I have a 1988 wagoneer limited that I recently purchased. When I bought it the turn signals would blink very slowly, then as a couple days went by they got a little quicker but would occasionally not work. Then a couple weeks later they stopped working all together. My hazards and everything else does work. I am no mechanic by any means, but I'm pretty good at figuring things out and fixing them. I have done a few things hoping it would work, but to no avail. The things I have done listed:
-cleaned all turn signal sockets.
-new bulbs with dielectric grease
-checked all fuses that I could find
-replaced multifunction switch in steering column (what a major pain in the ### for it to not work)
-replaced the large round yellow and silver flashers on fuse panel

I am stumped and cannot afford to take it to a mechanic. If anyone could help I'd be forever grateful! Thank you in advance!

there are 2 flasher units in your fuse box. One for turn signals and one for flashers. Swap them and see what happens.

I actually replaced both of those with brand new ones.

Thank you Cruiser54, I'll definitely do that tomorrow while I'm cleaning the throttle body! I'll update the thread as soon as I can. Thanks again!

counting on it.

I found and cleaned the connection shown. It was definitely corroded but it didn't fix my problem. I made a mistake and didn't realize that the TPS was adjustable and took it off without checking the reference point, which I learned about from reading your guide on how to set it. Lol
Any advice on how to get the tps set without a reference point? As well as my turn signal issue. Thank you for your help! You're the best, all your info on your website is fantastic.

Go here to get the TPS correct.
