Left rear tail light

[Rufus Lazarus]

On my o1 ST, The rear left tail light quit working. I've checked the fuses, bulbs, connectors, etc. Checked the feed and there is no power at the connector of the bulb. Help would be appreciated.

Tilt your steering column to different heights and try it. There is a connector back there that can come loose.

Yep, steering wheel tilt.

 

[Rufus Lazarus]

Yep!! That seems to do the trick. Thanks. Tilted the wheel back up, and the signals work. Wow! Wonder why FORD makes such cheap crap as that? An O1, and the odometer just rolled on 48,000 miles. I reckon it will start falling apart now that it's paid for. So now, what have I got to do to fix the short? Tear the wheel off and such?

You can take the steering column off and see where the connector is being pulled and try to give some slack on the wires or you can just leave the steering wheel in the tilted position that it's in now, you shouldn't have a problem then.
