Check the ground at the turn signal light.

First off, do you have a wiring harness for a trailer? If so has somebody sliced into the factory harness or is it a plug in adapter for the trailer harness? If the factory harness has been spliced chances are it wasn't done properly and you have corrosion problems like mine had. 9 times out of 10 people who slice the wires just cover the connections with electrical tape. My suggestion is re splice it but this time instead of using butt connectors, use shrink tube (Grote P/N 84-5006 dual wall is the best). Trust me, I build harnesses for logging trailers, so you need something that keeps out the moisture, and this stuff works awesome. I've never had a harness I built come back with problems, and I never had a problem with my truck harness since I redid the wiring at the back. :icon_thumby: Good luck with that and I hope that this helps.

Do you have red or amber turn signals on the back?, ie. is the rear four or five wire.? I would guess it's four wire and the problem is you turn signal switch.

The 96 B4000 has a five wire system (seperate turn signal from brake light)

If you shoot it you will then have body work to do also. You'd probably run out of ammo before you killed it completely.

They are usally pretty reliable trucks. :dunno: It looks like your best friend will be one of those Haynes manuals though. The pumps are pretty easy to change, just follow the step by step instructions in the manual, or you might want to try googling 1996 ranger p/s pump replacement.
