Intermittantly working blinkers

[SHOstuff]

My blinkers sometimes work. My side light comes on when I turn either blinkers on but the blinkers don't come on all the time. when it is on, it'll cut out and come on. Could anybody tell me where to look to fix it or what I need to do? Thanks in advanced!

Multifunction stalk.

...and just replace that and I'll be good? Thanks 93rev!

i had to do the same thing with the 94 parts one we "accidentally" set on fire a lil bit during engine removal. the multifunction switch is what you need yes, but its much easier to just replace the whole stick (found that out the hard way)

I would think replacing the whole switch would be easier but you say just the stick huh?

Replace the whole switch.

 

[xshoel93x]

well i believe the guts of the switch itself is inside the stick. it has been a lil while since i did mine and it still does the same thing as before now, it worked perfect for a few months. thats ok, nobody else uses turn signals in boston anyways lmfao

Anyone have the Ford part number for the whole thing?

 

[SHOstuff]

Replace the whole switch.

:laugh_ti: ok

 

[SHOstuff]

Ca that same switch interchange from a 2nd gen?

 

[93rev2sev]

from a windstar...from a 3rd gen...from a sable...more im sure...

...and couldn't you just clean the contacts on the inside also?

 

[SHOstuff]

Ok...I just noticed a trend in this blinker issue. After driving for a while and it's warm inside the car, it starts to work. Now I don't know if it's from driving it for a while or because it gets warm from the heater. But when I do turn them on and they don't come on, it's just a click.

 

[SHOstuff]

So do I still need to change the switch or do y'all think it's something else?

 

[SHOstuff]

Well guys...I just got around to replacing the whole stick and it's not working still. The side lamps come on when turning on the blinkers but the blinkers aren't working. what else to look at?

-flasher relay

Where is the relay in these cars? I have not found mine yet.

 

[SHO1]

Up under the dash in the steering column area. There's a bunch of different relays/modules all packed around each other.

lI literally just had the same issue with my car. It was the relay. 10 dollars at autozone. It is directly above the fuse panel on a metal bracket. go buy the part first and then you will know what to look for above the fuse panel.

will check back when i'm done...
