Turn signals, Hazard lights

This just started for whatever reason. When I start my 98 Wrangler I hear a blinking sound like my blinkers or hazard lights, it stops if I apply the brake. It also stops after driving for awhile. My Hazard lights do not flash, my right turn signal will blink and flash, my left turn signal will not blink or flash if I apply the arm fully, but if I hold it partway down and keep holding it, then it will flash, then sometimes it will work. Kinda sporadically.

Any ideas?

Thanks, LR

    Same problem. Rapid blinker/turn signal noise when there are no lights.

    Also left turn signal will stay lit on occasion until the bar is jiggled/moved.

Hi there,

Both the hazard and the blinker flashers are located on the fuse panel. They pull straight out.

When both turn signals fail, the cause may be a blown fuse, a faulty flasher, a broken turn signal switch or a bad connection.

When you try the turn signals, do they light up and not blink?
-If so, probably the flasher unit.

When you try the turn signals, does nothing happen?
-Check the fuse

Let me know if the problem continues after replacing the flasher.

Check the flasher unit to the hazards. They run on their own circuit.

SOURCE: The hazard lights and turn signals stopped working

You have problem with the FLASHER; the flasher is located in the Junction Block (under the dash, left of steering wheel. See diagram on this page). Check the following repair tip:

Look at the end of the flasher relay with the prongs sticking out. There will be 2 plastic tabs holding it together. Break or bend these back. Pull out the insides. On one side will be all the components. On the other side will be solder joints. Get a magnifying glass and inspect these joints. One or two will probably have stress cracks. Just dab a little flux on this joint and heat it with a soldering iron until it melts back together.

You may need to add just a little solder. Be sure to get the pins hot and not just the solder. They need a lot of heat. Slide the relay back into its cover, dab a little super glue or tape it back together, and you're ready to go.

Check the Fuse 4, 15AMP for Flasher, hazard switch (see Junction Block diagram above for location of turn signal Flasher relay - Mopar p/n 4686094).



Hope this solve it (remember comment and rated this).

It sounds like the turn signal switch is bad.

Blinkers only work sometimes

chevy had an issue with the blinkers and hazards not working all the time i found that when my turn signals stop working push the hazard switch until they blink then the turn signals start working again. its a faulty turn signal/hazard switch that needs to be replace costs about 30 bucks pretty simple to replace.

My blinkers work sometimes and then stop working for a while, then will start working again for no reason, its very random. I dont know what i should do to get this fixed.

The turn signal flasher is bad. It is built into the hazard switch. Replace the hazard switch. The next time the turn signals quit turn the hazard switch on and off a few times and see if they start working.

Turn signal doesn't come on until I hit my hazard light on & off

it could be duel filament bulb that is blown and shorting inside the bulb to the other circuit, you may need to remove all indicator and hazard bulbs and check. I would also try a new flasher can

TURN SIGNAL, BRAKE & HAZARD LIGHTS

No Turn Signal Operation (blinker)The turn signal lights in your car are a basic electrical system that controls the front and rear blinker lights to alert the intended direction of the vehicle. We have listed some of the most common problems and repair troubleshooting tips below:
Troubleshooting Procedure
To start troubleshooting this problem:
  • Turn the key to the on position (do not start engine)
  • Inspect the system fuse located in the fuse panel and replace if needed. If you cannot find the location of the blinker fuse consult your owner's manual or an online repair manual
  • When a blinker flasher fails it can cause blinker lights to say on, not blink, or not go on at all. To test the blinker system flasher, remove the flasher unit and insert a jumper wire between the two terminals. If blinker stays on in both directions without blinking, replace the flasher. If you cannot find the location of the blinker flasher consult your owners manual or an online repair manual.

No turn signals or emergency blinkers

I had the same problem twice before. Solved it the same way both times. In my case it was the Hazard switch at the top of the steering column. It was stuck. I knew it was that because the signal lights had been functioning perfectly until I parked my car alongside the road with the hazard lights on to do some nighttime fishing and sip a little white lightnin'. (just kiddin' about the white lightnin')

When I got back in my car to go, I turned off the hazard lights but I had no turn signal lights! So I kept pushing that hazard button up and down for about 30 times with my left turn signal arm down until it started working again. So after having this happen to me twice, I learned a valuable lesson: Don't ever use hazard signals in this car.
