Default 2000 XJ - Turn Signals Work, Hazards Don't

My turn signals weren't working correctly so I replaced the flasher underneath the driver's side steering column. I thought this would fix the hazard problem also but it did not. When I turn on the hazards, I get nothing. No lights, nothing. The turn signals work like a champ now though.

Am I correct that the 2000 Cherokee uses a combination flasher for both turn signals and hazards? I have been reading a bunch of different forum and I can't be 100% if it's a combo or separate.

From the schematic im looking at, it is a combination flasher for the 2000 XJ. If you have no hazards but signals work all around. Id check your hazard switch for continuity.

After screwing around with it a little bit I realized that if I engage the turn signal and switch on the hazards, the hazard lights will work. If I just use the hazard switch by itself, I get nothing.

It's not perfect, but it works so I'm leaving well enough alone.

On mine, if I turn the hazards on, only the left side works until I push the hazard switch forward and/or further sideways. Sometimes I have to do it a few times before it "sticks." And it's been that way since I bought the thing new in 2000. These switches were a poor design.
