Get a multimeter check for DC voltage at the light sockets. No voltage means blown fuses. You can also use the multimeter to check the bulbs to see if they have somehow blown.

SOURCE: turn signal quits

check to see if the flasher is weak, a quick way to test it is to swap it with the flasher for the 4 ways ( hazard lites ) and try it.

SOURCE: left and right rear brake lights are out. center

it sounds like you need to replace the turn signal switch ( also known as a multifunction switch). The brake lights also go through that switch; You will have to remove the cover from around the lower part of the steering column to gain access to the switch.Hope this helps. Please leave comment.

1999 Ford Ranger. Front passenger side marker light does not turn on, but works as a blinker. The bulbs are good and are correct (3157). Also, the blinker blinks fast. Is this the relay even though the...

There should two separate bulbs for marker and blinker. It sounds like a bulb is burnt out, bad ground, melted socket or a wiring anomaly. Are you certain it's supposed to have 57 series dual element bulbs for blinker and markers?

Right front bulb comes and goes on and off, hence when on blinker works when off, no blinker

Check the front socket where the bulb goes. Those cars are known for overheating the sockets. Take out the bulb and look inside the socket, it will probably look burnt, as will the contacts on the bulb itself. The socket is replaceable and available everywhere

Both bulbs on my 2002 S10 Blazer licence plate was burned out I replased them with new bulbs and they will not come on and I have checked the fuses what could be the problem?

you need to check for power and for ground at the lightbulb socket to determine which is not contributing to power the bulb(s). If the marker lights work at the rear then suspect a broken/melted light bulb socket, broken wire, or broken/rusted ground connection. Again, check at the light bulb socket for ground on one side (black wire) and 12V (brown wire) on the other. The light socket should have terminals that actually touch the light bulb; sometimes the sockets will melt not allowing a good connection. a cheap harbor freight multimeter (VOM) will help. Right and left side use separate fuses

Pull that bulb out and look closely at it, it'll probably have one of the filaments(Tungsten wires) broken and crossed over to the other one causing a short to power and/or the bottom of the bulb has had the 2 lead contacts melt together. In either case the bulb will need to be replaced. If this doesn't fix the problem please let me know so I can look into it further.

LEFT BLINKER RUNNING AT HIGH BLINK RATE

Make sure bulb replaced is the required 2 way or 1 way. If you're sure you put in the right bulb type (1 way or 2 way) 6 or 12 volt.. bulb model marked on side for replacement (Check carefully). Assuming its the right bulb type and still blinks fast, you will have to replace the socket. Sockets do get corroded and worn. Disconnect the battery, cut positive then cut negative. Wire up new socket same way using wire connectors. Tape up connections after.
Should then work.
Make sure before you do this you have the right bulbs in all sockets (front and rear) and that all lights work 1st. One failing light front rear same side can cause this problem.
Go to a scapper to get a socket.. just cut it off a wreck... take a couple of them. There cheap.
Good luck

Front blinker and run light don't work

Look at the second page of the diagram at the link. The flag "E" in lower right has power coming from the switch. It goes to the instrument cluster, right mirror turn indicator, and right front turn bulb. Is the instrument panel light blinking? How about the mirror? Use these facts to find the break in the wire. If none of these lights is blinking, the switch may be broken, as yadayada indicates. See page 1 at the link. It has a separate contact for the rear light, which is why the back can work and not the front, even though the switch is broken.
