Simple fix, just replace the turn signal module, they run about 25 to 35 dollars. Just have to pull the lower dash bezel to get at the steering column shroud.

Go to the resource section and download the Service Manual for your Jeep, they give full instructions.

Thanks a lot for the reply Jim

is your steering wheel centered when driving in a straight line? if not, get it centered before you start replacing parts.

This is something I need to do. My right blinker hasnt been self cancelling for well over a year. A few weeks ago I felt quite a bit of resistance when I tried to hit the left blinker, then a snap. Now the left wont cancel.

My wheel is centered ok.It might be some adjustment.If I crank it further in the cancelling direction it works.

I have the same issue.. 1998 wrangler. Just purchased fixing the small stuff.

Same issue with my 98. The left stopped after a snap noise. Then later the right stopped. I am now accustomed to cancelling them manually. Someone should fix theirs and do a writeup for the rest of us.

 

[Costillia]

Exactly the same as what mine did. I'm going to put it on my hit list!!

Turn signal not cancelling is more likely the tab on the clock spring broken, not the the turn signal switch. Still not very difficult, but you need to pull the steering wheel and the clock spring is more expensive.

That is what I was thinking. The wheel come off and then look it over!

Wait, they were supposed to do this in the first place? Mine didn't do that when I bought it so I just assumed that it was some weird jeep thing.

 

[Costillia]

That could be... a timed release. Maybe designed to keep us awake!!!

So... I took mine apart, and the turn signal switch works as it should. However the clock spring tab that resets the blinker is missing. New one on order and maybe by weeks en I will know wht my tj had wrong!!

 

[Costillia]

Conclusion.. I replaced the clock spring and all is as it should be with my turn signals returning and canceling.. Good luck with your project and I hope this helps someone.

Mine haven't been self canceling since I bought it about 3 years ago. I haven't been bothered enough to fix it. What part of NM are you from? We have 4 or 5 members in the state.

It's the turn signal switch. I had the same problem with my 1997 Wrangler, and I changed it and it works perfectly. Pretty easy to change.

Anyone have the part number for the turn signal assembly for a 2000? Found the Dorman unit on Amazon, but it has a large number of negative reviews.

Options?
