Great advice and education on Ford SJB from our professional auto technician and electronics guru.

They normally flash fast when a bulb is burnt out . There is no flasher , SJB - smart junction box - fords BCM - body control module turns the flashers on and off .

Principles of Operation

The smart junction box (SJB) monitors the multifunction switch position by sending multiple voltage reference signals to the multifunction switch. When the multifunction switch is in the LH or RH TURN position, or the hazard lamp switch is engaged, that input signal is routed to ground.

When the SJB receives an input from the multifunction or hazard switch indicating a request for a turn signal or hazard lamps, the SJB then supplies voltage to the appropriate turn lamps.

Hooking up a factory or some other type professional scan tool to check for codes in the SJB would be the first step in a diagnoses for this .

B1499 Lamps, Left Turn Signal Failure If a turn signal is inoperative, Go To Pinpoint Test O .
If a turn signal is always on, Go To Pinpoint Test N .
B1502 Lamps, Left Turn Signal Short to Ground Go To Pinpoint Test O .
Test N .
B2282 Left Turn Signal Switch/Circuit Short to Ground Go To Pinpoint Test N .


Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop.

Fast flashing though, check the bulbs and in particular, the marker bulb on the left side. And never use LED bulbs in a vehicle that wasn't made for them.

Would you like to take a crack at this one Jeff. I told him, but he doesn't believe me. I remember that technical site with the guy who turned the headlights off inside the workshop to not blind another tech, and the problem on the scanner, or oscilloscope went away.

Hello Gayle , your vehicle does not have a flasher relay . The flashers are controlled by a computer or module . The ford SJB - smart junction box fords body control module . What is the problem you are having ? No hazard lights , no turn signals - none at all ,or flashing real fast ?

doesn't have one the flasher is part of the SLB..smart junction box.which means there is no Electronic Flasher..
not sure about your year but some years there was next to the inside fuse panel a switch that resets the electrical.
ck fuse 3 under the hood too.

First check fuse. If that's good replace flasher (there are 2 flashers, 1 for turn signals and 1 for emergency flashers)

under the dashboard

turn on hazard lights and listen for click and follow noise, there will be 2 flashers in this area. the 1 not clicking is the turn signal flasher.

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.

The 2 fuses are no 10 (7.5amp) and no 21(15amp) in the interior fuse panel.The flasher is located on the base of steering column under dash. See this this pic find connector c214 on bottom 3rd from right.
