If your so sure its the multi function switch then buy a new one and replace it. You can also look to see if your grounds are in good shape also.

flick em back



sounds like a charging issue to me. considering how the issue disappears when driving. check grounds and have alt/battery tested

manitoba is 261000 square miles and has a population of 1 million and 700,000 are in one city,which i am not.i have to drive 8 hours before i see a stop light or turn,as for the parts all i have available to me is ford dealership,i'm way up north and for aftermarket parts there is only a few and none in my province,and more costly than ording from u.s..any way it was a shot relay behind the drivers inner fender by the horn.daytime running light relay on canadian cars.

close,i'm as far as you can go on highway.if you want to see what we have check themustangshop.ca,or wmsracing.their prices are ok but limited selection.you americans have it good as far as selection and prices goes.canadians are taxed to hell anyway,i'm getting used to it.
