Pulled the wife's Ford E150 campmobile out of its winter resting place
in the barn and took it to the dealer for "diagnosis" (a $102 fee) for
a check engine light and a subsequent O2 sensor replacement (another
$151 charge, including $68 for the sensor) and "computer update download
from the factory" and learned that the mechanic changed the steering
wheel tilt setting and the brake lights/turn signals/hazards no longer
work.
Didn't feel like paying them another $150 to figure out why the turn
signals worked just fine on the drive to the dealership, but wouldn't
work after they moved the truck. The service writer did advise that
moving the steering wheel tilt setting "might" have interrupted the
connection.
I pulled the #11 fuse (which the owner book says is for the brake and
"multifunction" circuit) and it looks intact. It's a 20 amp fuse (I
think) that shows the whole loop of fusible material.
Anyone know what on the tilt system would cut off the turn signals? I
need to fix this, but not at their prices.
