Cool Blinkers!!!

Alright so today my pass side blinkers jus stopped working .. I checked the bulbs and they look fine .. Changed the fuses .. Still dosent work .. Its only the pass side ,both front and rear, and wen i hit the blinker switch the green arrow on the dash jus stays on steady . ... But when i turn my hazzards on all my lights blink except for the rear pass side so idk i cant figure it out unless one of the bulbs is jus faulty .. Because none of them look blown... Anyone know what could be the issue here ??
Thanks, zak

one of the bulbs is faulty. XJs do this when the filaments get crossed. Double check the bulbs

the rest of the fluids (both differentials, transfer case, and possibly transmission), spark plugs, coolant flush, cap/rotor/wires, and air filter

weld a new grade 8 bolt to the existing bolt shaft, and turn it out that way. Alternatively, drill the bolt out to the size of the shaft (not the threads), and us a tap and die to clear the threads for the new bolt.

Do most aftermarket steel wheels use conical lug nuts? Because I have stock acorn bulge lugnuts and the website for the wheels say robust conical lugnuts. Will the acorn bulge ones not work?

So i just randomly came across some info that's got me curious. Are the renix and ho flywheels different (window spacing/count for the cps). I ask because my 88 mj i got had a 94 motor swapped in and the guy said he had to make a custom pilot bushing (retained the puke ba10) which leads me to believe they used the ho flywheel with the ho motor. It does seem cranky alot so i wonder if this is it

I installed my hack n tap sye about a month ago now and I've noticed recently that it's leaking ATF around the oil seal that slips over the fixed yoke. Anyone had this problem and know what to do to get it to stop leaking? Any kind of stop-leak fluid available?

So i finally re-connected my vac hose to the canister (after about a year lol) But now whenever I engage cruise ctrl it speeds up 8-10mph before settling at the set speed. How can I fix this? Is the CC controloed by the computer?
