Left indicator/turn signal does not work on my Jeep Grand Cherokee.

2000 4.7Ltr V8 Right hand drive, Grand Cherokee Limited. The left hand indicator/turn signal does not work. The left turn signal and the hazard flashers work fine. Problem is intemittant but is always there when Jeep first started. Sometimes resolves during next 20 minutes of driving, sometimes not. All bulbs fine, fuses OK. Steering column stork replaced (at great cost!). Problem not resolved. Any suggestions please.

Your question is unclear. Please clarify. Are you saying the indicator in the dash doesn't work but the signal outside the car does work? Are you saying that they both work sometime?

Neither the dash light or the left hand indicators (front, rear or side repeater) work. Checked the flashers while the Hazard lights were on and they were fine. Therefore, bulbs OK.

I had the same problem. I replaced multifunction switch and this didnt fix turn signal. So I finally replaced turn signal flasher and that did the trick. It takes a little work to reach it though. I removed the bottom panel (plastic) below steering wheel to reach it. Just becareful of airbag deployment. I located flasher then I disconnect my ground cable of battery before I did any work to be on safe side. I spent about 150 dollars trying to fix problem before I found out it was flasher. By the way there is only one flasher for all signals (hazard,turn etc.). Alex
