mjfreak Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I searched and didn't see anything like what I've got going on....my blinkers work perfectly....and then nothing....I've pulled fuse block apart and cleaned it....added all the suggested grounds, updated front bulb sockets to 97+, rear is a flatbed with led lights. When they stop working, I wiggle all the wires under dash with no change......then just randomly they work again....when they aren't working i have found that the purple wire on the multi function swith will be blinking with test light but blinkers aren't working....if i had hair I would be pulling it out. Open to suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 could be a loose or corroded connection in the wiring or in the multi-function stalk. those suck to have to track down.   did this happen before the LEDs were installed?  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle_SX4 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 The most common issue with the blinkers is the front bulb sockets themselves. They get corroded and cause all sorts of strange issues. The only fix is to cut the old ones off and wire new ones in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchamakalit Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Check your hazard switch in the column. I know mine can occasionally get bumped to the point its almost half engaged and causes my signals to do goofy stuff. I just pull it or push it (I don't remember which way is off ) and all is right again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 make sure the little tab in the bottom of the socket isn't squashed flat and failing to make contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle_SX4 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Have you tried swapping the turn signal and hazard flashers yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve got a short in the system. Look for a bad filament in the bulb or socket issue. Even though you swapped the front clip it’s still very common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjfreak Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 I will be addressing the front sockets tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherOldJeepGuy Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I'll throw this in because it worked for me. When I was having some turn sig issues maybe as much as 10y back, I installed 2057 bulbs in the rear even though the manual calls for 1156 in the rear and 2057 in the front. The gremlins went away and they all worked correctly after doing this and have continued to do so. I don't know what the difference in the bulbs really is, or why I even tried this, but regardless it was successful.

mjfreak Posted Monday at 04:51 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 04:51 PM I have 97+ fronts and leds in flatbed. Making these upgrades didn't change anything....I feel its in fuse block....I'm going to try to bypass with inline fuse if I can find correct wires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The turn signal switch itself may be the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
