Electrical problem 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic 18800 miles

The other day my turn signals stopped working the hazard light still work but when I use my turn signal there is nothing the outside or the ones on the dash don't work I went and bought a book and everyone says change the flasher relay I can't find it I know I don't have a combo for the turn and hazards I replaced that and still nothing I looked under the dash and on the fuse box nothing there for the flasher does anyone know where it is please help.

I looked there it is not there I have been told about four different places I can't find it anywhere.

Is the hazard flasher is under the steering wheel and the turn signal flasher can't be found anywhere if you have any other ideas please help

Cherokee Sport 4.0 4x4 I had some people say it might be behind the glove box or in the steering column

Front seating area, driver side, driver side of steering column, under dash, mounted in upper left corner of fuse panel. For future reference, the turn signal flasher and hazard units are usually located under the dash either to the left or right of the steering column on most models.

Use this guide

Here are some diagrams of the fuse box and location along with the wiring diagrams for the system.

Okay my sources all point to the same place for the 6 cylinder Sport so I don't know why it wouldn't be there. It is possible that its on a relay block behind the glove compartment.

Please let us know what happens so it will help others.

I am running into the same issue. All information says the flashers are on the fuse block, just as illustrated above, but they are not. There is a location for them, but the connector cavities are empty.

Found another relay block with a square black Bosch unit that looks like a relay or a flasher. One wiring diagram I found online says thiis is a "dual flasher", but, the same diagram says it should have four wires, connecting to it, and it has five. There is a light gray wire that I can't identify.

Any information you can provide would be greatly apprecitated.
Thanks,
John

I have the same problem. Hazards work, but no turn signals.

Found the same secondary relay block under the steering column that John speaks of. This is where my hazard flasher is found. Coming off of it, is a thinner flasher-looking part. Looks like a silver cannister with three blades. When my turn signal first started to malfunction, this cannister was very hot to the touch. Since my turn signals have quit altogether, this part stays cool.

It has no numbers or identification on it. No car part strores around me can identify it. My guess is it a dealer only part, but with no part numbers on it, am I wasting time trying to find a dealer that will have it.
