There is a flasher unit that controls both the normal indicators and hazard flashers, on a 98 ford escort it is fixed to the base of the indicator stalk switch, if you remove the shroud that covers the switches around the top of the steering column you can see the flasher unit, usually it is black and just plugs in to the bottom of the hazard and indicator switch. The unit should have an ignition supply to it as well as a perm ant supply when the hazard switch is pushed down. Sometimes these switches get sticky contacts so if you bang the switch on and off a few times it can sometimes make the contacts work and then then all the indicators start working again.

SOURCE: 96 Ford Taurus no turn signals or hazards

Take the turn signal lever and jiggle it, a lot. If they start working, the switch is bad. You can also turn on the hazards and take hold of the button and push it left , right , forward and back and see if they start working. If so, replace the turn signal/ hazard switch.

All my lights work on my 2005 ford focus except the lower brake lights and turn signals. all fuses are good.

Do you know anything about automotive electronics ?
Stoplamps
The stoplamps are part of the rear lamp assembly. When the brake pedal is applied, the stoplamp switch supplies voltage to the generic electronic module (GEM) and the high mounted stoplamp. The GEM then supplies voltage to the rear lamps.

Turn Signal Lamps and Hazard Warning Lamps
The turn signal lamps and hazard warning lamps system consists of:
  • Hazard switch
  • Multifunction switch
  • GEM
  • Turn signal lamps
When the multifunction switch is placed in the LH or RH turn positions, a voltage signal from the GEM is routed to ground. When the GEM detects the multifunction switch in the LH or RH turn position, the GEM supplies voltage to the appropriate turn lamps in a flashing manner. When operating correctly, the turn lamps flash approximately 80 times per minute.
When the hazard warning switch (located in the upper part of the center console) is switched on, a voltage signal from the GEM is routed to ground. When the GEM detects that the hazard switch is switched on, the GEM supplies voltage to all the turn signal lamps in a flashing manner. When operating correctly, the hazard lamps flash approximately 80 times per minute.

Do you know how to test electrical circuits with a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter , how to read an use a wiring diagram to pin point locations in a electrical circuit for testing B+ voltage an ground ?

2000 Ford Excursion signal lights and hazard lights do not work?

There is a turn signal/flasher relay that has probably died. They are usually plugged into the cars fuse box. Get a new one from a dealer - they are cheap enough.

Hazards activated by turn signal. when I use my turn signal it activates the hazard lights

There are two things that can cause this type of problem, the flasher or the signal switch, i would replace the flasher first this may be the problem. i've had some that had just a bad flasher and others that needed the switch, the flasher is cheap and easy to replace so try that first.

Rear turn signal and hazard light don't flash (left side only)

The rear left turn signal bulb must be replaced immediatly before it melts the light socket, if it has'nt yet. Also please verify that the correct light bulb is being installed. because even though many bulbs look the same they are not identical. Installing the wrong bulb can be the begining of many, many problems in the particular circuit

Brake lights not working but centre mount is!!

the problem is most likely in the turn signal switch. the power for the left and right brake lights goes through the turn signal switch, but power for the center mount comes straight from the brake light switch. this allows the brake light to be turned of so the turn signal can operate as they use the same filimant in the bulb.
