84" Ford Ranger XLT

[84' Ranger XLT]

Ive got 84' Ranger. Recently started having issues with the blinkers not working at all. I noticed the multi-function switch blinker lever was wore out and wasn't working properly and shortly after, the blinkers quit working. Replaced that with an over the counter part from Napa. Everything else still works, high beam, horn and hazards. I installed the new switch, and still no change. I've even replaced BOTH round relays on the fuse panel, one located on the backside directly from the front facing relay. I've traced back as far as I can go on the wiring of the truck and haven't found any shorts that I can see. I'm at a loss. This truck DOES NOT have any aftermarket lighting what so ever, all halogen stock bulbs. Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome!

Fuse 5, 15A, powers the turn signals; have you checked it?

You say the hazards do work, and it's on a separate fuse. If so I'd lean toward it being a power supply problem turn signal operation, which goes from fuse 5 to the flasher, then to the switch. You can also test for power in to the switch on the Lt Blue wire. See the schematic below.


The 1984 was good year model; I have one, too,

Beautiful. I must have looked over it when I was checking fuses, mine was sure enough busted. Replaced and back in working order! Thank you!
