This by far, IMHO, the best video on this R/R procedure. I did not use tape, I used a Dremel to trim the opening on the left. My flasher (1999 F250 SuperDuty XL), was on the right, not the left. The learning curve can be steep for this, but once you know how, EASY PEASY!

@ZeroFuelRequired 2 жыл бұрын

From other peoples comments some flasher relays have been on the left and some on the right. The harness they are plugged into must be able to be flipped one way or the other. So when it was being built in the factory it didn't matter which way it went on. Anyway...I thought of sanding down the edge but I going for a quick and easy repair. It'll hopefully be a long time to I replace it again. Thanks for the tip and your comment 😉👍

Just a quick follow-up. I ordered a relay on Amazon and it fit ok, BUT, it constantly ticked immediately when installed (ignition off). Found out from further research that it must be LED "compatible". Which means it will work with halogen, led, and or a combo of both. I found Novita EP27 for $15.99 at Auto Zone here in So. Cal. Popped it in and it works great. Cost a bit more than Amazon, but worth it. Thanks again for your great video

Not to hop on OP’s video but for us bigger fellas the easiest way for me to get it out was to put truck down to 1 gear and remove dash bezel and remove the radio and there is plenty of room to get your hand in there to remove the relay and place a new one in its place. I fought with trying it this way but I couldn’t see it. I removed the radio and I saw it right in the way 5 minute fix max.

Awesome! This is the way to do this. As an additional note... You can see the orientation of the flasher socket in case you forget when you take it out. It goes in with a little force but not alot. The cap is kind of tricky but you can feel all the way around the flasher socket assembly to determine when the cap and the tabs are seated properly. The tall part of the cap goes over the flasher relay. The other two relays next to it are shorter than the flasher relay. The whole thing is super fast to do.

Thank you so much for this video! I watched this, got the part added to my shopping cart and then decided to do a dry run before purchasing (I don't know how many times I have purchased something for the truck after watching a video that makes it look so easy and then find out my truck is different for some reason). On my 2006 F-350 (Powerstroke) the "ash tray" compartment is about a forearm's length to the left, so when I pop it out (no screw removal at all) the flasher module is literally right behind it. As long as I stand on my head, I can get my arm in at the right angle to pull off the black cover and pop out the blue OEM flasher. Again, thanks for your video and tips. It gave me a good idea of where to start.

Start with the easy stuff, Check fuses, there is a fuse panel inside under the dash and a fuse panel in engine compartment look for blown fuse, check wiring harness grounds(-) to the body. Look for damage to wiring harness in door jam and trace wiring in engine compartment to front signal look for damage. Check all connectors in harness for corrosion. Check the bulbs themselves for corrosion in light sockets. Check with a volt meter if there is 12volts coming to light socket. I hope this helps. Good luck.

It's tight in there. Squeeze it and wiggle at the same time. Or find someone with a smaller arm that might be able fit in there easier to grip and press the release tabs. I hope this helps and thanks for the comment.

I've been driving the farm truck which is a 2001 f250 for over 5 years and didnt know that was a ashtray let alone it flipped out.

If I would have known it was a ashtray it would have been filled with change 1000 times by now.

Having trouble getting the relay out, its stuck like glue. But its warm to the touch, which i take is not a good sign

@ZeroFuelRequired 10 ай бұрын

Try wiggling it from side it side, it's hard to reach. If it's stuck really bad and you can't get it to move or come out. you might have to pull your radio and go in from the top.

@ZeroFuelRequired thanks, i got it and it was the problem, fixed the break lights too, which i didnt even know was a related circuit

I tried this way, could not get the relay out, I then pulled the raid up and it’s right there, much easier

@randyjohnson4007 Жыл бұрын

Anyone have experience going through the radio? I've heard that is a good option.

@ZeroFuelRequired Жыл бұрын

You can go through the radio to reach the relay also. But radios can be difficult for some people to remove if you don't have the right tools. Factory radios can be a pain. Which ever way you think is easier. Thanks for the question and good luck.

So in the truck I’m working on there seems to only be one relay, and it is on the right hand side (towards the front of the truck) there is an empty space for a relay on the left. I tried pulling the right one out but it is stuck and I can’t for the life of me get it out of there. Any advice?

@ZeroFuelRequired 4 жыл бұрын

It'll come out, just wiggle it. It's odd that there isn't another relay in that block. It's a flasher blower relay block. Like it sounds it Contains the flasher relay and the fan blower relay. If you are missing one in would guess something isn't working lol. Maybe you can get in there with a small channel lock pliers or vise grips just to get a better grip to wiggle it out. Don't crush it. Thanks for the question good luck. 😁👍

I know this is off topic, but would you know where the fuel pump relay is located? Some say it’s behind the radio. Not sure.

@ZeroFuelRequired 4 жыл бұрын

In this video when I show a picture of where there flasher relay is inside the dash. The fuel pump is the other one in the picture. The relay only turns on for 20 seconds then shuts off to prime the system so the truck will start. Hope this helps thanks for the question.

Maybe a far reach, but i have trouble with my left side turn signal lights staying solid, including the indicator in the dashboard. But the right side works as normal. Is there two relays? Or can one bad create this problem?

@ZeroFuelRequired 2 күн бұрын

Sounds like you have a bulb out in the front or rear. Or maybe a bad ground wire to the body somewhere..

Would this fix my issue I have on my truck? It's a 2001 Ford F250 and when I have the 4 ways or left side blinker on they work fine but once I hit the brake they stop flashing and then when I let off the brake they start flashing again

@ZeroFuelRequired 4 жыл бұрын

The problem you mentioned can be the result of a bad ground. When you operate both blinkers and brake lights and the blinkers stop blinking, it’s because the circuit is not good enough to operate both lights. Same with headlights and blinkers. Solution is the add an additional ground for the tail lights. Tail lights are the farthest away from the battery. Find the ground wire in each tail light assembly and add an additional wire and connect it to a good solid metal point and your problems should be gone! If not, Check your light bulbs, the two filament bulbs can short out when one filament breaks and touches the other filament, electricity back feeds when the brake is applied. Make sure you have the right bulbs in and check the wiring harness going to your lights for chafing / bare wires and take a look inside the light assembly for any short circuit. Also any additional light like the third brake light could short. Also to check make sure trailer light plug isn't shorted Inside, it can do it too. Or trailer plug wiring is incorrectly wired. Good Luck

What were the symptoms? I have continuous clicking sound that won’t go away after the signals and hazard are returned to off position so is that what you had?

@ZeroFuelRequired 2 жыл бұрын

When my relay quit, it just stopped working all together. A LED compatible relay will click a few times after the turn signal is shut off. It sounds like , if yours is continuing long after you use the turn signal or flasher you have another problem. It's a good possibility that you have a short that is feeding power to the circuit for the relay. The short could be in column or the multifunction turn signal switch. Thanks for the question.

@dasteufelhund 2 жыл бұрын

@@ZeroFuelRequired Just following up with this, it turns out the other possibility may be the multifunction switch or also known as the turn signal unit. The entire lever and the housing that is in the steering column may be the culprit. I tried a new relay but it didn't fix my problem.
