Some Ford Contour owners report experiencing malfunctioning signal lights while making turns, which can be attributed to several common issues. These include burnt-out bulbs, a bad turn signal switch, faulty wiring, a defective flasher relay, or even battery problems. A frequent symptom noted is that the lights do not function properly when the turn signal lever is activated. Additionally, directional light problems may affect individual bulbs, one side of the system, or cause a complete breakdown of the turn signals, rendering them non-operational. If troubleshooting indicates a faulty hazard/turn switch in the steering column, it is advisable to check for visible damage or signs of wear and test the switch's operation by activating the turn signals. Addressing these potential causes promptly is essential for ensuring the proper functioning of the signal lights.
