trunk wire rats nest

[Bob Gaines]

i read this online "Basically, the system works as follows: when the directional lever on the turn signal switch is moved, it completes circuits that select and feed power from the flasher to the corresponding bank of rear lights. Power for the lights is fed from the turn signal flasher through the turn signal switch to the sequencer and to the inboard light on the side selected. The center and outboard tail lights are controlled by the sequencer" this makes it sound like the dynomite stick is bad if this statement is accurate........

Yes but both went bad at the same time? Keep up the good fight.

Here is what it looks like to me if someone can confirm. Just speaking about the left side. It appears the power is coming from the green wire under the dash. There is a T that then jump off the green wire via a white wire and sends the power into the stick. It then appears the power should exit the stick via the red and yellow wires which would power the center and end lights. I can test the power entering the stick but it is not exiting via the red and yellow wires.

That said, and the fact that the inner most light is working leads me to believe the stick is dead. Thoughts on this logic?

Generally the reproduction turn signal switches are poorly made and fail frequently. Troubleshooting information here and the best parts available at any price:

NOS Ford turn signal switches are all over eBay and are worth the cost.

thanks Royce. When you say signal switches you are referring to the sequence sticks. Correct?

Here is a picture in case it helps, although it sounds like you are troubleshooting function rather than appearance.

You should include reference to Scott Fuller Reproductions website in your efforts regarding this.

No. The turn signal switch is in the steering column.
