I recently purchased a 2000 TJ. I am having an electrical issue. I am hoping maybe someone had similar issue before I start trouble shooting. The issue has several components effected. That’s why I don’t really know where to start. The turn signals rarely work. Same with hazard lights. I can fiddle with the hazard switch and get them to work. And with doing this sometimes the turn signals work. Also the radio will all the sudden lose complete power. Will not come back on until you shut vehicle completely off and restart. Sometime this happens as soon as I touch turn signal. But not always. And lastly there have been some kc lights added to the Jeep. They are operated by 2 toggle switches. Theses lights only work when turn signals are operational. So several different issues that are all different but I have a feeling they are all connected. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
 
I'd say start with checking the wiring to those added KC lights. Do you also have an aftermarket hitch?
 
Double-check that wiring. I have seen multiple jeeps with problems due to bad installation of the wiring harness provided with those kits. I'd start with those two items.
 
Thanks. I will start there. It was just throwing me off because if you wiggle the hazard switch. It will all start to work.
