Hi, Everyone
This is my first post and I thought this would be the best place to turn to for answers to my Explorer question that I just cant figure out.
Ok here goes - I have 97 Eddie Bauer and the turn signals stopped working. One night they were working fine. I was using my hazards as I was backing my trailer into my driveway, and then the next day -nothing. The parking lights still work. I checked all my bulbs and they were fine. I checked all fuses in the fuse box and they were fine. I did notice that the turn signal flasher relay under the dash, was not making that "click-click" sound so I changed that out, but still nothing! I'm stumped friends and I could really use some help. Its very cold here in NY and its such a pain to keep lowering my window to use hand signals in order to let other drivers know that Im making a turn...lol. This is what I've been having to do! LoL.
Also, a side note I found out that a brand new signal flasher relay for my model Explorer has one less prong than the original did that Ford made for the truck in 97. The parts guy at the dealer assured me that Ford purposely eliminated this extra prong and that the new realy should work, but no luck.
I'd appreciate any help from anyone out there. Please be my saviors. Also if anybody out there lives in Suffolk County, NY - please give me a shout.
Thanks Very Much,
-Stevie
