Left rear brake and turn signal not working

goosegunner · #1 12-08-2007, 08:22 PM

I have a 97 Expedition the left rear brake light and turn signal are not working. The front left is working but it flashes very fast. The arrow indicator on dash flashes fast with left turn but not right.

I changed the bulb with the recommended bulb 3157LL but it still does not work. It is a dual filament. The one that I removed was a 3156K single filament.

Any Ideas on how to fix?

I am having the same problem on my 98 F150. Not sure what to do.

my cousin calls that the "ricer" turn signal... you guys have blown bulbs.. when your turn signal goes ricer on u it means that on that side there is a bulb out, so goose, ure left rear turn/brake bulb is blown, it might turn on with the parklamps, but the stop/brake part of the bulb, the filament, is burnt.

i have a 98 150 w/same trouble and all the bulbs wer good. 4 a short time if i tilted my column all the way up it would work properly.but not now. it could be a bad wirein the column or the multifunction switch (connected 2ur turn signal handle)i was told 1 part of that switch can go bad.but they cost 100 to 200,dollars. too much 4 me if it doesnt fix the problem.mine is the right side i hope somebody helps us soon
