93 grand Cherokee help, please
I'm having issues with my right turn signal. It stays solid (on dash and both signals), my left signal blinks and the hazards blink. I've changed the bulb and it still stays solid on the right. The guy at Autozone said that it shouldn't be the relay because both signals would stay solid. Help! Please! My inspection is due and I don't think they'll pass with a manual blinker. Haha.

I think you have a grounding problem in the right circuit, probably in the tail light housing.

If it's your passanger side check behind your driver tail light for any shorted wire. I had this issue last year and ended up finding a short on one of the wires behind the driver tail lamp

Okay, sorry it's taken so long to reply, I've been trying to fix my beast! I took it to the mechanic and he said my ground looks fine. He changed out the small turn signal bulb, and we got a really slow blink. Which was fine, cause I need it inspected ASAP (stopped working when I took it to get it inspected, figures). Well, now the small bulb stays on when my headlights are on but when I turn my headlights on, my blinker wont blink only stay solid. Any help would be great!!

I haven't even thought of looking at the driver side tail light. I will try that and see how it looks. ☺

Does your '93 have bayonet base bulbs or wedge base bulbs? Some jeeps have problems with the wedge base bulbs getting hot enough to melt the contacts in the removable base of the bulb (socket) and loosing contact. Pull out the bulb and take it out of it's holder. Look inside the holder and see if the contacts have melted into the plastic. This happens quite often if you spend a lot of time stopped in traffic with your foot on the brake.
