Thanks G A. Is there anyway I can test it? Ford said 2 weeks before I can bring it in.

Thanks. So when I first push the stalk to indicate a turn, the first flash is at normal speed then it flashes fast like a bulb is bad after that. Never work at normal speed after that Also I have a display in the dash that states lr turn signal /check rr turn signal. So that sound like what you stated. Next step ?Thanks mark

Thanks. I thought they were just plugs. Also. Is there an easy way to disarm the airbag?

Thanks again for all your help. Can’t find the part locally except at ford and they want $238 for it. It’s a risky troubleshoot if I’m wrong.
