Turn signals

Okay so my left turn signal will not come on at all, I checked the fuses changed the relay even the switch And they still won't come on. When i turn on my hazards only the right come on but they stay lit. Im all out of ideas. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum

You should include YEAR of Ranger with questions
Assuming 1995

The 4-ways won't flash be cause there are only 3 bulbs working(one side), it needs 6 to flash

You will need to pull out the switch again and check the wires on that connector

Left turn's 3 bulbs are powered/connected using the one light green/white stripe wire
Right turn's 3 bulbs use the one white/light blue stripe wire

So the light green/white stripe wire is either not making a connection to the switch or is broken before it splits to the 3 bulbs on that side

On the connector is a Light Blue wire, that wire should have 12volts with Key ON, that 12v comes from the flasher, and it is working or Right turn wouldn't work
So you can use a Jumper wire from the Light blue wire to light green/white stripe wire and the left turn bulbs should start to flash..........if the light green/white stripe wire is OK

Flasher---(light blue wire)------multi-function switch connector--(JUMPER WIRE)--multi-function switch connector--------light green/white stripe wire--------3 bulbs---ground

If bulbs flash then wire is good and the problem is the connection at the switch, or INSIDE the switch, new or not

You can do the same JUMPER to the Right side turn wire(white/light blue stripe wire) and they should flash, just as a test that you are doing it right

And don't discount 3 burned out bulbs, while highly unlikely it is still "possible" so if you can swap either of the left right turn bulbs do it, just to take that off the table
