i assume this is the dummy light for the brake warning switch? if not how would i fix it? it has new brakes lines and a master cylinder.

also if ya can help when i put mu left turn signal on it puts my 4 ways on but my E flasher switch doesnt work

Bad ground or bad bulb somewhere i would suspect rear bulbs crossing over.

the brake warning switch isnt in this problem. i think your porblem is the flasher cans. change both of them. unless someone has rewired the wiring in your truck. little more history on the truck mihgt help too. is this a new truck to you or have you had it for a long time? and has this problem just developed?

i'd start under the bed in the rear of the truck. sounds like someone has cross wired the turn signals into the brakes. or it could be a bad ground. the turn signal cam in the column could also be toast.

That was my first thought.

Sounds to me that your 4 way switch is on and the 4 way flasher is burned out. The fact that your indicater lights show while braking means that your front turn lights are coming on along with the rears indicating that your 4 way switch is turned on. Could also be no juice to the 4 way circuit(bad flasher or fuse).

yeah when i turn the 4 ways on nothing happens no flasher sound, when i turn my left turn signal on all 4 light up like if i had my flashers on. but when the right turn signal is on its only the right

well try changing the flasher cans. that wont hurt anything. and it is probably the problem.

I also wonder about the condition of your wiring underneath the cab/truck and just aunder thdash or even up under the hood on the driverside inner fender.

yeah it is. i know i have to look at everything really good cause this truck is old and it is all original cept the bed its from a 73-79

fordman · Post by **fordman** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 11:54 pm

so how is that bed put on your truck? did they drill new hole sinthe bed or make brackets to put the bed on the frame?

not sure really i gotta clean the bark and snow out of it cause i was wondering the same thing since the 67-72's are narrower. but i have a line on a really good 72 bed and parts truck to replace this one

since you said it has another bed i would make sure none of the rear light wires have been crimped by the bed. this will cause all kinds of wierd stuff to happen.
