Default Blinker stuck!

I have heard that it is somewhat common for jeeps blinkers to get stuck on.. I just wanted to see if this was true? Mine gets stuck on every now and then and I have to play with it a little before it turns off, the people behind me probably think I am having issues!

I've got the same problem, If i cancel a right signal, then it will signal left for 3 cycles. It drives me nuts! Would love to find a solution to this one.

It's a highway passing feature i think... As far as I know, it's normal, and can be quite useful while changing lanes on the highway.


Just give it a little tap up or down, right before the spot where it would lock in, and it will do it.

So it will go off by itself after a few blinks?? Ha I always play with it before it gets the chance i guess!

Try it... It'll blink 3 times. then go out... You'll get used to it reallll fast

I was scratching my head the first time i drove my jeep home. Put the left blinker on while merging onto the highway, went to shut it off, and the right blinker went on.... thought the right blinker was on, so i put it down again, and got more left blinker..... Yeah, must've looked like a drunk man...

I don't think my jeep is fast enough to utilize this feature . And I'm also pretty sure mine did not go off. I always have to mess around with and look like a old person or as you said a drunk .

I dunno.... It should blink 3 times, and go out by itself. If not, maybe something is wrong. Give it a shot.
