Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Right Turn Signal / Brake Light Not Working - MFS?


Aug 9, 2017

I have a 1997 F150 5.4L 2wd long bed w/ tow package.

Right (passenger) turn signal/brake light is not illuminating. The tail light on the right side does illuminate when headlights are on. (Same Bulb) All other lights are functioning properly.

When the MFS is in the right turn position the right arrow on the dash flashes and clicks faster than normal.

This happened about a month ago and it turned out to be a blown fuse. The fuse was for the trailer lighting and right turn/stop light, found in the small fuse box under the hood that only holds 2 fuses. Problem solved temporarily...

Now the issue is back, Here are some things I've tried so far:
Replaced the fuse again; Turns out the fuse didn't blow this time, but I tried a new one anyway.
Cleaned the ground for the rear light wiring harness.
Replaced the bulb.
Replaced the relay.
Checked continuity on multi-function switch, right turn position reads 2.8 ohms IIRC
Repaired pin #5 on the multi-function switch wiring connector (wire backed out, right turn related)
Replaced the bulb socket.
Inspected the wiring for broken insulation/exposed wires from that socket to under the hood, didn't find anything exposed. All wires are still in the loom.

I replaced this wiring harness and wiring looms about 6 months ago because the previous owner had done a hideous splice job for unknown reasons, so it should be ok. Should I get a new multi-function switch, or try something else? If the switch doesn't work what's the next step?

Ford Excursion :: 2003 - Turn Signal / Brake Light Stopped Working On Rear Right

2003 X limited, 2wd 6.0L

Last week wife's right rear turn signal/brake light stopped working. The left one flashes normally. The right tail light works fine which is a different bulb. I tried changing bulbs (didn't work).....tried a new socket with new and old bulb (didn't work). Could it be a relay? Or not relay as they would be both out (left and right)?

I looked at my trailering wiring plug down by bumper and the white wire with green stripe looks split a little towards the end. Could it be a bad ground or short in that wire? Would the trailering wiring have anything to do with it? I was going to try to replace the relay if I could find it, what is the part number for it.

3.Passenger Side Overhead Outside Light on cab is out . Okay that's probably just a bulb!

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Turn Signal / Hazard Won't Working?

I have a 1998 Ford F150. The turn signals do not work nor the hazard flashers. When I trun on the hazard flashers(they do not come on) the turn signals will then work. Checked all fuses both under dash and in the engine compartment. With flashers turned on and using the turn signals, the relays located in engine compartment are working. It appears that the only way for the turn signals to work is to recieve power through the hazards.

Ford Wiring/Electrical :: 2005 - Rear Turn Signal And Brake Light Won't Working?

I just bought an 05 F250 XLT. I noticed tonight that the rear turn signals and brake lights dont work.

the front turn signals work fine, although they flash fast. I know that usually means a light on its way out. neither taillight flashes though, which puzzles me.

my second issue is that, of the 3 brake lights, only the high mounted light illuminates when I hit the brakes.

I have 1999 Ford F-150 xlt and on the passenger side the brake and turn signal don't work but reverse light does. On the driver's side, everything works so I switch bulbs and outlets and it still doesn't work but two of the wires for trailer hook up and cut. I was wondering if that had anything to do with that.

Ford - Explorer :: 2003 - Left Rear Turn Signal Brake Light Will Not Work

My wife's 2003 sportrac has developed a problem. The left rear turn signal brake light will not work. The tail light does. When you turn on the left turn signal the front bulb and the dash light flashes real fast. I have changed both, the front and rear bulbs with no luck. I've read on here about the tilt steering column deal. I have moved the steering column while operating the turn signal with no change.

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Brake And Turn Lights Are Not Working

I have a '97 F150 and the trailer break lights and turn lights are not working. I have checked the fuses under the dash and hood and all fuses look fine. I have also tested the trailer on another vehicle and checked the wires. Trailer lights worked and wires and connections looked fine. In searching the forum I noticed a similar problem [URL] .... and it was fixed through a third fuse box that was not in the manual. I haven't been a user long enough to send e-mails, but it looks like WhipsnHorses was the one that provided the answer before.

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Rapid Blink When Engage Right Turn Signal

I have a "rapid blink" when I engage the right turn signal. It doesn't do it all the time. When I checked it, the rear was blinking and the front appeared to be out. Changed the right front bulb, but the problem didn't go away. So, I changed the rear bulb. Still didn't cure it. Now I'm confused. I thought for sure "rapid blink" was caused by a bad bulb. What else could it be, Flasher unit? Bad ground?
