No Brake Lights, No Turn Signals!!!!!

MVPJEFFMVP · 03-08-2006, 07:48 PM

Help! I have a 1997 Econoline E250, and I turned on my 4-way flashers, didn't work, so then I put on my rt. turn signal, and since then, turn signals do nothing, don't even flash on the dash. Then, today, I had someone check my brake lights, and didn't work!!! So, I have no flashers, OR brake lights. Checked all fuses I "Thought" it could be, and they all seemed fine. Is there a specific fuse that would control both of these that I could change? What would it be called? I don't have an owners manual for the van, but printed out what seems to be the correct fuse panel diagram. Thanks in advance for the help.

Anyone else know what fuse it might be? Or at least what the fuze might be called? Thanks..

Yes, IF the fuses are all good, and I would bet that they are you need a new "Multi-Function Switch".

They are easy to replace, as they are simply bolted to the left side of the steering column and covered with a plastic cover held togather by 3 or 4 screws from below. You would need a "Torx" style screwdriver to remove the switch, but the screws for the cover are phillips.

Cost, $50 to $80 normally.
