Hello everyone. I'm new to the site but need some help.
I've got a 94 Ranger, 2wd, 4L, manual.
Here are my symptoms:
-w/ lights on, left-rear turn signal comes on (does not flash & front stays off)
-w/ lights on & left signal on, rear signal stays solid & front signal comes on solid
-w/ lights off & left signal on, all four signals flash...like hazards
-this all happens when it's really cold...like <15 deg. If the weather warms up a bit, everything's normal
Troubleshooting electrical stuff has never been one of my strengths, but my gut tells me it's a grounding issue, and there might be some moisture in a connection that's freezing & thawing. My Haynes book tells me there are separate grounds for the front & back, but it doesn't say where. It's 12 degrees outside, so I was hoping someone might know where to look.
Or if you think this is caused by something else, I'm all ears.
Thanks in advance!
