I searched on here how to fix my turn signals so they flash like normal... swapping the flasher relays worked perfect!

The next items I need to figure out are:
Reverse lights, inop. (need to check the switch)
Horn, inop.
Windshield washer pump, inop.
Cigarette lighter, inop.

Checked fuses and they all seem fine. Are these items all tied in somewhere else? The other option would be to replace the fuse box if the connections seem bad.

Thanks again!

Hey audiquattro

Yer on the right track.
You just need to followup on each circuit.
Windshield washer pumps can be checked with a couple of test leads...
Two wires with alligator clips on each end. Hook pos to pos / neg to neg... the pump should talk to ya and let ya know if it is workin'.
If it does, then you 'll haveta start chasing down the circuit, if it doesn't, it's prolly the pump itself...
Basically, repeat the above process for each accessory until you figure out what's goin' on.
Do you have a multi meter? If not that's the best place to start. You don't need a fancy smancy one, that sets ya back $100.00 +
I picked one up at Harbor Freight for less than $3.00 and it works great.

If you run into any that you can't figure out, shoot Thunderfoot a PM, He's our resident sparky.

the horn could be in the steering wheel. the brush could be bad.

for the rest of that stuff remove the fuses and clean the fuse holder tabs then put new fuses in.

for the reverse lights what transmission do you have?

I've got a F100 3-speed, on the tree.

I think the fuse box is the culprit... I'll have to get to that after Disneyland!!

the reverse light switch will be on the bottom of the column. if its broekn or not there that may be the problem. if not check as above.

If the wipers are working, the fuse for the washer isn't bad.

The wipers are NOT fused and the washers do not get there power from the wipers... FYI - The wiper switch has a built in circuit breaker for the wipers.
The washers are on their own fuse that also shares the its power with the Backup lights and the Turn Signals, so beings your Turn Signals are working then that fuse and the fuse box is fine for the washer and backup lights.

I agree get a test light and check out the washer pump, and check the bulbs as 70-F100 directed.
The backup lights could be the switch as Fordman directed.

On the horn, check the horn relay on the fender by the battery it is the third most common problem after the horn brush in the steering wheel and the horn itself being bad. You can check the power to the horn with the test light as well.
