Turn signals

Post by Andyskitmore »

Brand new to the forum. 71 f100 and just had her in to have steering column fixed. Now turn signal not working. Replaced fuse twice but blew every time. I am not mechanical, just love driving the truck. Thanks for your help

Welcome.

Tell us more about what was done to the column.

Turn signals, emergency flashers and horn all go through the column. Sounds like wires got crossed.

Shifter was hard to engage, so they are freed that up and realigned everything. Now perfect. Horn needed a couple of new springs, so they disconnected. That could be the issue. I am going to check if emergency flashers are working.
