Now I’ve realized that my brake lights are out also. I’m guessing they all went out together. I checked the fuse and it’s fine. After looking at this video I’m guessing this is my next step. Do you agree? And just as a side note... who puts brake lights and blinkers and hazards all on the same unit? Seems like a safety hazard to me 🤷♀️
Yes try this for fist If this fixes only the blinkers then try the brake switch which is on the brake pedal I have a video on that as well. If it fixes everything then you’re all set. And yes Ford does some strange things that is unsafe in my opinion Everything should be separated especially the hazards
What happens if I'm getting power to the relay but no power to the flasher fuse. And the relay isn't clicking and I have no indication lights only dash either
That sounds like ur flasher lever is shot Check for voltage into the lever and out If you have voltage in but not out time to replace lever If u have no voltage in then u need to check for cut wires Also check the fuse block for sign of water the windshield on these tend to leak onto the fuse block

Hazards work and turn signals work but I have no clicking sound, (I also have no chime sound when turning the car on) could my problem be related to this part? 2008 Ford Explorer
Lucia Aguirre No I would check the rear light wires and or the trailer socket and wires if your trailer harness uses same fuse, some of the truck have separate fuses for the trailer electric
Lucia Aguirre That’s a short to ground So the short is from the steering column where the lever is to fuse box Did anyone work on the inside of the truck in the steering column? Or even under the dash by the pedals? The blinker switch assembly may need to be looked at or even the fuse block Those are Notorious for water leaking on the fuse block and making truck do wacky things Even drain the battery for no reason Or radio to do wacky things
David Behr's Phantom Industries thank you I changed the single switch and it stop doing it. Had a lot of shortages but now all good. Thank you so much for your help.
I have a 2004 F350 and when I use my right or left turn signals my tail lights flash as if I have my hazard lights on could this be because of a bad relay shown in this video?
That sounds more like a ground wire in the back of truck Check and clean the tail light grounds Electric finds ground even if it’s going through another bulb to get to it. Or it’s possible the wires are crossed. If there was work done on truck I would check to see if something was done to cause this.
Hey hoping you can help I have a 2004 Cadillac deville I purchased it like this no hazards ,blinkers or dash indicators I am hearing clicking every time I use blinkers or hazards but nothing happens what do you think ?
Just going to run down some stuff even if you probably check it already Start with the fuse at the fuse blocks Check engine compartment and inside cab, look for blinkers and the hazard Then check the relays for blinkers and the hazard make sure you have power going In and out of fuses and relays. The if all good you will need to check the blinker unit just because you hear it clicking doesn’t mean it works, they are electronic and that clocking is fake you need to make sure u have the pulse of electric going out . If all good then you need to start checking the steering column the hazard button and the switch arm for the blinkers make sure they are not worn out Good luck
@@DavidsHowtosReviews checked fuses and fuse box with light tester I haven’t replaced the turn signal flasher I’m hoping it’s that but if not I’ll look at my steering column like you said thanks for the response
My hazards work, but the blinkers don't. They usually won't work when it's cold or they take a while to work after the truck is warm. Is that the same issue?
@benl4707 the hazard/blinker switch unit needs to be replaced It on Amazon It can also be the flasher unit that unit works by heat This is what it will look like Depends on your yr ,make ,model EP27 Fits for Ford F150 (97-12), F250-F450 (99-10) Super Duty Trucks EP27 Flasher Realy, Fix Hyper Flash, Compatible LED/Stock Bulb Electronic Turn Signal and Hazard Warnning, Flasher Relay a.co/d/b2hGrKW
What is the issue, No blinkers, but hazard, no hazard, but blinkers. I would definitely check for voltage at both sides of fuse, then ck for voltage at the flasher unit then ck the switch up on top of steering column. The switch on top of the steering column tends to go bad.
If you have power at fuse I would say the flasher switch/ arm needs replacement. If there is no voltage at fuse then there is a problem with ether the fuse block, follow the voltage.
I would first check for voltage before and after hazard button, the button tends to wear out but works like it should just dose not let voltage through If you have cked this already please let me know what u did thus far.
Check the ac fuse inside the cab Fuse 24. 10amp That’s for the clutch Under hood is #36 it is a diode that’s for ac clutch also Check the ac pressure, if the pressure is to low it will shutdown the system
I have that problem. Nothing happens when flashers on, except my brake lights don't work. Turn flasher off, brake lights work. No blinker lights or noise. Weird.
If you have over 100k more then likely it’s the blinker switch on the column. Also the hazard switch usually where is Al and you need to wiggle the switch for the hazards sometimes it will get everything to work again, but if it does replace the hazard switch.
Also make sure you check the common things like fuses and grounds just in case a wire got pinched by the frame or something like that and popped the fuse.
I would think this blinker hazard unit is bad as long as you made sure there are no wires cut or crossed www.1aauto.com/ford-turn-signal-combination-lever-trq-swa41775/i/1azcc00017
That really sounds like the signal lever needs to be replaced This is the part just make sure to check your application shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/motorcraft-original-equipment-o.e.-switch-assembly-direction-indicator-sw-6524/11865635-P
what could cause my running lights to stay on rather the switch is on or off the only way to turn them off to disconnect the batteries ? if you know the answer it would be appreciated!
@@DavidsHowtosReviews alrighty so I ordered a new headlight switch and installed it but it didn’t work do you have any other ideas when I turn it on they come on really bright but when everything‘s off they’re still on but you can tell it it’s not at the full power
Before you go crazy Check the relay make sure it’s not stuck on just swap relays with another that in in the fuse block. Also check the fuse block under dash, if the windshield leaks it goes right onto the fuse box look for signs of water that has leaked down or whet the roof where the lights are and windshield You are looking for bad relay first Water in fuse block second Last chase the wires for those lights see where it is getting the power. Good luck If that’s not to problem you will have to start chasing wires because
Unfortunately I did everything that you said in the video and it did go by an oem which was $46 but it turns out that this is not the problem my turn signal still doesn't work but my emergency flashers work's just trying to figure out which are the relays for the Flasher or the fuses is that something you can help me with?
I would start with the directional lever on steering column one viewer said their’s needed to be replaced. Check for voltage in and out of that. Check for voltage before replacing parts voltage in, voltage out. Just make sure all fuses are good Not that the flasher relay got hot and popped the fuse.
i was diagnosing my dads truck signals last night. they werent going, and neither were 2 of the 3 brake lights. weird right? the one on the back of the roof was still ok. meanwhile that freaky buzzy noise you demonstrate was happening cause i left the 4-ways "on" while i was upside down in the footwell. pressed n massaged the 4-way button and for some reason signals n brakes came back. im making him replace this blasted fuse tomorrow. 😎
@@leviprine9490 I would start with the socket where the bulb is, as long as u roiled out the bulb itself. If the socket is good not corroded or melted, Then follow the wires. Also, dose the blinker work or only the back light? Check for voltage at plug. If you have voltage then check the ground. Good luck
I replaced the socket by borrowing the left one, the back right blinker works, its just the front right not working, the more i think about it the more i think its an isolated thing. I think its some kinda problem between the signal switch on the steering column and the harness for the blinker bulb(I replaced the blinker bulb , theres a crack in the plastic light cover, its a second hand truck I'm trying to maintainence up)
@@leviprine9490 did you find a solution my truck is doing the same thing but only my front right one is working my back right don’t work an I replaced the bulb so would a fuse still do that? Or is it something bigger
You may have a BCM issue which you can fix for $9 with a scanner and a free app. See my other comment here on this video comment thread for full explanation
If they stay solid and dont blink but inside your signal is blinking fast its probably your BCM. Scan it and clear the code yourself with a cheap scanner. Easy cheap fix
@@DavidsHowtosReviews like my hazards and turn signal lights will be working on the outside of the vehicle, but I don’t see them working on the inside on the dash. Could it be the thermal flasher right?
That sounds like you have something going on with the wire leading to dash or the lights inside the dash for the indicators are burnt out Ck for voltage at input for the dash
