Flasher fuse question
 

I have a 93 Cherokee 4.0L and my turn indicator flashers have stopped
working. I noticed that the fuse gets very warm to the touch. I pressed
all the fuses in to make sure they were secure and for a few seconds my
flashers started to work, then stopped again. I want to replace the
fuse. Is this something I have to get at the dealer or can I get one at
the local AutoZone?

Thanks.

Re: Flasher fuse question
 

You need to pull the fuse and clean it. If it is corroded, you need to
figure out why.

A leaking brake or clutch master cylinder can leak into the inside and
literally eat up the fuse panel.

Water can leak in there from the windshield and rust/rot out the fuse
panel too.

Re: Flasher fuse question
 

Mike,
Is he talking about the fuse, or the flasher unit itself? I suppose the
answer is moot, either one can be found down the street at Auto Zone. I
think his problem is the flasher unit though, not the fuse.
