Alright so just one side flashes and one is solid? Then it's not your flasher cause the 1 flasher does both sides. Turn on blinker and check your bulbs. A burnt out build will either cause a fast flash or no flash on the side with a bad bulb.

Then there is a possibility you might of effed up a ground at one of the lights. It's odd to think the flashed is bad since it feeds both sides straight off the fuse block.

I went though the research when it came time to change mine the first time. Lots of misinformation on the topic since the factory service manual listed the incorrect fluid spec....

I had the same problem. Right on top of the A/C drier evaporator is what I think is a valve (can't remember the name of it) hooked to the firewall; one of the tubes that went to it had a worn a hole in it. I put heat shrink wrap over it and it solved the problem.
The guys at JeepAir ( http://www.jeepair.com/ ) also confirmed this by actually calling me after I sent them an email about it.

I have a 93 Cherokee (just bought) fuel injected. When it warms up I loose power and it sounds like it is back firing through a carbarator. Any suggestions? I have changed Distributer, cap, and plugs. Have new wires to put on tonight.
