How To: Blinker Mod

i found this off another site, i will get pics up tomorrow in the day light

How-To: Make the useless side-marker light function as a turn-signal​

This How-To is for a gen 6, however this can be performed on any Ranger using the Daniel Stern Lighting Tech guide:

Daniel Stern's Flashing Sidemarker Lamp Tech​

Tools Needed:
7/32 socket, and rachet
Wire cutter/stripper
Soldering Iron and Solder, or a 4 crimp on wire-taps
Electrical Tape and/or shrink wrap

• Step One:

Remove your Turn Signal by pulling up on the 2 tabs holding the headlamps in, and then remove the 2 7/32 bolts holding the corners in




Step Two:
(You may have to cut back the wire loom to expose enough of the wires from both of the following bulbs.)
Cut the wires for your side marker light about 4-6 inches from the light-bulb housing. (a black and a brown wire) Wrap the ends that normally supply this bulb electricity with electrical tape and tuck them behind the header panel, making sure no wire is exposed to cause a short.

Cut the black wire on the corner light, and run a wire from the black wire on the corner to the the white/blue wire(passenger side) green/white(drivers side) wires






Put the turn signal back on and you now have a functioning side-marker light!

With this modification, you will have the following results:

Headlights/Parking lights ON - turn signal flashes alternately with side marker light.

Headlights/Parking lights OFF - Turn signal and side marker flash together.

here is a demonstration from my 2001 ford ranger
