change turn signal

You might start by telling us what flavor of Jeep you have?

In 'real Jeeps' by sticking your left arm straight out the driver's side you signal the intention to turn left. The arm bent upwards at the elbow indicated a right hand turn and the arm bent downward at the elbow shows your intent to stop.

If this does not address your problem please provide more information.

What is the actual problem? Is the flasher not working at all, only some lamps, bulbs burned out, etc?

What have you tried?

That normally means one bulb is burned out or has a bad contact. Turn on the signals and walk around the vehicle to see which bulb is out or which one flashes really dim. Then change that bulb.

If you to actually answer the questions sent to you the diagnosis and repair of the problem would go faster. As you are unable or unwilling to do so here is the diagnostic information from the Factory Service Manual: DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TURN SIGNAL &

HAZARD WARNING SYSTEMS

When diagnosing the turn signal or hazard warning

circuits, remember that high generator output

can burn out bulbs rapidly and repeatedly. If this is a

problem on the vehicle being diagnosed, be certain to

diagnose and repair the charging system as required.

If the problem being diagnosed is related to a failure

of the turn signals to automatically cancel following

completion of a turn, inspect the multi-function

switch for a faulty or damaged cancel actuator and

inspect the turn signal cancelling cam lobes on the

clockspring mechanism for damage or improper

installation. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

The wiring information includes wiring diagrams,

proper wire and connector repair procedures,

details of wire harness routing and retention, connector

pin-out information and location views for the

various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.

WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS,

DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BEFORE

ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING

COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT

DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE

THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE,

THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM

CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PERFORMING

FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS

IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG

SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS

COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG

DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL

INJURY.

(1) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.

Actuate the turn signal switch or the hazard warning

switch. Observe the turn signal indicator lamp(s) in

the instrument cluster. If the flash rate is very high,

check for a turn signal bulb that is not lit or is very

dimly lit. Repair the circuits to that lamp or replace

the faulty bulb, as required. If the turn signal indicator(

s) fail to light, go to Step 2.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.

Check the turn signal fuse (Fuse 12 - 10 ampere) in

the Junction Block (JB) and/or the hazard warning

fuse (Fuse 20 - 15 ampere) in the Power Distribution

Center (PDC). If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair

the shorted circuit or component as required and

replace the faulty fuse(s).

(3) Check for battery voltage at the hazard warning

fuse (Fuse 20 - 15 ampere) in the PDC. If OK, go

to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit

between the PDC and the battery as required.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.

Check for battery voltage at the turn signal fuse

(Fuse 12 - 10 ampere) in the JB. If OK, go to Step 5.

If not OK, repair the open fused ignition switch output

(accessory/run) circuit between the JB and the

ignition switch as required.

(5) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.

Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.

Remove the combination flasher from its wire harness

connector and replace it with a known good

unit. Connect the battery negative cable. Test the

operation of the turn signal and hazard warning systems.

If OK, discard the faulty combination flasher.

If not OK, remove the test flasher and go to Step 6.

(6) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.

Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch

output (accessory/run) circuit cavity in the instrument

panel wire harness connector for the combination

flasher. If OK, go to Step 7. If not OK, go to Step

2. (7) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.

Place the hazard warning switch in the On position.

Check for battery voltage again at the fused B(+) circuit

cavity in the instrument panel wire harness connector

for the combination flasher. If OK, go to Step

1. If not OK, go to Step 9.

(8) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative

cable. Check for continuity between the ground circuit

cavity of the instrument panel wire harness connector

for the combination flasher and a good ground.

There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 9. If not

OK, repair the open ground circuit to ground as

required.

(9) Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness

connector from the left multi-function switch connector

receptacle. Check for continuity between the

flasher output circuit cavities in the instrument

panel wire harness connector for the combination

flasher and in the instrument panel wire harness

connector for the left multi-function switch. There

should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 10. If not OK,

repair the open flasher output circuit between the

combination flasher and the left multi-function

switch as required.

(10) Check for continuity between the hazard

flasher select signal circuit cavities in the instrument

panel wire harness connector for the combination

flasher and in the instrument panel wire harness

connector for the left multi-function switch. There

should be continuity. If OK, test the left multi-function

switch. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/

LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/LEFT MULTI-FUNCTION

SWITCH - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If not OK,

repair the hazard flasher select signal circuit

between the combination flasher and the left multifunction

switch as required.

Well, yes it does make a difference. One will be blown out and one won't. You will have to put it in park or set the emergency brake or have the key just in 'run' with the engine off and put on the signal, then get out and go look...

They come apart differently. One, the back you have to take the cover off, then remove the bulb and the other you remove the bulb from under the fender after you cut the steering wheel all the way over to the left if I remember right. The bulb's socket rotates a quarter turn counter clockwise to remove it I think. (I have a CJ7, mine are different)
