Default blinker won't blink.

I have a 93 zj and my passenger side blinkers, front and rear, do not blink. I turn it on and it just stays lit. It worked fine until the other day the front bulb blew out so I replaced it and now they don't blink. Just odd... Any suggestions?

Check your blinker fluid? JK. I would replace both bulbs at the same time.

Seriously? Well, I would dissasemble and clean the turn signal/headlight switch. Check for loose or broken solder joints or burnt contacts. You might check for fuses. I don't know about turn signals, but there are 4 fuses for the headlights!

Deloy, what are you doing? you seem to have a lot of problems.

Hello I have the same jeep and problem I did replace both bulbs as well but all thata did is cause my vic to go out and I noticed when I took out all my old bulbs the terminal on the bottom of the bulbs had melted into a indent matching the terminal on the jeep side so wtf and brake lights dont work ….. this is frustrating. I hope you fixed this if so let me know.
