2000 Cherokee turn signals not working properly.
I have a 2000 RHD Cherokee and the turn signals only work intermittently. When I switch them on or my hazards they will flash sometimes or will and then just stop. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be or where to start looking?

Have you checked/replaced the flasher? 99.9% that's your issue. For a 2000 it should be an EP27, $15 at the local parts store.

When your turn signals are on do they blink and then stay stuck on and stop blinking? Mine does that and I found that there's a short in the wires connecting to the bulbs might wanna jiggle the wires around and see if it helps any

That's what mine did and the flasher fixed it. Jiggling around with the wiring harness was always only a temporary fix.

X2billion on the flasher relay. Located right under the dash- left knee. You have to take the cover off below the steering wheel. Mine would get glitchy when turning the hazards on, and then sometimes the turn signal wouldn't work, or it would and then randomly go out, and then eventually wouldn't work at all. Flasher relay fixed her right up

Hate to tell you--but I doubt that it is. I'm going to disagree with everyone on the flasher relay, and tell you that you need to replace your multifunction switch.
Some Advance Auto Parts carry them in stock:

And also, I think RockAuto has them for a lot cheaper. You'll need a Phillips head screwdriver and a T15 Torx bit to remove it. I had the exact same problem as you and this is what I had to do to fix it.
