Pin Point Test P: The LH Turn Indicator Is Never On

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2006 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2006 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
  1. P1 VERIFY TURN SIGNAL OPERATION 
    • Verify the LH turn signal operation.
    • Does the LH turn signal operate correctly? 

    Yes  : GO to P2.

    No  : REFER to EXTERIOR LIGHTING to continue diagnosis of the turn signals.

  2. P2 CHECK CIRCUIT 3 (LG/WH) FOR VOLTAGE 
    • Disconnect: Instrument Cluster C220a.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Place the multifunction switch in the LH turn signal position.
    • Measure the voltage between the instrument cluster C220a-1, circuit 3 (LG/WH), harness side and ground.

    • Does the voltage fluctuate between 0 and greater than 10 volts? 

    Yes  : GO to P3.

    No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.

  3. P3 CHECK CIRCUIT 57 (BK) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Measure the resistance between the instrument cluster C220a-1C, circuit 57 (BK), harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 

    Yes  : GO to P4.

    No  : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.

  4. P4 CHECK FOR CORRECT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OPERATION 
    • Disconnect all the instrument cluster connectors.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect all the instrument cluster connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  : INSTALL a new instrument cluster. REFER to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER . TEST the system for normal operation.

    No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. TEST the system for normal operation.
