I have an issue with the turn signal on my 85 XJ6.
The driver side (LEFT) side works okay.
When I turn the right side on, the dash indicator flashes once and then go dead but I hear the flasher unit ticking away
On the outside the right rear blinks normally but the right front does not blink.
If I turn on the light switch, the marker lamp and the parking lamps work as they should.
My Hazard lights stopped working also.
I removed the under scuttle on the driver side but I do not know which relay controls the hazard lights.
Can anyone enlighten me on which relay is the one for the hazard lights and why would the right rear signal light work fine but not the front ones. The bulbs are good.
I do not know if the Hazard relay has anything to do with the signal lights so I am open to being educated.

 

I also have a XJ6 1986 where both my blinkers are out. Just ordered a new relay to check that out. Will keep you posted on what I can find out.

The turn signals and the hazard flashers share the same flasher/relay.

I'm nearly positive that a new flasher will solve your problem with the turn signals.

The hazard light being inoperative is likely due to corroded/oxidized contacts inside the hazard switch. Sometimes simply exercise the switch numerous times will bring things back to life. If not, see if you can direct some aerosol contact cleaner into the switch. You'll have to remove the steering column shrouds...or at least the lower one

The hazard lights dont have a separate relay , its still the flasher can driving the circuit. The hazard switch just bridges the left and right indicator lights.
With a bit going on I would just focus on the front indicator. Check to see if you have a 12V signal there using a different ground point. Check that the ground at the light is actually grounded.

 

Sanchez, my 85 does the same thing, all flashers work as does the Hazard system, but initially the dash indicators would flash once and then stop flashing. Either side did exactly the same thing. So, I changed the relay and now the dash lights don't flash at all. PITA! But I've just learnt to live with it. I've studied the wiring schematic and for the life of me, I cannot understand it. I give up.

I exercised the Hazard as recommended by Doug and the Hazard lights started to function again. THANK YOU DOUG.
However, only the left side lights and the right rear light work.
The right front still does not work with the Hazard switch on or the signal switch on.
Since the problem is only with the right front, I will be checking that part of the circuit. The ground seems good because the right side front light up when I select the parking light position on the light switch.
I will continue to investigate.

 

The front bulbs are dual filament and the rears are single. I'd swap left to right and verify the bulbs are good. While you have the bulbs out you can use your test light or multimeter to see if your getting juice to both terminals. Start with the easy things to check things before digging into the harder.

 

good advice, I am infamous for looking for the difficult issue rather than checking the simple things. Caught myself doing the other day and had to give myself a stern talking to.

 

Be careful with that assumption. Looking at the S57 diagrams the parkers do not use the same earth as the indicators

 

Swap in new bulbs at the dark corners. good, but not absolute chance, that will fix the issue.

or, clean the sckets.

At ties, i have found the lead contacts on the bulbs are worna nd contact lost. A bit of a bodge, but, I have added solder and got them to light upo again.

Others have posted relevant studd as well.
