REPLACE THE BULB
i don't know if it is a Ford thing, but my dodge did somewhat the same thing... my blinker would flash very fast on the dash and it turned out that my bulbs were out in the rear (maybe that is the problem and your brake lights are connected). When the bulbs burn out the circuit is shorted.
the bulb for brake and signal lights has two elements. in your case the element for brakes is open and you will have to replace bulb.
when you flip your blinker on, a relay in the circuit is activated which turns the light on and off. also, the front blinker and rear blinker usually alternate in turning off and on, so when the back is on, the front will be off, and reverse.. that's why when a bulb is out, the clicking sound in the vehicle goes faster than when both are in working order.
The turn signal flasher is what makes the noise and lets the turn signal flash.
Blinker relay is under steering column. In fuse box, there is a relay in right corner. If your blinkers don´t flash, that is usually broken.
emergency blinker
in the steering column.
Most blinker circuits do not flash if one bulb is burned out. If the bulbs are all OK then the flasher is probably bad.
Someone is pulling your leg. There is no such thing as blinker fluid! I like to dilute the blinker fluid 50/50 with water. It makes the fluid last longer and the lights flash much brighter....... :)
need to replace blinker bulb
AnswerTo fix it do this : say the drivers side blinker goes on and does not flash. Well then you have either the front or rear blinker burned out. Thx KBThere's the possibility of burned bulbs, but if both sides fail to blink, replace the flasher unit.
When you say blinker I assume you mean the trafficator/Hazard light?? If so then it is actually the Hazard switch which is located on the panel by the gear lever.
