I have a 97 Ford F250 HD (old body style) with a 7.3 power stroke. The right and left turn signals work on the rear lights fine, but only intermittantly on the front lights. The dash indicator light doesn't work when the front signals aren't working and does when they are working. However, the turn signal clicking sound is always present. Any thoughts on what the problem is?

Hi eggen57, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation If its flashing on the back and half time on the front-The flasher is okay and fuse no.7 15amp. The turn signal circuit starts at the fuse thru the flasher then to the multifunction switch then to the lights then ground. Your multifunction switch needs checking -bad contacts within
