Computer issue with power output???
Hello All! New to the Cherokee forum. I JUST GOT A 96 CHEROKEE WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, AND HAZARDS NOT WORKING. I have checked my fuses and my flasher and it seems that the problem is that I only have from 7.4V (ignition on) or 8.4V (jeep running) at the flasher relay. This I believe is not enough for the system to work. I put 12v to the flasher via power probe and the problem is fixed. My question is that it seems that the pink/black wire that goes to fuse 13 comes from pcm. Would the pcm have to be replaced if voltage coming out is insufficient? Has anyone had this problem? Any help or advice will be appreciated.
PS I only have a very limited wiring diagram ie no diagram or info on computer
Thanks

Here's the drawing I have for a 96. It says fuse 8 powers the turn/hazard lights. But my owner's manual for my 96 says it's fuse 13. Bah. The fun of owning a changeover year.
In any case, the PDC fuses are powered straight from the battery. If you have 12v at the PDC fuse, but only 7-8 at the flasher, I'd work my way backwards until finding the problem. Dittos on the ignition switch, they do fail.
PCM has nothing to do with turn/stop/hazard lamps.
