How to Troubleshoot and Replace the Flasher Relay Relay on the Ford Explorer?

The turn signal switches and the hazard flashers are handled by a flasher relay, This particular component is located inside the fuse block and is available within the previous models up to 1993 while in the subsequent models 1994 and beyond this relay is sited within the instrument panel near the steering wheel column. But when working properly the flasher relay makes a clicking sound when the operation is in progress. If the turn signals do not work on one side, and the relay does not click it indicates that the turn signal bulb is bad. In case of non- blinking of both the turn signals, the problems can range from a fused out circuit, a faulty flasher relay, a defective switch or a bad connection. If the problem is in the turn signal fuse then one should pop the hood and check the fuse box to see if the turn signal fuse is blown then check the wiring for shorts before replacing the fuse. To replace the flasher relay the negative cable of the battery should be disconnected, then flasher has to be removed either by pulling it right out of the fuse box or electrical connector, and then one has to make sure that the new flasher is an exact match with the original flasher which has to be then installed in the fuse box or the instrument panel connector.

Ford Explorer Flasher Relay

The Ford Explorer Flasher Relay makes you signal for lane changes or indicate you're in distress by flashing the corner lamps rhythmically. This is helpful in increasing visibility and improving road manners. The early Ford Explorer models were equipped with a thermal Flasher Relay. It was a small cylindrical relay that sends low current through a spring steel strip. The heat from the current bends the steel, which closes the circuit. This lights the bulbs up and then cools down. The whole process repeats, producing clicks and flashes. As the lighting technology improved, later models of the Ford Explorer began using an electronic solid state Flasher Relay. This relies on a number of electronic components like transistors and timing chips to pulse current to multiple incandescent or LED lamps without allowing for heat buildup. This gave the signals much steadier timing, as well as compatibility with low-draw LEDs. Both styles sit in the fuse panel. The Flasher Relay plugs in easily. It activates the blinkers the instant you move the stalk. It keeps cycling as long as the lever is held. When the lights stop working or flash erratically, the driver will notice a failure. Therefore, ensure to replace the Ford Explorer Flasher Relay at once to signal properly in every situation.
