Default blinker help

My xj is a dd so I would like to have blinkereven though it hasnt had any since I have owned her... I just replaced the column with one in ALOT better condition than mine... the hazard flashed will click nut blinker flashed will not so I switched them and still nothing in blinker or hazard... what do you guys think would most likely be the problem

Are all the exterior bulbs good (do they at least light up?).

Start with tracing all the lighting circuits and figure out what the issue is with those (bad connector, missing or loose ground, etc.) Without enough amperage draw no way the flashers will operate, they are simply a self resetting circuit breaker.

I officially have blinkers on all four corners... I bought some tailights from the pap last week and they just cut the wires and left the sockets in the tail lamps so I cut some of the sockets off and sliced them into my wires and so now I got blinkers.... got another problem though... my jeep idles really rough... it jumps anywhere from 600rpms to 1600 rpms while idleing... does it sound like a vacuum leak or something worse?
