Default electrical problems still about to give UP!

****!

i don't have

HVAC Motor
Turning Signals
Reverse Lights
Rear Defroster

They all worked when i first bought the car and the turning signals reverse lights and defroster all crapped out together then the HVAC motor went on me WTF!

i just replaced the ignition switch and NOTHING! i've been chasing down wires and studying diagrams for ****ing months and there is simply no logical reason i can find why these ****ing things stopped working.

before i ghost ride this ****ing car back into the factory where it was made DOES ANY ONE... ANY ONE have anyyyy idea what else could be causing all this **** to just suddenly stopp working in my car?

I feel your frustration man.[:@] Mine quite a month ago...I changed the flasher and checked the connecitons like 4 times. I ended up with my car at the Ford dealership, cause I got caught in bind for another issue, so i let them take a look at it. I turned out to be a badTurn Signal Switch and fryed wire harness that plugs into switch. Switch was 210.00, wire harnes 30.00 plus labor it was 500.00...nearly killed me. Signals work and I have a New turn signal lever but I broke.

Things it could be:

Connections dirty in switch where lever makes contact or loose wires toswitch
Turn Signal Flasher
Ignition Switch (which you did)
Turn Signal switch

Starting a month ago they started blinking faster on instrument panel and outside car. It seemed they were blinking at a better speed and I was happy. Then a week before they stopped working, the flash outside the car and on the insturment panel was lighting up and going out way too fast. So fast you could only see the arrow on the instrument illuminate for a split second and outside the car the bulb would flash and go out to quick. I rather have somthingobvious go out then this ****. PS pump, alternator, battery ect.

ok turn signals and reverse lights are on the same fuse i dont know about the rear defroster because i dont have one. you need to see if you have power going to the fuse itself for those. do you have a test light or dmm?
