I noticed my interior light was on even though the switch was off. I took the bulb out. The next day I noticed the light over the bed was on and wouldn't go off. later that day, the right blinker began a fast blink indicating a bad bulb. I checked the bulb and it is fine.

This all happened within 2 days of being mobilized for a year.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Al

The interior light issue may be a door switch sticking. Fords are pretty notorious for that. As for the fast flashing turn signal, check all the bulbs again. I'm betting you missed one.
