Equipment problem #1

I have running lights but no turn signals, brake, or four way/emergency lights on my fifth wheel when towing. This is at any time hooked up to the truck. Otherwise on the truck itself all lights work properly.

Equipment problem #2

Engine logo light came on; then red sign came on " stop safely now". I pulled to the shoulder and the engine stopped. I waited 30 minutes or so and the engine started again. I drove starting and stopping to a Ford dealer in clarion, PA. Slept in the truck all night and the next morning shawn ran the computer and his conclusion was the number 8 cylinder injector was bad and that causes the heat sensors to malfunction. He didn't have the part but suggested running it until it cuts out, let it cool then run it again. Well after about 70 miles it stopped for good. I then called up montross Ford, and they had the injector so I bought it thinking next I'll find the mechanic, on a Saturday afternoon I was wrong. Next I looked up recalls and I found a recall for faulty heat sensors, that recall was for the same time period as my truck was made. I am now sitting on the side of rt. 76 with no where to go pulling a 4 car trailer, customers upset and my last hope is Ford motor CO.
