Usually just one bulb being burned out will cause this. You have two front and one rear on either side. Turn on your parking lights and hazards and see if they are all working.

When I installed my intake it was on the pins, when I tightened the first bolt it angled the manifold unevenly causing it to bind on pins. It was not noticeable and tightening the remaining bolts did not correct the alignment. I figured this out after disassembling again. Are you using a new gasket?
Yes to a new gasket.
I have loosened and re tightened the bolts. I tightened them in stages, and torqued them in the correct sequence.

I'll have try again.

I didn't know there were 2 bulbs in front! That explains why both sides have fast blink on my ZJ but the turn signals all work...lol

all parking lights and hazards work, i noticed when i put my hazards on that the passenger blinker blinks at normal speed but when i just put that blinker on by itself is when it blinks really fast

It's tough to pinpoint what is going on from this side of a computer. Perhaps start your own thread to get more attention from the 'specialists'.

Could be a bad ground somewhere on that side of your lighting circuit

I just took a closer look at the blinker and it seems that moisture or water is inside my blinker housing, could this lead to the problem?

Default Transmission cooler lines

On my 1990 Cherokee I recently noticed the rubber part of my transmission cooler line going to top of radiator has a small hole in it and is leaking. Can someone help me by telling me what I need? Should I get the full line from radiator to tranny or just the tranny to quick connect section and where could I get a good deal on it?

If one part of a hose, line, wire has **** the bed I personally would assume that the rest of it isn't too far behind. As far as where you can get a good deal on it,who knows. We have no idea what your options are. You might live in a ghost town or have access to the superest of all the walmarts that carries everything. have you tried places like rock auto or your local auto parts store and compared?

Got some ZJ seats! I was gonna fab up some brackets but then I realized, is it possible to get some of the floor rail brackets from a later Xj and weld them into the earlier model xj? Here's a pic of the rails I'm talking about, pic is from Google.

The ZJ seats should fit the XJ seat brackets.

Speaking of this...
There are 2 really good threads on NAXJA.
http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthrea...1087689&page=2
and
http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1042180

I have a (might be a parts) ZJ I'm thinking of swapping the seats into my XJ. It does mention that it'll make you sit higher though. Anyone know if there's a way to not make the seating higher?(willing to fab a bit) At least in the front... 6' 4" and already brushing the roof with the hair...

not for the pre 96 models. But even if they did, I want to use the power seat bracket that the ZJ has.
