97TJ blinkers/part 2

Calvin8tor did pass the time by typing:

Have you swapped the emergency flasher unit for the blinker unit? Both should be located in the same area and they are interchangeable.

I sent you email, Calvin. Check it out.

One flasher handles both jobs.

That was the way I read the schematic, too. No one else seemed to agree. I am leaning toward a multifunction switch.

Jerry

Oh well, so much for that idea. Never worked on a vehicle that used only one blinker module. "It's a Jeep thing..." I suppose. :/

Can you jumper the harness, bypass the switch, and find out that way?

Your blinkers have a fuse and a flasher unit. Did you try swapping the flasher unit with the emergency flasher unit?

I can't see the alarm messing up, well... I take that back, does the alarm set off the horn and signals when it fires off?

If so, then there is very likely your problem.

Ya man, how cheap can chrysler go? I have never seen a single flasher either.

My guess is the alarm...

Mike

Well, when you know everything, you can't be bothered by some guy with a schematic. LOL

There's still the possibility of it being a blown fuse. The hazards are powered by unswitched battery power, while the turn signals are switched B+. Two different fuses. All the fancy stuff is done in the MFS, so that's a pretty good guess if it's not a fuse.

Figures, just one more 'easy' test taken away from the average user eh.

No more 'just swap the flashers' to test them. Now it's 'go spend some money' to test them.
