Signal Flasher?

slingblade05 · November 13th, 2006, 01:30 AM

i have a 1990 mustang and i was wondering where the signal flasher is located as my signals dont work

ChrisJ · November 13th, 2006, 01:31 AM

Should be in the fuse box...

A big round metal looking thing...

slingblade05 · November 13th, 2006, 01:36 AM

thats the emergency flasher which is separate

ChrisJ · November 13th, 2006, 01:38 AM

Is it both of them? Are you sure the flasher is out?

If one of the bulbs is out the turn signal wont work...

Do you have a Chiltons? Or some kind of Repair Manual?

slingblade05 · November 13th, 2006, 01:43 AM

the bulbs?

theres no clicking and the signals on the instrument cluster dont work

ChrisJ · November 13th, 2006, 01:44 AM

Yeah when you have a bulb go out the dash wont flash and nothing will click...It will just light up the arrow...

Check you bulbs to see if they are even lighting up...

slingblade05 · November 13th, 2006, 01:46 AM

absolutely nothing works when i click the signals both ways

ChrisJ · November 13th, 2006, 02:00 AM

So the turnsignals outside the car dont even come on?

slingblade05 · November 13th, 2006, 02:05 AM

nope nothing

ChrisJ · November 13th, 2006, 02:14 AM

When did this happen?

I am trying to find an online repair manual becuase that would solve your problem...But I ahve not been able to find one...

slingblade05 · November 13th, 2006, 02:21 AM

thanks, well the horn doesnt work either, it happened after i took the steering wheel off to change the clock spring i think

Tony_90fox · November 13th, 2006, 02:22 AM

yeah, you must have unhooked something else too.

ChrisJ · November 13th, 2006, 02:28 AM

You should get an repair manual...Sounds liek you eithe rblew a fuse or did not hook something back up...

slingblade05 · November 13th, 2006, 02:31 AM

so it couldnt be the flasher?

ChrisJ · November 13th, 2006, 02:33 AM

It could be but since your horn is not working as well I would say it is a fuse or you did not hook something back up...

If it was just the signals then I would say it could be the flasher...

slingblade05 · November 13th, 2006, 02:37 AM

i think the horn was after though

ChrisJ · November 13th, 2006, 02:40 AM

So did it all work before you took it apart?

Horn and Turnsignals?

Can you flip your high beams on and off?

Just trying to see if the switch is working at all on that lever...

dr.gonzo! · November 13th, 2006, 11:20 AM

I had a hell of a time finding mine. mine was on the back of the fuse box I channged it nothing happend then I had to lay down on my back and look under the dash(way up there) to the bolts holding the fuse box you might see another flasher. mabey blue or silver. hope this helps

OTreborO · November 13th, 2006, 02:28 PM

E-Flashers are on thr Fuse Box, Turn signal Flashers are behind the radio, on a bracket, usually Blue plastic.

I would say one or more of your wires is loose on the back of the steering columb.

There are 3-4 harnesses that plug into the steering column. I was having a prob with my turn signals and I found out that the plastic harness had a broken tab that was allowing the wire to not properly seat. I just crimped the wire, and made it grip a little tighter for now. I will eventually get a new entire plastic harness assembly. I would check all of the wires and harnesses on the steering column. Sounds like 2 of them are loose to me
