Just to recap, the flasaher units (two of them) are round and approximately
the diameter of a quarter. There are 2 of them because one operates the turn
signals and one operates the emergency flashers. If you pushed and pulled on
them and they started working "properly", they could be having internal
issues and it might be a good idea to simply replace them. I forget how old
you said your Jeep is, but if the turn signals begin to be erratic,
replacing the flashers makes lots of sense.

My logic may be flawwed, but I think the Emergency Flasher gets two pins on
it, and the Turn Signal Flasher gets three.
