Cancel cam replaced, no lights now!!

Post by ranger_68_f100 »

So I've replaced my cancelling cam as it was broken, just the plastic cam piece and soldered the 2 wires that had to be cut.
After putting things back my signals and brake lights won't turn on.
Pulling the headlight switch the lights all turn on but the brake light and signal lights don't work like they're supposed to.
This is my daily driver and now I need to catch a ride because they're not working properly.
Help please!!!

You are missing something in your description. If you only had to resolder two wires and did them just as removed, the TS shouldn't be affected.

Did you unplug the harness when replacing the cam and forgot to plug it back in?

It took me a minute and I looked up my picture and now I know the wire's you soldered. The blue and green ones. I replaced the cam on the left one in pic. it is older style wired underneath. Anyway I would not trust the cam fix replace the whole switch a bit of work then you know its good. Just my :2cents:
