Howdy, I have a 1996 Ford Explorer XLT. It's left blinker and all other lights work besides the right blinker. Sometimes it works and other times I hear loud buzzing sound comming from the stearing wheel and no blinking light. Does anybody know what the problem is?
Sounds like the electric flasher relay is defective.

Just found the answer on another site. Sure enough went out removed the 3 philips head screws in the steering column opened it up and walla a wire connection had pulled itself free. When my son uses my truck he always uses the tilt steering, when I get in I have to readjust it. because of this the wire connection pulled itself out. I simply pushed it back in an blinker and brake light are now working. My husband is now trying to figure a way to secure the wire connection so it doesn't pull itself out again. Hope this helps others, either by saving the cost of a dealership or machanic or from getting rear ended.

Just fixed my flashers today on my 95 explorer, All my lights worked but no turn signals or emer flashers. First make sure all lights are working. Next check the fuses on the left side of the dash, I believe # 10 & # 11, if all is good you can replace the flasher relay, which actually called a flasher unit, or just flasher, Note : that did'nt work for me, but it is located under the dash even with the stering column, it is a small yellow or green box, mine was attached by plastic clips, just twist back an forth till it comes off, now let it hang down , being carefull not to pull on the wires, and use a screw driver to disconnect the box, its not very easy, the New flasher unit will have 5 prongs and the old will probibly have 6 prongs, don't worry the small 6th one doesn't connect to anything anyway. just plug the new one in and put it back up under the dash. My Problem was simply the emer flasher button on top of the stering column it must have a loose connection, because all I did after all that was to lift it up with the key on and jiggle it then pushed it back down , I turned the turn signal on and nothing, then left the turn signal on and jiggled the emer flasher button again when it was down, and I had turn signals, no problem since, but remember to leave the button down!!

you need to go back over all the bulbs. Take each one out and put it back in making sure its working properly. Most likely a bulb is not grounding. I had this on a f-150 that took two days to track down. Good luck
SOURCE: right read blinker/break light dont work, turn signal blinks rapidly
It's the bulb. There are two filliments in the bulb. One is for when you turn your lights on and the other is for breaking and blinker flashing. When the break filliment goes bad it causes the blinker to flash very rapidly. 100% the bulb. Change it and all will be good again. P.S. if it were a fuse none of the break lights or blinkers would work.

HI:
When your blinker blinks really fast, it is usually because one of your bulbs is burnt out. To check this, either have someone watch them, or turn on your 4 way hazard flasher and walk around the car.
