Everest Turn Signal Fault

Alright, my 2016 Ford Everest, diesel engine, is throwing a tantrum with the turn signals. Got 240706 km on the clock. The error memory's screaming, the speedometer's flashing a warning, and the lighting's gone haywire! I'm betting it's a dodgy cable or plug connection – anyone else seen this?

I had similar turn signal weirdness with my Everest. The diagnostics were also showing a fault in the lighting, and the error memory was triggered. Do you have a trailer hitch?

Interesting! Yeah, I do have a tow bar installed. What's the significance of the trailer hitch in this whole shebang? Is it a common denominator for Everest turn signal woes?

Yes, the trailer hitch wiring loom was the culprit. I ended up taking it to a workshop to get checked. I recommend you also do that.

Thanks a bunch for the insight! Saved me a load of diagnostic head-scratching. Turns out you were spot on! The trailer hitch wiring was indeed causing the short. 95€ later, new connector installed and it's working fine!
