Please run down this guide and report back.

Have you checked the switch?

Your turn signal flasher relay has failed. You will need to replace it, it is located on the front of the fuse block

As each bulb has two filaments one is obviously blown in each bulb. You will need to replace them. Buy 2 1157 bulbs.

3157 is just a newer style bulb. You need to buy a test light. Check to see if your getting voltage at the sockets when the lever is pushed up or down. You will also need to replace the turn signal switch. But let's get the lights working now.

So you're not receiving a voltage signal to the wires right behind the socket?

Good evening,

Switching fuses does nothing.

The difference is the multi function switch. It has different contacts with 4 ways than it does with 2 way or just turn signals.

I attached the wiring diagram for you to view. I would replace the turn signal switch.

Hi,

I read through your post. As a result, I opened up the wiring schematic from Ford it look at the signal lighting circuit. Based on what I am seeing, this isn't an issue with wiring causing two opposite sides not to work. Interestingly, the hazard lights, which you indicate work, use the same wires, but they are switched from a different location. Based on that, I feel ASEmaster is correct. If you look at the first two pics below, you will see how the signal switch has four different contacts. I suspect that is where the problem is located.
