Default turn signals quit working
The turn signals in my 97 cherokee stopped working. What i do not understand is the markers and the hazards still work. Im at a loss. What could this be?

Relay under your steering wheel. Very common problem. Do a search on google for jeep cherokee turn signal relay and there is a video for youtube that pops up showing u what to do

Checked every single fuse and they are all good. I seen the post about the relay under the steering wheel but from what i read that same relay is for the hazards and my hazards work fine

check your headlight harness connector. also check your grounds and ultimately, it could be your beam selector switch mast.

My odometer doesn't come on. Also my blinkers work but if it blinks for 8 or so turns it stops. How do I fix this.

Not sure about your odometer, but your flasher relay is on its way out. My xj did the exact same thing. Advanced auto has the flasher for pretty cheap.
