- If it ain't broke, break it so you have to fix it.
I have a 1997 Mazda B4000 SE 4L V6, think top of the line Ranger XLT / Auto, no tilt column.
I am at wit's end, a while back the Hazard switch started acting up, pushing the button on the top of the steering column I'd hear a faint "crackling" sound from that area, the Hazard Flasher might - might not work. Seems the turn signals also started failing too. Common logic said the MFS was failing, read lots of others complaining of the same problem / same solution. Eventually the Hazard and Signals failed totally. NOTE: Everything else on the MFS WORKED - High Beam, Wipers and Washer. .... Yeah so got off duff finally a year later, ordered a replacement MFS, dropped the bottom and top clamshell cover pieces, replaced the MFS and expected all to be well ..... NOT.
I've check the #21 and #10 fuses and they are whole.
I've looked under the dash, left and right of the steering column and I'll be damned if I can find the Flasher Module. What the _______? Everyone seems to claim on a 96-97 Ranger / B-4000 it's there to the right of the steering column .... sorry NOT.
I could really use some help figuring out what the issue is. - New MFS, fuses are good. Where the H**L is the Flasher Module and which one is right (part number) for a 1997?
Thanks, folks.
