Turn Signal

[rkj082000]

Have a turn signal problem. My turn signals (1997 Explorer Sport) stopped working yesterday. This morning I looked outside and the left turn signal was on (light flash in dash and relay clicking).

I got in the truck and started it but could not turn it off with the MFS stalk. I went for a ride and turned the steering wheel all the way to the left (heard the click that would normally turn off the signal) but the signal refuses to turn off. My wipers and windshield wash work.

After searching here, I am leaning towards a bad MFS, however I have not seen anyone post saying that the MFS caused the turn signal to get stuck on. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Not sure if this applies to your '97 Sport, or if you have a tilting column.
Before buying a new MFS, or disassembly, tilt the column all the way UP. Maybe?

Thanks, I will give that a try!

One new piece of information:

My gf drove the truck yesterday, I asked her if she tilted the wheel. She replied she had not, but did turn the hazards on when she pulled over to turn on the GPS, then said "oh yea the signals stopped working after I did that"
