Hello, I have an 05 TJ RME. I have been having some issues with my multifunction switch and plan to replace it, but I wanted to know whether I should plan to replace the blinker relay as well.
Previously, I had the common fog light issue, but because I don't have any fog lights installed I let it linger for a while. Recently, it got to the point that my turn signals only worked intermittently and occasionally made the 'machine gun' sound that others have referenced.
I decided to take the time to see if I could repair the multifunction switch, and successfully resolved the fog light issue. However, the turn signals went from intermittent to never functioning. The headlights and hazard lights both work normally. I have taken the multifunction switch apart and put it back together several times now and once I was able to get the turn signals working normally, but the headlights were not working because I did not install that slider correctly. When I fixed that the turn signals were back to staying off (no lights on dash, etc) no matter what I tried. I have checked all the fuses, and have not recently replaced any bulbs.
So, I was curious whether anyone here had any insight as to whether I should order a new blinker relay along with a new multifunction switch? I am unclear what exactly the relay does, and whether the hazard lights working correctly were any indication as to it's status.
Thanks in advance.
