Ford Ranger More than two decades ago, the Ford Ranger debuted as an answer to various compact pickup trucks being made available by Japanese automakers. The Ranger was cleanly styled and offered with a choice of a 6-foot or 7-foot bed. Ford boasted that the Ranger had more interior room than the best-selling imports and that 4-by-8-foot construction material could be carried in the bed.

Default blinker problem "rapid fire"

Hi forum

I have a 2005 ford ranger 73,000 plus miles on her running great!
but I am having a blinker problem when I use the indacator for a right turn and get it into locking postion it starts to rapid fire the blinker and it does not show it blinking on the dash or the front blinker. I did check the front bulb looks fine. If I hold the indacator switch in a " limbo state" and engage the blinker like this every thing works normal.

not to sure what it could be last time it did this it was just the right rear bulb burnt out "was a ease fix" just not so sure now and blinker lever feels normal.

thanks for the help
