Do your hazard lights work on all four corners?

It may be the actual turn signal arm module. My went bad and did something similar. $36 part at Advance Auto Parts.

Where is the Buzz coming from? A relay? the "Flasher" unit? Follow the Buzz I don't know about Jeeps but a lot of Chryslers have two separate "Flasher" units, one for the Hazards and one for the Turn Indicators.


I honestly haven't looked at mine yet to see if this is the case on these or not.

OK, so the lights actually flash?

The buzzing sounds to me like a stuck relay.
