Small issue. The "lane passing" mode where you just push it half-way does not engage the right blinker. My right turn signal only blinks when I fully click it on. The left side blinker works in both modes. I assumed this was due to something broken in the turn signal part, and planned to replace it.

But, I just noticed when I put on my hazards, the right blinker also does not engage. Only the left blinker flashes in hazard mode. Can it be related to the problem above? Is this a relay or something that is bad, and not the turn signal part itself?

I would say it is the mult-function switch (aka the turn signal switch) causing the problem. They tend to collect a lot of junk and dust that will muck up the contacts.

You need to replace the multi-function switch. A qualified mechanic should be able to slap that on for you in a jiff.

Is that the turn signal thing?

Just before you replace it...grab the hazzard switch and rapidy/forcefully turn it on and off a bunch of times. this may "clean" some of the junk off the internal contacts....worked on mine...hazzards only worked on one side now it ok......

This is how I fixed mine when I first bought my xj. I still have to do this from time to time because I never use the damn thing.
