I'm having problems with the turn signals on my Jeep. The left signal works fine. The right signal stays on steadily (does not blink on the dash or the turn signals themselves).
At night when I have the lights on, my brake lights remain on despite the fact that my foot is off the brake. When I step on the brake, all of my console lights brighten. Hmmmmmm....
Here is what I have done:
1) I replaced the fuses for the turn signals.
2) I replaced two thermal flashers (one for the turn signals and one for the hazard lights).
3) Replaced all the bulbs as this system works on a circuit, therefore if one bulb goes, everything goes... like a set of those old Christmas tree lights.
4) Checked all of the grounds. Everything is grounded properly and tightly.
5) I have a Relay that I have yet to replace. Hoping this is the problem... any ideas
Oh yeah, the right side marker light is out even though I just replaced the bulb... bad connection causing all of this?
Thanks

i have just repaired one with the same problem,i had to put the whole turn signal switch in it.all the marker light,s and turn signals,,emergency light,s work through this switch,if it fails,you get a condition known as open circuit,,which causes,all the symptoms your having,,and then some,now as for the brakes light,s staying on all the time,,make sure both of them are on,chances are,,both are not on all the time,,but it can happen,as for the ground,,make sure you have a good ground at the light it,s self,,cause this will about make you pull your hair out,,before you get it fixed,take your time,,and you,ll get it.

99% sure it's the switch. Chrysler (makes Jeep since 87) vehicles are prone to those symptons when a switch fails. Very easy to replace and should find an aftermarket that will work. If not go to a junkyard for a used one as the new one from Jeep is rather expensive.

ninety 9% particular it truly is the change. Chrysler (makes Jeep considering the fact that 87) automobiles are companies to those symptons while a change fails. truly effortless to interchange and could locate an o.e.m which will artwork. If no longer flow to a junkyard for a used one with the aid of fact the recent one from Jeep is very high priced.

I have to agree with the idea of checking the ground, also amybe the switch but i would also check and make sure the correct bulbs are in the sockets. I have seen this prob. before and it came down to mistakenly putting the wrong bulbs in.

Ok, here we go: First, it still sounds to me like you have a grounding prob. I would take another look at a wiring diagram and make sure that I had located all grounds. If absolutely all grounds pass inspection, the next likely culprit is the light switch itself.

The right side marker light is shorted. Find the short and you will be all good. Hope I have been helpful.
