I purchased a 1997 J 30 last year and I love this car. Recently I have had some problems with the both the headlights and tail lights blinking once or twice and then it stops. Sometimes the lights don't blink at all. I had asked a mechanic that was changing my oil to take a look at it and he said it was called a flasher. I went to and auto parts store and asked for the flasher and they gave me the part. I brought the piece to a local mechanic and he said that he couldn't find the where that flasher went because he did not have a manual for my vehicle. The other mechanic said he didn't think the piece I had was the right piece anyway. Does anyone have any idea what the problem may be and how I can go about fixing it. Any sugesstions would be greatly appreciated. Please send suggestions to b_reel37@hotmail.com.
Did you ever find out how to fix your flasher problem? I'am having the same problem with my J30.How did you fix it? Email me at mikenice60@yahoo.com.
OK guys, I own a J30 96. The flasher is located under the dashboard on the drivers side. It is a silver looking cylindrical or rectangular little device called a relay switch that flashes when the left or right turn signal is activated. It has like prongs to plug it. Some times you find it on a fuse compartment located in the kick panel next to your left foot on the driver's side.
Also look in the engine compartment next to the battery; a plastic box with fuses. One of
those silver litter boxes could be the flasher.
