My 2001 F-150 has had a problem since I bought it at the steering column where if you tilt it to any position except the very top notch, the turn signals, hazard and brake lights stop working.
Even at the top, only the driver's side tail light works.
Thinking it was too much trouble (and money) to fix it right I ran a wire from the brake light above the cab to the passenger's side tail light and I had brakes!!!! but still, no turn signal.
I ran another wire from the front turn signal(which does work) to the back(which happens to be the sameas the brake power feed) and now when I indicate a right turn everything comes on (brakes and both turn signals)
So, I disconnected the brake jumper and am left with the turn signal, but no brake light on the right side...what can I do?????

Sounds like your bypassing the flasher circuit. Thats why you have brakes only. Time to tear into the steering column.
