Alritey, when the blinkers go on, it blinks super fast left and right side

when fourways go on they don't flash at all

 

I'm thinking its ust a fuse problem???

 

does anyone know what I should be checking???

 

Never done car electrical befor????

sounds like a bad ground or a bad flasher. the emergency flasher could be bad or vice versa w/ the main.

[CWLONGSHOT]

Not positive if its this way on MJ's but many auto's use TWO FLASHERS. oner for signals and the other for the 4 ways.

 

SO, if MJ's are the same I would say you have two seperate problems. they could very well be ground problems.

 

I would check all bulbs then change out the flasher (s).

mine did the same thing with a broken bulb in the front when i was in an accident, i remember the flashers not working when i tryed to put them on right after i was hit, even tho the turn signals still worked. so i would say a ground problem or maybe as simple as a bulb being funky.

mj's use two differnet flashers, and the power runs from the hazard flasher to the blinker flasher at the fuse box IIRC.

I'd check grounds, especcially at the front sockets.

the turning signals work, they are just super slow and the 4 ways don't work at all. it wouldnt be a full focus of mine ( i wouold the fix the others first) but i need for the safety

[Oizarod115]

the turn signals on my brothers 90 XJ are really "lazy" is what i call them, they are slow as hell. but its not really a problem on his jeep. the hazards have a special relay in the fuse panel you check that?

Sounds like your flashers are going bad. I had a 96' blazer that did the lazy blinker thing untill they quit flashing all together. Then I had to take the f-ing dash apart to get to the flashers which are underneath the radio. But that is a different story, replace your flashers first they are cheap and you might be pleasantly suprised.

[sinnaevd]

will do

 

how cheap is cheap??

like in the 20 buck range???

[jbhill]

the round flasher is around 3 bux at the most.

the round flasher is around 3 bux at the most.

Like jb said, should be cheap if it's the round ones. My GMC had a round one and it was 99 cents. My Toy has a different style and it was $18.99...
