Default Ghost in My Machine

Hey folks. Bought my Ranger new in 02. It has been a faithful little truck that has stood up to much abuse.

I like really short walks in the rain and enjoy riding my 78 Honda Goldwing.

Looking for help with my lighting. It's doing weird things and turn signals not working, neither are my marker lights and 3rd brake light. Headlights and fog lights will flash at random. No bad fuses, maybe a relay? I will put an official post in the proper section for it.

So like running out to roll up your windows in the rain???

Hmmm.... have you replaced bulbs? The Turn signal has a switch and a flasher that could be the cause of those not working....

Headlights and foglights flashing at random could be a loose connection at the headlight switch. If you have factory fogs don't they only come on when the headlights are on?

Thanks for the welcome. I posted a new thread over in Electrical tech. RagerTom, I did a relay mod long time ago that made the fogs stay on all the time when the switch is on.
