allowing current flow to the lamps. As the bimetal
strip cools, the contact points are pushed open and
the cycle repeats.
COMBINATION FLASHER (XJ ONLY)
The combination flasher functions as both the turn
signal and hazard warning flasher on XJ models. The
combination flasher is a smart relay that is located in
the relay center under the lower instrument panel
and inboard of the steering column. The combination
flasher can not be repaired. If faulty, it must be
replaced.
The combination flasher is designed to handle the
current flow requirements of the factory installed
lighting. If supplemental lighting is added to the turn
signal circuits such as when towing a trailer with
lights, the combination flasher will automatically
compensate. This allows the flash rate to remain the
same, regardless of electrical load increases. However,
if a bulb fails in the turn signal or hazard warning
circuits, the flash rate of the remaining bulbs in that
circuit will increase to 120 flashes per minute or
higher.
TURN SIGNAL/HAZARD WARNING SWITCH
(YJ ONLY)
The turn signal and hazard warning switches are
combined into a single unit mounted within the upper
steering column bowl and beneath the steering wheel.
The turn signal lever on the left side of the steering
column is moved up or down to select the right or left
turn signal switch position. The turn signals will only
operate with the ignition switch in the ACCESSORY
or ON position.
The hazard warning button on the right side of the
steering column is pushed in to turn the hazard
warning system on, or pulled out to turn the system
off. The hazard warning system will operate regard-
less of ignition switch position. The turn signal/haz-
ard warning switch can not be repaired. If faulty, the
entire unit must be replaced.
MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH (XJ ONLY)
The multi-function switch assembly (Fig. 1) is
mounted to the left side of the steering column. This
switch contains electrical circuitry for the following
functions:²turn signals
²hazard warning
²headlamp beam selection
²headlamp optical horn
²windshield wipers
²windshield washers.
The information contained in this group addresses
only the switch functions for the turn signal and
hazard warning circuits. For information relative to
other switch functions, refer to the appropriate group.
However, the multi-function switch can not be re-
paired. If any function of the switch is faulty, the
entire switch assembly must be replaced.
TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR LAMPS
These lamps are located in the instrument cluster.
They flash with the exterior turn signal lamps to give
the driver a visual indication that a turn signal or the
hazard warning circuit is operating. For diagnosis
and service of this component, refer to Group 8E -
Instrument Panel and Gauges.
TURN SIGNAL LAMPS
The exterior lamps included in the turn signal and
hazard warning circuits include: the front park/turn
signal, and the rear tail/stop/turn signal. For diagno-
sis and service of these lamps, refer to Group 8L -
Lamps.

DIAGNOSIS
When diagnosing the turn signal or hazard warning
circuits, remember that high generator output can
burn out bulbs rapidly and repeatedly. If this is a
problem on the vehicle being diagnosed, refer to
Group 8A - Battery/Starting/Charging Systems Diag-
nostics to test charging system.
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN AIR-
BAG, REFER TO GROUP 8M - RESTRAINT SYS-
TEMS BEFORE ATTEMPTING STEERING WHEEL
COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. FAILURE
TO TAKE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT
IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POS-
SIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
TURN SIGNAL/HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM - XJ
(1) Turn ignition switch to ON position. Actuate the
turn signal lever or hazard warning button. Observe
the turn indicator lamp(s) in the instrument cluster.
If the flash rate is very high, check for a turn signal
bulb that is not lit. Replace that bulb or repair cir-
cuits to that lamp, as required. Test operation. If turn
indicator does not light, continue to next step.
(2) Remove and inspect fuse 8 (turn signals) in
fuseblock module, or fuse F13 (hazard warning) in the
Power Distribution Center. Replace fuse, if required.
(3) Remove combination flasher from relay center
and replace with a known good unit. Test operation of
turn signal and hazard warning systems. If OK, re-place faulty combination flasher. If not OK, remove
test flasher and go to next step.
(4) With ignition switch in ON position, check for
battery voltage at cavity for flasher terminal J1 (Fig.
2). If OK, go to next step. If not OK, repair circuit to
ignition switch as required.
(5) With ignition switch in OFF position, check for
battery voltage at cavity for flasher terminal J2. If
OK, go to next step. If not OK, repair circuit to Power
Distribution Center as required.
(6) With ignition switch in OFF position, check for
continuity between cavity for flasher terminal J5 and
a good ground. There should be continuity. If OK, go
to next step. If not OK, repair circuit to ground as
required.
(7) Locate the multi-function switch connector. See
Multi-Function Switch, in this group. Check for conti-
nuity between cavity for flasher terminal J3 and cav-
ity 13 of the multi-function switch connector. There
should be continuity. If OK, go to next step. If not OK,
repair open circuit as required.
(8) Check for continuity between cavity for flasher
terminal J4 and cavity 17 of the multi-function switch
connector. There should be continuity. If OK, test
multi-function switch. If not OK, repair open circuit
as required.
TURN SIGNAL SYSTEM - YJ
A turn signal indicator lamp that remains lit (with-
out flashing) is an indication of a burned out exterior
turn signal bulb or faulty exterior lamp circuit. Check

lamps and repair circuits or replace bulbs as re-
quired. If system still does not function properly, pro-
ceed as follows.
(1) Locate fuseblock module under driver's side of
instrument panel. Remove and inspect fuse 4. If OK,
go to next step. If not OK, replace fuse as required.
(2) Replace turn signal flasher (light blue can in
fuseblock module) with a known good unit. Test op-
eration. If OK, replace faulty turn signal flasher. If
not OK, remove test flasher and go to next step.
(3) Turn ignition switch to ACCESSORY position.
Check for battery voltage at flasher cavity on left
(closest to hazard flasher). If OK, go to next step. If
not OK, repair circuit to fuse 4 as required.
(4) Turn ignition switch to OFF position. See Turn
Signal/Hazard Warning Switch Remove/Install to lo-
cate steering column connector. Unplug connector.
(5) Turn ignition switch to ACCESSORY position.
Check for battery voltage at connector terminal L. If
OK, replace turn signal/hazard warning switch. If not
OK, repair circuit between turn signal flasher and
steering column connector.
HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM - YJ
(1) Locate Power Distribution Center (PDC) near
battery tray in engine compartment. Remove and in-
spect fuse F5. If OK, go to next step. If not OK,
replace fuse as required.(2) Replace hazard warning flasher (metal can in
fuseblock module) with a known good unit. Test op-
eration. If OK, replace faulty hazard warning flasher.
If not OK, remove test flasher and go to next step.
(3) Check for battery voltage at flasher cavity on
left (closest to hazard flasher). If OK, go to next step.
If not OK, repair circuit to fuse F5 in PDC as re-
quired.
(4) See Turn Signal/Hazard Warning Switch Re-
move/Install to locate steering column connector. Un-
plug connector.
(5) Check for battery voltage at connector terminal
K. If OK, replace turn signal/hazard warning switch.
If not OK, repair circuit between hazard warning
flasher and steering column connector.
MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH - XJ
(1) Access multi-function switch connector and re-
move. See service procedures for Multi-Function
Switch, in this group.
(2) Using an ohmmeter, perform switch continuity
checks at the switch terminals as shown in the chart
(Fig. 3).
