I have a minor problem with my 1999 Ford Escort. The Emergency Flashers don't flash when the switch is place in the on position. I checked the 15amp Flasher Fuse and that fuse is good. I assume that the Turn Signals Lamps are the same lamps that operate in the Flasher circuit: The Turn Signal Lamps are good. I would like to know if there is a quick way of checking the Flasher Switch, and the Flasher Wires for defects. Also, I would like to know if there is a secondary fuse in the Flasher circuit.
By the way I just like to say that the problem I had with the Engine service light has been resolved. A tune up and a Canister Vent replacement solved that problem. And to all of you who responded to my call for help, I appreciate it very much. And Thanks for taking the time out to help with my problem.

There is a possibility that the flasher unit is gone bad. While the turn signals use the same flasher, they go through different circuits. The other possibility would be the combination switch that holds the flasher switch (as mentioned above). Barring a shorted out wire, these are the only two possibilities that I know of.

Just had the same problem with a flasher on an Explorer. You can jiggle the flasher switch and see if you can get the flashers to flash once or twice. You may have a bad flasher switch. good luck.
