Help!!!

Ok today I put a new window shield in my pick-up well I got off work and was at the stop light and I looked down after I flipped on the blinker and there was nothing, the light wasn't on. So I got home and checked to see if I had blinkers I had nothing. Now don't forget that I posted recently that I had no dash lights. What do you guys think is wrong? This is something that I need to fix ASAP!!! PLEASE HELP AND GIVE ME SUGGESTIONS!!

No the flasher RELAY, not the hazard flashers. The flasher relay is what makes the clicking sound when the signals blink.
Im more inclined to say its a bad switch though.

do you have brake lights or reverse lights? do your hazzards work of you put those on? do you have dash lights? parking lights? headlights? check to see if all of those are working or which ones arent and also check the fuse for the directionals.

Haha....funny guys...the muffler bearings....well screw them! There is no such thing! ....the real problem is the flasher relay. Yes cadilla you were right! Then the dash lights I dunno whats wrong...its got to be a short in the wires between the stereo and lights! And I'm not good with wires...I don't have the patience!

Question?

When your windshield was broken did you notice any wet carpet?
Maybe you got water in the dash somewhere? You may get lucky and be able to follow a trail of dried rain along connections. Then you can open the connections, clean and use some di-electric grease to seal when you put back together. Some electronic people could give you more complete directions.

No, I know no water or anything got into my windshield. I just had a really bad crack across it! I know the dash lights is a short and the blinkers are the flasher relay!

First, check to make sure that your Hazzard switch is not partially depressed and cycle it on and off a few times to make sure, if this switch sticks it will cancel the turn signal function as well.
If not,
Fuse #5 should be your turn signal fuse. The circuit consists of the fuse, the multifunction turn signal switch, and flasher. These in turn send power to the individual lamps.
Step one is to check the fuse, if the fuse is good, try wiggling the turn signal switch a bit, try to see if moving the switch slowly lights any of the lights even if its only a short flash.
Ford has had a history of these switches failing as well.
