I checked the fuses and they are all good. don't know if there is a ground somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 check the turn signal flasher/relay? It should be one of two round relays on the fuse panel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 yeah, definitely swap the 2 round relays if you haven't already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEEP_cannible Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I had the same problem,but only on one side turned out to be a front turn signal.The large socket had gotten hot,and melted.Hot wire fell out an grounded out,and popped the round relay.I replaced the socket with a newer metal one,and replaced the relay.Good to go.

cruiser54 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 also check and clean the connector featured in the photo :: CRUISER'S MOSTLY RENIX TIPS CONNECTOR AND RELAY/RECEPTACLE REFRESHING OCTOBER 30, 2015 SALAD 12 COMMENTS I suggest unplugging EVERY electrical connection in the engine bay you can find, whether engine related or not, and spraying it out with a good electronics cleaner, visually inspecting the terminals making sure they haven’t retracted into the plastic holder, and then plugging it back together. There’s a critical 10-pin connector for the front lighting system located in front of the air cleaner and behind the left headlight assembly. Don’t miss that one. Also be sure that the connectors to the ballast resistor mounted near the air cleaner housing are clean and tight. ALL of the relays should be removed, the terminals wire-brushed until shiny, and the receptacles sprayed out with contact cleaner. Then plug them back in. I do this on every Renix Jeep I purchase or work on for someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would check if My jeep wasnt 200 miles away Also what should I do if a connector looks like or is missing pieces? Planning ahead for when I get to work on my jeep again? @cruiser54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 I cleaned the headlight harness connecter with a wire brush and contact cleaner, and I swapped in a new flasher relay still no luck. The hazards are still working fine but no turn signals, not even the light on the dash comes on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All around mj Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 On mine, before I did the high output swap, my driver side park lamp socket was bad. I replaced it with a Ford one. I can’t remember what the part number was but the only difference was the blue and brown wires were switched. I’ll see if I can track down the part number later.

All around mj Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I guess what I really mean is checking the contacts inside the parking/turn signal lamp sockets is what ended up fixing my problem and if I had been more careful taking the nasty one apart, instead of losing the piece that flew across the garage, a good cleaning would have been an easier fix.

Smoketrail Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I have same problem. Hazard lights, brake lights, reverse lights, work fine but neither the right nor the left turn signal lights up on the outside, and also no indicator on the dash. I replaced the fuse, but no effect.

Ωhm Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 As mentioned in previous postings, did you swap the Turn flasher with Hazard flasher and try the Turn Signals again? You say new fuse was installed. Was old fuse blown? Is new fuse blown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fryedaddy Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 May have been discussed but I was having issues with my drivers side turn and parking lights in the front. My rear turn signals and parking lights worked. This weekend I pulled the C101 connector and the connector that attaches to the fuse box. This fixed both issues.

Ωhm Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 TURN B/U fuse is fed B+ from the IGN SW (A terminal). Terminal A is both a KEY ON and ACC circuit. Other things are on this circuit. Do the following items work properly with IGN SW in the ON position and properly in the ACC position? Blower Motor, Wiper Motor, Horn, Radio Also, YR??? ENG???

Thanks, I will check those things. It is a 1989 Jeep Comanche with 4.0 inline 6 cylinder engine, 5 speed manual transmission and air conditioning, retrofitted to 134a refrigerant.

Smoketrail Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Tested everything in the ACC position. AC blower worked, radio worked, wipers worked, and Horn worked after a couple presses. Turn signals still do not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ωhm Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Remove Turn Signal Flasher. Check for B+ in one of the two slots. DVOM or Testlight will work here. Edit: Turn KEY ON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoketrail Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Removed both flashers and tested voltage. Hazard socket went from 0-11 volts when hazards were turned on while the turn signal socket went only from 0-.15 volts when turning on the signals. What next?

Ωhm Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Did you get my EDIT about Turn KEY ON. Hazard are HOT all the time, while Turn Signal Flasher needs KEY ON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoketrail Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 All tests were done with key on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ωhm Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 With no voltage to the Turn Signal Flasher, need to check the TURN B/U fuse for B+. When you look straight on at the fuse you'll notice two little windows. Measure for B+ at fuse between little windows and ground. KEY ON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
