Blinker on a 1995 Ford Ranger
My blinker has problems. For some reason it only works when I turn
right. Every now and then the left will work, but most of the time it does not. I think it is a problem with the blinker machanism in my steering wheel. It seems like it is not making contact or something. 1) Has anyone else had this problem? 2) How could I fix it? 3) How much is a new blinker unit and where could I get one? Thank you, Anthony |

Check if any pins are pushed out of the connector on the switch .
The pins come loose sometimes and make a bad connection. Also check the hazard lite switch.turn it on\off a couple of times. Dirt and corrosion inside the switch make a bad connection.

Thank you for the reply.

This is a good point, in the past, sometimes this has helped. - Anthony |

Your flasher relay is likely going bad. It is a $10 part at any auto parts

No You have to take the trim panel and that metal plate off under the steering kolom, then take the screws(3?) out the plastic cover around the steering kolom and yank it out, it is a little pita to align it when you put it back. > > > The pins come loose sometimes and make a bad connection. > > Also check the hazard lite switch.turn it on\off a couple of times. > > This is a good point, in the past, sometimes this has helped. Either use the hazard switch reguarly or dont touch it !! > > - Anthony Johan |
