    I apologize in advance if this question has already been asked before but I could not find the thread anywhere. I recently replaced a relay switch to the left of the steering wheel and thought it would solve all of my light problems. Instead all that works are my emergency flasher lights, I do not have left or right turn signal and no backup lights. Is there a separate relay for the turn signals and backup lights. it's not the balls because I replaced all of them with new ones. thanks in advance for all you guys help.

    Could be lots of issues. Grounds, fuses, bad turn signal switch, etc.

    Start by checking out all the grounds.

    P.S. Drive over to Don's house and get his help. :D

    He doesnt have to, I was at his house on Friday!:D

    I didnt have time to dig into it. I did find a second relay on an old wiring harness. One has 2 wires, one has3 wires. Tony, you can have one to try. I would think if it was the relay, the lights would come on and just not blink. The turn signal switch "feels" ok, but I know that doesnt mean anything.
