Steering Column Repair: steering column and blinkers, jeep cherokee, hazard lights


Question
So i replaced my ignition lock in my '92 Jeep Cherokee and im trying to put the steering column back together but as i do that my blinkers dont work but my hazard lights do i have checked my fuses and nothing wrong with them. im not sure what im doing wrong or what im forgetting. they worked before i took it all apart now i just dont know what im doing wrong.

Answer
Hi Sherell:
The only thing different in the circuit for the signals and the 4-ways is they use a different flasher (under the dash).  If the 4 ways work, then it sounds like you have plugged everything in.  If the flashers light up but don't flash, then I would check the flasher (swap it with the one that you know works for the 4-ways).
If the signals don't light up, then it may be the connector for the signals switch isn't snapped together all the way---check that, or you missed a fuse that is blown for the signals--check it with a test light.

I hope this helps
Doug
