Just looking for a little advice with my flasher relay. About a month ago my driver side, side turn signal went out, but the bulb was still good. The relay was buzzing so I replaced it with an EP27 relay but it then gave me rapid flashers and eventually took a shit a week later. I then bought the LM470 relay and now my turn singles work fine when my headlights are off (except for the forward facing turn single won’t illuminate) and when my headlights are turned on my driver side side marker turn signal doesn’t work and it won’t even signal that I’m turning (no flash). I’ve had led headlights and taillights for years and haven’t had these issues until now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’m driving a 2003 Jeep Wrangler X
 
Check the grounds under each headlight bucket for corrosion. Also grounds behind each speaker panel and kick panels. Firewall, and battery terminals.

Your multifunction switch might be going out but let's do some preventative maintenance first.

Once you have checked all the recommended grounds and the turn signal and side marker light bulb terminals inside the bulb receptacles and there is no oxidation; check the MFS wiring harness connectors for signs of overheating and oxidation of the harness connector clips.

To clean the MFS internal contacts; you can use DeOxitD5 and spray inside the MFS (plastic safe terminal cleaner).
Remove the MFS and disconnect the wiring harness connectors before spraying the cleaner into the MFS. Cycle the turn signal stalk numerous times to clean the internal contacts and allow the MFS to sit for 5-10 minutes or direct pressurized air into the MFS so the contact cleaner will fully evaporate BEFORE reconnecting the wiring harness connectors to test the functions.
 
Welp… checked all my grounds and thoroughly investigated the mfs. I do have probable cause to believe that the MFS could be failing. I did replace it not five or six years ago so I could see the white lettering again
