My problem started when I put my left turn signal on and my low beams when off. Once I my turn signal was disengaged the lights came back on. If I had my brights on my signals worked fine. Infact, all parking lights, signals front and back, brake lights and high beams work. Now I have no low beams at all regardless if I put my turn signals on. I went to Ford and they suggested I replace the turn signal unit. I did that and I still have the same problem. I pulled both lamps from the truck and both elements are very much in tact. Does anyone have a solution?

Multifunction switch 99%
(as you called it the turn signal assembly)

I personalyl have replaced 3 second gen mutli function switches for this EXACT same problem and I have seen people solve this issue by replacing many more.

I also heard they can be taken apart and cleaned/rebuilt but with so many of them in the junk yard I never saw the need.
 






Thanks, I did replace the Multi Function Switch and unfortunately it did not correct my problem.
 






you did check the fuses correct?
 






I figured the fuses were fine since the high beams worked? I will go do that now. Thanks
 






his and lows dont share fuses I dont think, kinda a safety thing
 






Fuses are fine..........taking it to the shop.
