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.
