toxicjn Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Yesterday morning my right turn indicator did the typical thing when you have a light burned out. After finding out the issue was with my right rear turn light I pulled off the housing and removed the bulb. After checking the bulb elements for continuity I found it wasn't the bulb that was the issue, instead the voltage to one of the bulb elements was not the expected 14VDC but instead near 0V. If the voltage at the connector was fixed at zero I would check connections, but it was not fixed, rather it was changing with the front turn light. Yesterday evening I needed to run an errand and the turn indicator started working. But now today it has stopped working again. It has been terribly cold here the last few weeks and I am thinking maybe there is an issue with a relay if Ford has not replaced the electro-mechanical relays with solid state relays in the 2010 models. Has anybody come across this issue or have any thoughts as to where I should look next? Edited December 10, 2013 by toxicjn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12Edge Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 The built in turn signals do not use relays. They are powered directly by the body control module. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
