I have a '97 F150, and recently the blinkers flash rapidly, but only when the truck is in Drive or Reverse. When the key is taken out of the ignition, the truck is off but the radio stays on, so do the outside running lights. Is this a bad relay switch or a short somewhere possibly? I also hear some clicking noises behind the dash sometimes since this started. Any advice/help is greatly appreciated!

 

Investigate GEM module problems due to windshield leaking.

Thank you so much, I never noticed anything leaking around the windshield but I will have it looked at... Hopefully the GEM isn't a dealer item! Thanks again! Also, would you happen to know where the GEM is located?

 

Its mounted right behind your interior fuse panel. I have the same problem and it is a factory item unless you can find it on ebay...but make sure the numbers match exactly.

 

... this is a great site and I appreciate the replies to my post. Thanks again.

 

also, if you before changing the fuse panel make sure you check any posible lick, otherwise, the problem keep coming back, it happen to me and all the mony I spend gone, brand new fuse panel damaded for the second time.

 

If you an clean and dry rhe conection most the time you dont have to change the part, just try it.
