Car Forum / Jeep / April 2007Turn signals inop, Front turns flash when I hit Brakes.
I have a 76 Jeep CJ7, Recently my turn signals stopped working, so I thought it was the flasher/relay. I replaced it. Still no turn signals. In addition, when I apply the brakes, the front turn signals/ parking lights illuminate with the brakes, so it looks like my brake lights go to the front and the rear. Any Suggestions? Thanks > I have a 76 Jeep CJ7, Recently my turn signals stopped working, so I > thought it was the flasher/relay. I replaced it. Still no turn > signals.

Thanks Most likely the bolts that hold the rear fixtures in place have gotten rusty. The brakes and signals ground through the fixture and the running lights ground through the harness. The brakes will steal grounds through the running lights and turn them on when theirs fails. This happens lots when folks put brush guards on the lights because it moves the bolts to rusty spots.

Could it be lighting up your parking/running lights? if so, you may have a rear brakelight bulb in wrong. or the wrong type bulb in the taillight,. A 1156 where a 1157 is needed will do this. >I have a 76 Jeep CJ7, Recently my turn signals stopped working, so I >thought it was the flasher/relay. I replaced it. Still no turn >signals.

A 1156 where a 1157 is needed will do this. It could also be a bad ground because all kinds of strange things can happen when a ground in panel area opens up. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com I had the same exact problem, but on my 97 TJ. The signals worked ok, but the left signal would light up with the brake lights. A new turn signal switch solved the problem. |
