97TJ blinkers/part 2
 

the hazards work fine and the switch is in the proper spot. I replaced the
blinker fuse and it had no effect. NOW I have an aftermarket alarm
(Sidewinder) that has a red light on top of the steering column. Since my
trouble running down the battery, that alarm is always loaded and ready to
blow. I have to hit the defeat switch to start the Jeep. The alarm was off for
2 years and I ignored it as a function & admit to not knowing shat about it,
but I could take it to the installer. Could this have some effect on the
blinkers being dead?

Have you swapped the emergency flasher unit for the blinker unit?
Both should be located in the same area and they are interchangeable.

One flasher handles both jobs.
