Strange Blinker Issue

Dec 15, 2004 7 Replies

My 2002 TJ is having a strange problem with its blinkers. When ever you turn on either the left or right blinker, it will blink normally for a few times, then blink rapidly for a brief moment and then stop. Any suggestions?



Many thanks!


Either you have an intermittent ground on your blinker relay, or the relay itself is bad. I'm not sure where the relay unit is on the '02, on my '00 it is under the dash just to the right of the steering column.

Time to replace the blinker fluid ... the #80 is ok for summer use, but as winter approaches, a multigrade 5W30 is required to ensure that the blinkers work properly at startup and still provide adequate lubrication once the blinkers warm up.

ok, and old one :-)

In the words of Foghorn Leghorn... "it's a joke son!"

and "that boy's about as sharp as a bowlin' ball!"

Is that hard to get to? As in could it easily be done by myself or is it something a professional should look at?
