2002-2005 Ford Explorer: Turn signal stops blinking.

Sun, 27 Jul 2025 11:58:13 -0700

When I turn on my turn signal, sometimes it doesn't blink at all. Other times it blinks a few times and stops. The control lever was broken when I got the vehicle and I thought that was the cause but replacing the lever did not fix the blink issue.
