Try turning the hazard switch on and off several times real fast. A bad connection in the combination switch can cause that problem. Check your brake light switch to make sure it has current.

SOURCE: 1991 Ford E150 turn signals do not work,emergancy flashers flash constantlly unless the flasher relay is unplugged from fuse block

Hi,

If I understand you right based on your post/description, the signal lights would still turn on even if any or both of the flasher relays are removed. Should this be the case, then the signal lights are not getting the power from the flasher relays but from the brake light circuit.

Perhaps your concern is not with any of the flasher, but simply missing or loose ground more particularly with the rear lights. Perhaps you could try determining which of the wires for the brake lights and signal lights (as they come out of the light assembly) would be ground . A test and even possibly a temporary workaround is to hard wire a second ground connection from the determined ground wire of the lights and attach it to any conveniently located bolt or screw to the body. it may be to your advantage to do this on all the rear lights assembly.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

SOURCE: signal lights and brake lights stopped working

the multifunction switch (turn signal switch) is a major cuase of this. your high mount stop lamp wire is run through the switch.

SOURCE: 1999 f150 turn signals and brake lights out. High mast still work

The signal lights work through a relay but the brake lights work through the signal switch, if both are out I think you'll find the problem is the signal switch.

Check the wires at the connection point and follow them back up to the tail light look for any disconnected wires or grounds. Good luck.

Brake light trouble right side brake light will not come on but both flashers work also turn signals work older ford truck what could the problem

I have to think the problem is inside the turn signal switch, a poor internal connection. You know the brake signal first goes through the turn switch before it goes to the bulbs. That is why the brake lights and rear turn signal lights share the same filament in the bulb, and the same wire going to those lights. The only difference is the turning side light is affected by the turn signal flasher, causing blinking, while the other side- the non turning side-does not go through the flasher relay, but straight to the bulb from the turn signal switch. Change your turn signal switch and I believe you will solve the problem. Let me know, okay?

2005 f150 4x4 ,When I turn the right blinker on,it starts blinking rapidly(like the flasher)the rear turn signal & brake light does not work.Thanks

Start with checking your tail light bulb if the front one is working. If it isnt the rear bulb its the flasher itself.

Hi I have a 1989 F150 and none of the brake lights work. I checked the fuse, the brake peddle switch. Oh and the emergency flashers only work in the front.

SOUND LIKE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH COULD BE BAD.SOME CARS BRAKE LIGHT CIRCUIT SHARES THE REAR PORTION OF THE TURN SIGNAL CIRCUIT.
