Default Turn signal problems

Hey I've used your guys website many times to help me narrow problems down. I have a 1991 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4x4 straight 6 4.0L, I know its old but I've slowly been bringing it back to life. It just had a new computer, sensors, and other things done to it over the past year, but one thing I haven't been able to figure out is my right turn signal. I have to pump it for it to work but the rear right turn signal wont work at all. We've replaced the bulb and socket (my brake light and reverse light still work in the right rear though.). I've looked at my fuses and they all seem good. I can't find a diagram of the electrical layout of the jeep so I have no clue what to do next to try to fix it. Any help would be great, I love the jeep to death it was my first car.


thanks,
Josh

If they are not working/ have to manually turn the signal on off for the front, I would check the round large silver fuses in the fuse block. As in the block under the steering column, not the one under the hood. There should be two of them, they are the flashers for the blinkers. What makes them blink instead of stay constantly on. But if they are broken/ burned out/ just old, I would try to replace them first.

I replaced the fuses and it would blink on the dash but the rear wasn't working. So I went to check out the socket again and the light bulb wasn't in the socket all the way... huge noob move on my part, thank you for the fuse idea now I don't have to pump the turning signal. Now there's only two more things left on it, body work and a new exhaust. THANK YOU AGAIN SuperGlue
