In this video I show you a quick repair repair for 2011 Ford Pickups including F-150, F-250, F-350 and others when experiencing a symptom of no turn signal on front or rear on right or left sides even after replacing a burnt bulb. Symptomatic also include rapid flashing of the turn signal indicator lamp on the instrument panel. Some vehicles may also have stored BCM code B132B. Watch this video for more information.

Tim,
I wanted to say amazing video. I’ve token my vehicle to two mechanics and neither one of them could find the issue, both recommended changing out the wire harness. I myself went back checked the fuses, cleaned ground cables and nothing. As a last resort before taking my Ford to the dealership I got on YouTube in desperation and your video was the fourth one I saw and you were right on the money sir, thank you so much for making and sharing this video. My the Lord continue to bless you sir, thank you again, great content!

Tim,

I can't thank you enough! I watched many videos on this subject, but yours was the one that got it done. I did try clearing the codes with my cheap-o code reader, but it wasn't picking anything up and didn't solve the problem. I do have a FORSCAN that hooks to my laptop. I was able to get in there and clear the codes with that. BOOM! Problem solved.

Thanks again!

Yep, once the module detects incorrect current flow it shuts the circuit down to protect itself. Great info Tim!

[gerryjames]

Had this same problem. This guy knows his stuff. Thanx

same on my 2012 f350. ELM327 didn't clear it. Modus Ultra and Forscan both worked. So now when i go out of town using a trailer i have to bring forscan with me in case the trailer shorts out the system.. thanks a lot ford..

you saved my butt ;-) I had changed the rear turn signal bulbs but mu turn signals were still flashing; never would have thought to read out and clear the BCM error code: Thanks for the help !!!

Hey doc... I finally saw you blink! You're not a wrenching droid after all!

[nimrodpaul]

Thanks for this video, my left blinker in front hyperflashed and left rear didn't work and no brake light left rear, it was a code on the bcm and 3 auto parts stores couldn't see or clear it. A local electrical car guy found it cleared and 1 minute 2011 f150 rolling legal again.

This saved me a major amount of time, glad I looked here before chasing a broken wire.
Thank you.

I had the same problem with ford f350 2011, thanks for share the video

Great video! I had the same problem with my rear driver aide turn signal. Though when I hooked up the tuner, it did not show any type of code related to the turn signal. Only code I had was for my catalytic converter which has always intermittently come on even after replacing them. Anyways I cleared all codes anyways just in hope it would somehow fix the problem. Sure enough my turn signal began to work. Thank so much for the information!

Thanks. The more I learn about these new vehicles, the more I want to keep my old 98 chevy. This stuff is getting crazy.

[siaknijustin]

Thanks! This saved me a trip to the mechanic’s.

Having same issue with 2011 f150 Lariat ecoboost 2wd. Original status: both sides fast blink. Right side front, mirror and bottom rear light blink but top rear does not. Left side mirror blinks but front and neither rear does. I replaced top rear right light bulb and that fixed right side and now slow blinks everything good. I replaced front and both rear light bulbs on left side and now front, mirror lights work but neither rear blinks. Left side still fast blinks. I tried removing negative terminal from battery and bridging positive terminal to negative cable for 1 hour hoping would clear code but no work. I tried regular odb2 reader but no codes found. Swapped relays from right to left side and checked fuses nothing worked to fix left side. I just ordered the recommended forscan odb2 device and purchased 1 year licence for forscan. Will find out tomorrow if that works to clear bcm. Then i am going to use forscan to stop those 3 annoying chimes at startup and add 6 blinks to blinker and who knows what else! There should be easier way built in to clear these codes. This is major f up by Ford. All this hassle for a fin light bulb. Major fail.

[bobbykilpatrick]

Great video reset codes, everything working now, you are the best.

[YahFllr]

Could you replace the light bulb, then unplug the battery for a few minutes to reset all code??
