Does the truck have a cop system or coil packs. If coil packs follow the #7 plug wire to the connection.

#1 cylinder is the first cyl on the right bank look forward. They are numbered 1,2,3,4 right bank
5,6,7,8 Left bank.

The flasher is located directly under the steering col under the dash.

You can always tell #1 cyl, it is the 1st cyl on the head that sticks out. Good luck

There are two, one for the turn signals and one for the emergency flashers.

Missing the front trun signals could be a turn signal switch problem. I do remember on some Fords there was a fuse for the front. It would be a 10 amp in the underhood. There are no marking so check them all by pulling and looking. Check it out.

Suggested Repair

On the 1997 Expedition 5.4 coil-pack engine, follow the #7 plug wire to the coil. Looking forward, cylinders 1-4 are the right bank and 5-8 the left bank, so #7 is the third cylinder on the left bank. There are two flashers: one under the steering column for turn signals and one for hazards. If the front signals and hazards still fail after replacing the dash flasher and checking fuses, inspect the remaining flasher and the turn-signal switch; some Fords also use an unmarked 10-amp underhood fuse for the front signals.

Conversation Summary

The owner asked where the #7 coil is on a 1997 Ford Expedition XLT 5.4L and later where the flasher is. The expert said to follow the #7 plug wire, with cylinders 1-4 on the right bank and 5-8 on the left bank looking forward, so #7 is on the left bank. The turn-signal flasher is under the steering column, and a second flasher serves the hazards. After the owner replaced the dash flasher and checked fuses but still had no front signals or hazards, the expert suggested a possible turn-signal switch fault and an unmarked 10-amp underhood fuse on some Fords.
