94 Jeep G. Cherokee Help: Blinkers & Hazards - Page 3

stlchiefs · 04-01-2007, 08:20 PM

Well I thought my first thread would be something cooler than this, but I need the mechanics of the planet to step forward and help. I have a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Tonight while driving I noticed by blinkers had stopped working. No click, no faster click, no flash on the dashboard, no light in the front or back. My headlights and taillights work fine. My flashers also do not work nor is any sound made when I put them on. I checked the fuses (flashers and blinkers) and unfortunately that's not it.

No my Jeep does not need antifreeze, yes I do need help as I'm driving back from STL to Wichita in a few days to see the family for Easter and something tells me I'll draw the attention of a trooper or two if I make the drive without a single turn signal. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I'm not going to lie, I tried that earlier during my 5 minute intermission. Since it's dark out the lighting from the flashlight sucked so the pictures weren't worth a damn. I figured I'd just catch crap for posting the worthless pics and gave up on it. Here's the one I took of my fuse box.

It is time to look into the Chilton(?) manual to find the exact location of the turn signal relay. Most automotive stores should be able to look up the location for you and sell you the relay at the same time.

I still think it is around the steering column, up behind the dash.

stlchiefs, is your radio and windshield wipers still working?

Reason why I ask is that there is also an accessory power relay that controls the signals, radio "and" wipers for Jeeps.

stlchiefs · 04-01-2007, 10:42 PM

I know my radio is working, haven't checked my wipers.

Those large silver things could very likely be them. Bust them out with a hammer immediately.

I would check in the power distribution box under the hood.

stlchiefs · 04-02-2007, 10:52 AM

Is there any way to tell if a relay (I believe that's what the bigger silver fuse like things are) is bad or do you just have to swap them out an see?

I had a 93 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and now have a 2002 of same.
Never had that problem. Did burn through several batteries, Jeeps seem to be hard on batteries for some reason.
There are 2 fuseboxes, one is under the dash on the passenger side, right wall, and the other is under the hood, a rectangular black box, by the battery and anti-freeze overflow tank.

Maybe try this discussion thread, might find a similar problem there:
