I just purchased my first motor home, a 1986 Windjammer with 22,000 on it. Love it. However I can not get the signal lights to workI can not get the signal lights, nor the four way flasher to work. Tail lights, break lights, backup lights do work.I found the fuse box, by the drivers left knee, and all fuses look good. I can Find NO WHERE where a flasher might me plugged in. Does anyone know if this vehicle has a flasher, and if so where? Does anyone know if this vehicle has a flasher and if so where?Other suggestions to get the lights to work?Help!

You did look infer the front emgine lid?

What class of RV is this? A or C? And, whose Chassis it is, is more important for questions like this than whose House is on it. Ford? Chevy? or ______?You posted in "C" and Ford was predominant in the mid-1980's. Fuse panel to the left of the steering column, inside, should have a little "can" flasher. I think in the lower right corner but memory fades.

I have a 2008 Winnebago Outlook Class C and had a similar problem. I found a 10A fuse blown in the fuse box under the hood. Good luck.

OK, Upper LeftTold you Memory was Fading...I pulled up 1985 because it's common as not for the Chassis Year to be one older than Coach Model Year. Builders stock up on chassis at end of Chassis Model Year and build RV's till they run out of them then order more.

Kit, we had an '84 C on '83 E350 and the above was all the chassis fuses it had. Few Fusible Links under the Hood and that was it. Panel above was in the floor pan to the left of where the column passed through the floor mat. Your '08, probably more than our current '02, has probably 3x the circuits and fuses the older ones did. Especially while they still had carburetors.OP, First, Belated Welcome to the Forum! You have questions now, but it won't be long before you're giving answers!You should see either three socket slots in a "C" pattern or two slots in an "L" pattern. If you have a single front turn signal bulb and two rear bulbs (on each side) and do NOT have a trailer or vehicle connected to your coach... Then you need a Three-Lamp version of the "C" or "L" flasher. One bulb each side and then you need a Two-Lamp flasher. Yes, you can get a "Heavy Duty Flasher" that blinks between one and six bulbs. Problem with those is that they flash at the same rate regardless of the number of bulbs. That's good till one goes out. The Two- and Three-Lamp ones blink differently or not at all if a bulb goes out. That warns you to get out and check. I don't remember if we had a separate flasher for the 4-ways. I don't think so but again don't remember for sure. If Ford's solution in that year was One Flasher, then (at least logically) it'd need to be the HD version.

You have to post a picture online somewhere and provide a link. We can't see a file that is on your computer.

The WD40 worked on the 4 way! Tried it on signal light, so far they have not worked. but I now assume is may be connections somewhere... like the fusebox. My bet is the same flasher activates with both

Not sure about a 1986 but later years had all the lights running through the emergency flasher button. If that button sticks it can cause all kinds of weird brake, tail, and signal lighting problems.

On the chassis similar to the OP's that we had, there seemed to be separate flashers. Parts lookups indicate that too. We know where the Turn Signal Flasher is, corner of the Fuse Panel. OP can confirm by pulling it out and seeing if the Four-Ways still work. If they still do, then clearly they have their own flasher. Might be possible to listen under the dash and hear it click. The flashers were one of the few things we never tinkered with on that '83 E350. Replaced some lamps, but that was it, the nearly 10 years we owned it.
In some vehicles, there's a spring clip under the dash that holds the top of the Flasher. In a vehicle that old, I'd expect the Flasher to be out of the Clip, dangling someplace. That makes it quieter since it doesn't have the Dash to reverb on.
It's time to get busy with one of these:

Far easier to check automotive circuits than dinking around with a Meter.

If both the flasher and directional signals fail then it can't be a switch problem. Check the fuse box. You have standard fuses in your 86 vehicle. Wrap tin foil around the fuse until you get to an auto parts store.
