Ok I really hope yall can help me out on my 1989 B2.

The turn signals and brake light on my driver side wont light or flash.

I have running lights at all four corners and the relay clicks normally in the dash. However, the indicator light does not light for the driver side either.

I replaced the bulbs and that didnt change anything.

Driver side also will not flash with passenger hazard lights.

I am open to all thoughts. Thank yall ahead of time for your ideas.

It's probably an open circuit. I'm not at the computer now, but you need a wiring diagram to trace that driver side circuit.

Thank you for your time. I will have to see if I can come up with some thing. Would you think my short would be between the multifunction switch and the dash light in the steering column or am I looking for connectors under the truck?

I'd bet your multi function switch is your issue. I had to replace the one in my '03 for similar problems.

At some point did Ford redesign the multifunction switch? The ones I am finding read "off-1-2-3-4-5-low-high" the one in my b2 currently reads (5-4-3-2-1-off-low-high). Will this new style work for me?

I would say that is the unit you want for your vehicle.
