Hey guys I have a 1999 xj and every time I turn on my left turn signal my hazards come on. I did search on here for what the problem is, and came to the conclusion that is probably the multi function switch. I went on quadratec looking for a replacement part, and they show me two options. They have Crown and Omix. The Crown switch costs $44.62 and the Omix costs $103.28. So I was just wondering if the Omix is a better quality part or should I just go with the cheaper Crown switch.

thanks guys for your responses. I just bought this Jeep and its in great condition I just have a few small odds and ends to fix up. I had a 1995 before this and regretfully sold it and bought a durango (that was a mistake) and it just wasn't the same lol. so now I'm back at home with my jeep and any help is appreciated.

 

im just watching, i cant figure how to pull the switch assm out.mine is "blinking" the click sound. no lights come on, just sitting there, right now!
want to see what you come up with.

 

Keep looking. Pretty sure when I researched the mopar ones were like $80 and others were $60 ish.

 

What year is your xj? 97-01 there is 3 screws to remove on the underside of the steering column that holds the top and bottom of the cover together. Remove them, separate the halves. Then there are 3 T15 screws the hold the switch in. 1 from bottom and two on top. Unplug it, 2 connectors, then finesse it out.

 

Well I found this nice write up on how to change out the multifunction switch.

Pulled them from 2 98's, a 99 and an 01. All were the same. No messing with ignition.
