Break lights flash instead of blinkers

[johnnyboxturtle]

I recently received a 92 explorer xl from a friend. The blinkers were not working in any way. I replaced the buss flasher and now they work, sorta, the breaklights flash and the blinkers do nothing. I'm not sure what to do next.

On the 1991-1994 Explorers, the brake light is the turn signal. There's only 3 elements on each side: 1 for backup, 1 for marker lights and 1 for brake/turn. Sounds normal to me. Or perhaps you mean that the rear turn signals work but the fronts don't?

Check the rear bulbs and make sure the the contacts arnt covered in corrosion. The bulb can blow and cross contacts internally and cause the your issue.
