Just got my YJ back together after troubleshooting inoperative blinkers. Tacked to the switch itself. I took the wheel off, the spring plate, all the way down to the switch. Switch looked in tact, but really scummy on the contacts. So I pulled the switch apart and cleaned the contacts, blinkers work again.
Thank God cause I wasn't looking forward to fishing all them wires down it's throat and spending money lol
Hi, ty for the great videos, just one suggestion, it's way easier to get the pins out and reassemble the connector at the bottom that trying to pass it all together thru the steering column.
Cheers !
Thank you! Our 94 4 banger YJ needed the multi wiper switch replaced. Tried to replaced from the top. Impossible. removing the steering column was easy thanks to your video. Screws in the inside pointing up held the parts together. Only way to get to it was to remove the steering column $163 switch at Oriles. The first switch we got $100, but didn't fit. There are 3 switches for the year. Of course the one I need is the most expense.. sigh.
thanks you are a real asset to the Jeep Community
thanks for the video. Taking it apart was easy but your video helped me put it back correctly and its works. Jeep on.
Thanks for sharing this video, really helpful.
Thanks for this video. I hope I never need to replace the switch on my YJ, but if I do,I know how. Cheers!
You're welcome! I hope you get out of that ask as well!
Nice video. A few years ago I busted my turn indicator lever climbing out of the yj. Spent three weekends trying to change it out. Finally gave up and bought a used entire steering column assembly. It was expensive but a lot easier to install the whole thing than fix the turn indicator lever. Then I got some aluminum bar and fabricated a shield around the entire lever so it's impossible for my thigh/leg to ever hit the lever. My wife says it looks stupid - like a handicap bar. Don't care! This is one of those things I will never do again!
Its not very hard. Here ya go ua-cam.com/video/G0HXjWP57Ig/v-deo.html
Great video remember to leave clip on shaft on metal screwed on it is easier to put on and take off
:)
Thanks!
THANK YOU very much for the Super Thanks donation!!! It is very much appreciated! I hope the video helped solve your issue.
I needed this video!!! Thanks
Glad it was helpful! You are welcome!
Good teacher
Thank you! 😃
Chuck - you're the best brother. Followed this step by step - had to replace mine because brake lights on my 94 YJ quit working - 3rd brake light was working & all other lights too. It was driving me crazy trying to diagnose until some on a FB YJ page clued me in - the rear brake lights are routed through steering column turn signal switch! - Fixed - brake lights again! - Thank you !
thank you for your video .great in detail . do you have a video on head light adjustment .on yj wrangler
Not yet. It is a video that I have meant to do. I just need to find a "proper" place to do it. To properly adjust headlights 20 feet of flat ground projecting on a perpendicular wall is needed. I got one place that I'm going to check soon to see if it will work. Make sure you have subscribed so you don't miss it.
sweet, was looking for just this!!! quick ? for ya tho, would an issue with this cause other lighting issues? sometimes my rear drivers side tailiight wont work at all until i slightly move signal lever up a lil bit
I have to figure out what wires were crossed and where. My 05 Jeep Wrangler had a auto start installed and now when I turn on my windshield wiper it triggers the blinker sound. The blinker won't work when the wipers are on🤯😳. Good to see this video! I hope y'all have a very Merry Christmas!
What’s the block that holds the turn signal lever? I think mine is broken
My dad's turn signal stopped working but have 4 ways so we changed the and still no turn signal and ideas on what els to do changed the relay as well
What's the tool called you use after removing steering wheel and pulling lock ring?
Bet diy yj channel! Do you have to remove key lock ? Does the turn signal lever not have to come out? Are those little ball bearings just sitting in there ? Looks like a pain but at least you make it doable... Thanks
I have a y j with air do you do it the same way the heater core and blower
Thanks for the help.But I know you make it look easy. I lost turn signals and cruise. And don't know how to deal with that.Some due hickey wire or a lever thingy is wrong.1994 jeep Cherokee???
Up Jeep Leesa
Would it be a shame if it clipped and spliced those wires I'm fairly experienced with electrical but wondering if a cut them near the clip if they will just slide out with the switch
Check I'm having a problem with my YJ I can't find a turning signal replacement and arm what's the best website to go to
I have a 94 YJ with a tilt column and my turn signals don’t cancel after the turn and the wipers don’t engage (new turn signal lever just spins inside the column so I’m assuming the plastic piece that engages the wiper motor is worn out)
Now does the turn signal switch have the wiper motor switch in it as 1? Or do I need a wiper motor switch AND a turn signal switch?
Oh where was this video a couple months ago!? My turn signal lever broke off in column (I used your video to extract it). I pulled one off a 1994 Cherokee (I think) but the plastic housing was a little different so we had to modify it a little. Finally got it mostly together right & had bound up the rod for the high beams somehow 😑 My steering column had some other issues anyway so I got a rebuilt column coming *eventually*. Hope you got a video for how to replace that 😁. Oh & the turn signal shaft broke again! 😡
I don't have a video on that yet. I will "eventually" 😁.
I broke my turn signal cancel cam....... The metal piece only stays in and the spring isnt doing anything. any ideas to use for a spring?????
what is that black thing under the dash that flashes red??? cut that off?
If ive followed my diagrams right, this would control my brake lights also, correct? I no longer have brakeights but i have hazard and turn signal lights. I have 12v through the brake switch and up to column, but doesnt come out with 12v to brake lights. I have it all torn apart and new part ready ro go in. I hope this isnt a waste of time and find out im wrong..😒
how did it go? im having similar issues with mine also
Just bought my first YJ yesterday, 89 Islander with a 4.2 from a Cherokee. This is a phenomenal video. I haven't worked on a Jeep in well over 10 years, so your videos are gonna be god send. Blinkers work right now, but moving the blinker handle is very stiff and feels like it's gonna break. I also don't have bright lights. My dims work, but not the brights. Does this process have anything to do with the headlights?
Yes & no - The part he's replacing is for turn signals BUT pause this vid around 18:40 mark - on the left - (8 o'clock position) is small black box. This is where the wiper/turn signal stem clicks in - Notice in vid a small finger protrudes out (just above triangle of plastic). That’s the dimmer lever. When you pull on the wiper/signal stem it pushes that lever down on top of a metal rod that runs down most of the length of the steering column. The rod goes to another box mounted lower on the column which is the dimmer control - 1) the lever could be gummed up 2) the rod may be binding going down the column 3) dimmer control down the column might need replaced ($35-40.) Hope that helps trouble shooting. Unfortunately if the black box under steering wheel is bad you have to take the steering column out (yeah crazy) Chrysler put the screws inside & pointing upward - You can't get to them with column in the Jeep! But if your wipers are working that's probably not the issue!
@@jfisher2370 well…..crap.
I don’t even have a wiper knob. So, I can’t check that.
This is gonna be FUN! 🤪

@@lucky1867 - Are you missing the entire switch or just the signal lever? If missing lever you could try a junk yard. Easy plug & play fix & new online they range $14 to $30. BTW Chuck's got a video on getting out broken turn signal stem too. (he seems to have all the bad YJ luck - lucky for us he videos the fixes.)
@@jfisher2370 wait, I may be looking in the wrong place. Is the wiper on the turn signal? I was looking for a twist knob on the dash left of the steering column.
I also spent several confused hours searching for the dimmer switch on the floor of the Jeep…🤣😂
Was it possible just to cut the wires near the switch, and splice wires of the new switch?
I guess a person could. But you gotta make sure you keep the patch spot as thin as possible because there is very little room in there. I personally wouldn't try it, too much risk of something shorting out.
Anyone know which wires are the turn signal wires? 95 YJ
