Hey guys new to the site because I need a question answered.

I have a 94 ranger 4.0 5spd 2wd and the right turn signal doesn't work correctly. The left turn signal works continuously and is fine; but the right only works intermittently. I can almost always get it to turn on by turning the wheel two clicks to the right by hearing the turn signal canceller click. The times it won't work it shows the dash light stuck in the on position like their might be a burnt bulb but again as you continue turning the wheel it always comes on.

But.... Even when the turn signal is working (both front and back) both of the tailights are flashing as well. The emergency flasher was bad and replaced that. The emergency flashers work fine now, but the tailights flash the miscellaneous times that the turn signal actually kicks on.

Also, when the cruise is on going down interstate the cruise control is cancelled when I turn 0n the right turn signal. Left turn signal and cruise no problems, only right.

I was thinking that it could be in the combination switch (heard that there could be a loose wire so I wiggled them all and couldn't get any change in condition). Thinking it could be flasher units but checked those both seem to be good now. Checked every fuse-all good. Could it be in my trailer lights wiring. This problem just started long after the trailer hook up was wired.

Help me out with the probably simple solution guys!!!!

If you have a trailer connector the problem is probably where it connects into the harness.

It could be the bulbs are burnt out and have to replace them. I just replaced one of my front blinker lights. When one is burnt out the indicator flashing light on the dash board blinks very fast when I put it on for a turn.
