Daughter's 2001 Cherokee turn signals have quit working. Bulbs appear to be okay. Some times they would, then would not work. Now they have totally quit.


Any suggestions.

i have the same issue but I know how to tackle it a bit

1. start with this first and is the the cheapest solution. It could be just be your flasher relay. Here's a vid on how to replace it. its about 20 bucks or so at local auto parts store. Takes literally 5 minutes to do!


2. If #1 does not work, Its your multifunction switch (your blinker handle) need to be switched. The piece can cost around 50$ bucks or so. Went to the mechanic and they diagnosed it for me. gonna get around to it pretty soon, but don't worry this is a very common issue among XJ's

Hope this helps! Let me know hoe it goes!

Yes, that helps big time. It tells me I better take it to the repair shop since I had a knee replaced recently and there is no way I am getting down on the concrete on my knees right now. Maybe another 3 months and I could, but just not now.

Thats the exact video that I used to fix the exact same problem.

First check the hazards. If they click, just not coming on all four corners, its the switch and not the flasher relay. I pulled my switch apart and was able to clean up all the contacts and put it back together. It took me a very frustrated 30 minutes from start to finish, but cost me $0

Question about this. When I turned on my blinkers they would work for about 3 or 4 clicks and then stop, even through the switch level was still activated. I replaced the relay and that seem to fix that, but after 2 weeks or so, the relay started to make the clicking sound as if the blinkers were on but there were not.

I then replaced the switch thinking there was a short or something there. After a day or so the clicking is back. It comes and goes so I'm not sure what is causing the relay to click. Could it be a bad relay ?
