ISSUE
Turn signals stopped working. Numerous members are saying they are having similar issues. The issue is caused by a connector in the steering column that breaks when the steering wheel is lowered.

I have an 2000 F-150 that lost all brake, turn and hazard lights plus the overhead light
. Replaced the flasher (it's under the dash above the gas pedal and you have to remove the front of the dash to get to it and even then it's a pain to get too) Anyway, the flasher didn't help so I took the MFS out of a working truck and still nothing. Put the MFS back in the other truck and it worked. On the fuse panel under the dash none of the fuses on the right side work and the lower center half is also dead. Found one loose wire but it didn't help when I pushed it back in. Anyone have any ideas?

No emergency lights

Check your Hazard switch
The Hazard switch is on top of the steering column, and over time all kinds of gunk gets in there. In my case, I replaced my headlights and taillights, and was checking bulb operation using the hazard lights. one less trip, right? When I was all finished I noticed my turn signals weren't working, turns out the hazard switch had not fully disengaged, a simple wiggle and all my turn signals returned. The hazards override the regular turn signals, and the switch wasn't fully coming back up. Hopefully, this helps someone else out, as it took me three days of checking wiring and checking bulbs and who knew that fuse existed before I figured that out,

My turn signals stopped working.......
Noticed it last night, thought it might "fix itself" today. Got in to go to work and started her up, tried the turn signals and they worked, both of them. Drove around the next courner, used the singals to indicate a left turn, like the good driver that I am, and they didn't work, both of them. Will try it agian when time to go home, but I'm sceptical.....
I don't think it is a fuse, because everything else seems to work just fine.
It was ranning last night and today, but I think I noticed it did this about two days ago, under bright blue clear skies. Besides, a little ran isn't supposed to do this to my turn signals.
I havn't done any electrical mods at all, bone stock.

PS have you tried to drive with out using your turn signals????? If I don't get this fixed soon, I'm going to get killed out there.
Any ideas??????

to repair the problem tie into the ground wire on the cigarette lighter, the black wire, and run a ground wire to ground on battery. Do not trust grounding on body or frame. The headlights and flashers, break lights, lighter are always hot and have there ground tied together. The blinkers and flashers are tied together. The blinkers are hot only when key is on. When head lights are on with key on position ground is being pushed backwards through blinkers from flashers. Adding ground to lighter , the black wire, to battery supplies enough ground for blinkers and flashers to work, and applying break to shift out of park when Head lights are on.
