Brake lights do not work. Rear turn signals do not work. It is not the fuse because the rear back up lights work and the high center brake light works and the rear lights turn on when I turn on the headlights. Just when I press the brakes and turn signals (rear) do not work. Researching online, lots off people have problems with the multifunction switch being the culprit.

While driving down the interstate at night my vehicles dashboard began to act erratic. Then the battery gauge rapidly dropped into the red zone. Within about 3 miles I lost my interior power, headlights, taillights, and signals including my hazard lights. When limping off the interstate my truck had lost enough power to where it died out. Once at the dealership it was found that the alternator fried out causing a surge that wiped out the PCM and utility cluster all without warning.

My gauges go haywire the needles shake while driving and when car is off no key in ignition. The lights flash as well. Car will stall in traffic at a stop, the RPM won't go above 2 even when hwy going 60 mph. Mechanic said it's electrical, the dealer took out top counsel as a work around for this electrical issue claiming it was not a recall.

While stopped at a traffic light I switched on my turn signal to indicate a right turn and noticed the normal click of the turn signal was not occurring. I looked down at my instrument panel and saw the right turn light was lit but not flashing. The rest of the trip I had to continually turn on and turn off the turn signal to let others now my intentions since the signals would no longer flash. Finally I rapidly worked the switch up and down and was able to get the turn signals to operate correctly again. Also on other occasions the signal would click very fast which and the actual signal light would not flash or light but would eventually start working again. I assumed it was a burned-out bulb but when it came back on again I knew that was not the case. I saw a recall recently for the turn signal switch on Ranger pickups and Excursion SUVS in the age range of my vehicle and this seems to be exactly what is happening with my Explorer.
