  Q: How are the turn signal and hazard flashers controlled, and what steps should be taken if they malfunction on Ford Excursion?

  A:

  Both the turn signals and the hazard flashers are controlled by an electronic flasher unit which can be found on 2001 and earlier models just below the steering column near the instrument panel on the right, or on the 2002 model behind the glove box in the relay #1 box. In normal condition, there is sound which is similar to a click during operation of the flasher unit. However, if the side turn signal indicator blinks much faster than usual the car's turn signal bulb is burnt out. If both signals do not blink, it is a problem with the bulbs if the fuses are blown; the flasher unit; the switch is broken; or if there are loose or open connections. Examining the fuse box and looking for a turn signal fuse that has blown is helpful and it is advised that before putting a new fuse in you look at the wiring and see if there is a short. For 2006 and later models, there are two fuses related to the turn signal lighting: There is one for the hazard flasher circuit and one for the turn signal circuit. For the flasher, there are plugs and sockets; to de-assemb1e simply unplug the connections and remove the screw of the flasher restraining clip. Make sure that the kind of unit assembled in the circuit is the same as the one removed by comparing it before fixing it which is done in the reverse way to the removal process.
