So last night i went thru a puddle on a trail that was a little bit to deep. water came over hood on left side. water poured into the truck. truck instantly shut down. Luckily my friends 7.3 was right there. Got the truck running. Now i dont have blinkers front or back. the 3rd brake light does work. the parking lams front and back do work. Any help is great.

Also sould i pull the rubber floor out to let the foam under it dry? anything else im forgetting

did you check the fuses? and what is the exact problem? they just dont flash when you try to turn them on or they dont work all together?

 

Yes, pull the floor and let the insulation dry

 

Check under the hood fuses. Pull the battery? Let the whole truck dry out for a day or two. Put it back together. Should work.

 

you shorted out your wiring system, check the wires and fuses.
or put some blinker fluid back in it.

 

avoid swimming with your truck in lakes?...nah im just playing. definitely check fuses. thats my only guess. but i am wondering how water poured into the truck? windows down while hardcore off-roading?

 

My turn signals and hazard lights stopped flashing recently on my 2010 FX4 (while driving around town). The problem was the flasher relay. Not sure where this relay is located and if it's vulnerable to water from a puddle.

found the problem. blinker relay. filled with mud. oil was the collor of coffee with cream

 

What's the fix? Where is the relay located?

Dave

 

In the fuse box under the hood. Look in your owners manual.

 

came in thru the doors. and truck shut off so i had to get out and hook up a chain so my buddy could pull me out. water was 6'' below the head light switch on the dash

 

blue flasher relay under the dash. mud got in it when the tsunami came in. got a new one all good. pulling the floor out tomorrow and the seats

 

That's quite the "puddle."

Thanks for the reply. My stock flasher relay only lasted 16,000 km (10,000 miles). Not sure if it's one off or something that will be an ongoing issue.
