i have a 97 bronco xlt. when i put the left blinker on the front blinker works perfectly but in the rear, both the left and the right blinkers go on and flash. When i put the right blinker on, the front right works fine, but the rear right does not come on at all. I know the bulb isnt burnt out because like i said it comes on when you hit the blinker left. I think its a wire crossed somewhere. Where do i start? I just bought the car and dont know what the previous owner did to make this happen.

Thanks

yo,

You have a 1992 Bronco, correct? BTW, I am da Typo King! weally!

when turning on one circuit (by means of the Multi-Function Switch (MFS), turn signal/ws wiper washer, flash to pass, switch) it causes another to come on partially, check the ground for the lamp that was turned on first. This is caused by current going thru da bulb filaments & finding a ground for the other lamp...."

Ground Locations in 92-96; "...Haynes manual. They list 10 separate grounds... A-J. A. Starter mounting bolt B. Right front of Engine compartment near the battery C. Lower left front of engine D. Right front of engine compartment on upper radiator support. E. Left front of engine compartment Upper radiator support F. Bottom of cowl panel G. Rear of left fender apron H. Behind bottom of right cowl panel I. Left rear corner of cargo area near rear lamp assembly J. Under center rear of vehicle on rear cross member..."

im not sure if this applies to your newer model b-co, but i have an 87'. i had a helluva time trying to figure out why my blinkers weren't blinking properly. Turns out, the the way the bulb fits into the socket is kinda weird. you press the bulb in and turn (clockwise i think) to secure the little ****** on the end of the bulb into the groove inside of the light socket. if you push the bulb in more than necessary, it will still lock in and feel as though it is fitting into the dedicated groove on the socket, when actually it is pressed in too far. the sockets are quite easy to find at autozone, oreilly, etc. if all else fails, i would suggest, purchase a new socket and bulb. install correctly avoiding the situation i just described. not saying it will solve your problem, but it might!
