1998 Ranger Turn Signal Problem - Need Help

Hello,

I connected a U-Haul trailer to my 1998 Ranger XLT over the weekend. In about 5 minutes my turn signals stopped working. No indicator light on the dash and no lights outside. I have looked for a fuse for the turn signals, but can't find the location. I did find the trailer turn right and left (#3 and #7) but neither was blown. I was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

your flasher relay prob burned out. it should be under dash to the left of steering column.silver/round looking. replace with a heavy duty one if you plan to tow alot.

Hi,

In case anyone else has a similar problem, I thought I would let you know what the problem was. The faulty trailer light connection had caused a problem in the computer. I disconnected the battery for a couple of minutes, then reconnected it. The problem was resolved. I think the problem may have been caused by corossion on the trailer light connector causing a poor connection.

Thanks,

Cecil
