Turn signal problems 2001 TJ-resolution
Guest
Posts: n/a
Posted back in November and December about my turn signal issues;
inoperative initially on startup, except the brake light would cancel on the
side the signal stalk was moved. After the dealer had the Jeep in the shop a
number of times the issue was finally found. The fuse panel behind the glove
box had a lose connection in the turn signal circuit. This was fixed and all
is all right. Service manual circuit diagram shows that the turn signal and
brake switch circuit to the turn signal control unit run in parallel. I
think that the brake switch line was actually "back feeding" the circuit;
could get the signals to cancel and even light up with the turn signal stalk
held at the exact right position. I have obtained the service manual, since
I want to keep this machine a while. Hope this info might help someone in
the future.
