Turn Signal Problems?
 
The turn signals in my '89 Jeep Cherokee suddenly stopped working a few days
ago. Whenever I try to engage them (either side) nothing happens, no lights
either on in the dashboard or outside and no chime. At first I thought is
was just a fuse but they all checked out fine. Anybody have any ideas? I
would really hate to take this into the shop 'cause I know they would charge
me an arm and a leg even if its something simple, any help would be greatly
appreciated.

First guess would be the flasher unit. (about $2.00, NAPA NFL224, I think)
Do the emergency blinkers work?

I thought about that but if it its just the flasher wouldn't the lights come
on and just not blink?

Have you used your hazards lately? I find that if I use my hazards, but don't
turn them off all the way (slide the toggle all the way to the right), then my
turn signals sometimes don't work.

Just a thought.

No.

Fire up the emergency flasher and follow the click to the unit. Then
look on the fuse panel for one that looks the same and swap them. If
the signals work, you need a new flasher.

You need to swap them back too, usually the emergency one is light duty
and even half the size/length and will burn out too fast. They are
round tubes one or two inches long by 3/4" round. If the plug fits, it
will work even if the emergency can size is shorter.

Not if the contacts inside the thermal flasher are burned. The flasher is
really simple inside: A little bimetal strip (remember those from 6th
grade science class?) conducts power until it gets hot, then it bends away
from the contact and opens the circuit. Petoink. When it cools it bends
back and closes the circuit again. The higher the electrical load the
faster it gets hot and the higher the flash rate, that's why adding a
trailer with lights makes your lights flash faster and having a burned out
bulb makes them flash slower -- or not at all.

Try your 4-way flashers. If they all work then you know that it isn't a
wiring harness problem, if they don't flash but come on with a very faint
glow (that you won't be able to see under sunlight), you've probably got a
ground problem.

Happy hunting.

It sounds like another case of poor maintenance.
Most of you guys keep up on things like oil changes, tire rotation, brake
fluid flush, gear oil changes, but when was the last time you changed your
blinker fluid? I change mine every two years, and prefer to use a premium
DOT 7 synthetic fluid like "Kale's" rather than the cheap DOT 6 sold at most
parts stores.
Be sure and select the proper viscosity for the altitude where you live.

Well yeah Paul, all of that is good advice, but unless you
also regularly swap out the old electrons and filter, it does
no good. Plus you need to regularly flush the photons and
dark-suckers from each bulb, or they eventually just go dark
and quit.

I think the red stuff is better than the blue stuff.
