Hi I have a 91 Ford Festiva. My blinkers currently stopped flashing. I recently printed out the Electrical wiring diagram to help me locate a relay or fuse if there was one. I think I found it but I'm not quite sure. Can someone tell me what could be causing my blinkers to stop flashing. Otherwise from the look of it I have to take apart the whole dash to get to it. If so is there an easy way to do this?

The fuse panel should be to the lower left of the steering wheel. Which by looking at the electrical diagram there is a seperate fuse for your hazards and blinkers. So as stated by batstiva I would check to see if it is just the blinkers that dont work. Other than that I would have to say it maybe a bad connection in the blinker switch itself. Maybe the contacts need to be cleaned.Man should eat when he can for Man does not know when his last meal will be.Comment

The blinkers and the hazards both dont flash. They just stay lit up.Comment

There is a Flasher Module located behind the Fuse Panel under the dash. It is not uncommon for them to go bad.Search Master - Honorary Member of Midwest Festiva Inc., Gulf Coast Chapter

Thank you. Thats what i thought but wanted to make sure before i tore into the dash. Does anyone have any instructions on how to take apart the dash. Pictures would be alot of help.
Plus i just did my front right wheel bearing and we never used a press to do it. we also never removed the racers because they were stuck in there good and we did not have a press. plus i read somewhere else that there should be a spacer between them. i dont remember putting that back in. or even taking one out. anyone know how bad this could be???? it is all together now and i havnt had any problems yet.Comment

how bad would it be if i forgot to put them in?Comment

Not trying to be rude, nor was I before, but you should really look into getting a haynes manual if you plan on keeping the festy and taking care of it yourself. It will be a big help along with all the knowledge the good folks here can provide"Lane, I've been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I'm no dummy."

Just checked Advance Auto's website. Somewhere between 10 and 12 bucks.Last edited by batstiva; 01-15-2010, 05:38 PM.
