I need a little help.

My passenger side rear turn signal is not working. I replaced the bulb and it still does not work. The tail light works fine but not turn signal.

Thanks in advance.

Check the contacts for corrosion. Get a meter and check for voltage and ground.

Are the blinkers flashing at the normal speed?
Look for codes. The computer should have detected a fault, and set a code.

When I turn the turn signal on for the right side, it starts does not blink but the sound is normal, after about 5 clicks it speeds up. I will check for corrosion but when I pulled the old bulb, it did not have any on it.

Thanks.

That is the computer recognizing there is a fault.
Check for codes. They can tell you where the problem is.

Thanks. I don't have a programmer, can I go to an autoparts store and have them read the code?

Try it. It depends on how good a reader they have.
Some codes will show only on the dealer's StarScan (I believe).

You can try this at home:

1. To check your Jeep JK Wrangler’s DTC codes, simply insert your key into the ignition, turn it to the ‘ON’ position but do not start the engine. Then, push the key into the ignition cylinder and while holding it in, turn it to the ‘OFF’ position and then back to the ‘ON’ position (3) times straight making sure to end with it in the ‘ON’ position. It is important to keep pushing in on the key to prevent it from catching at the different positions along the way.

2. If you do step #1 correctly, all your dash lights will illuminate and your odometer will show up as a series of (6) dashes as shown in the pic to the left. If your Jeep JK Wrangler has any logged in any DTC’s, they will be displayed soon after the dashes appear. Write down the DTC(s) and check it/them against the list below to find out what they mean.

3. If your Jeep JK Wrangler has not logged in any DTC’s, the dashes on your odometer will be followed by the message ‘-done-’. Turn your key to the ‘OFF’ position and you will in fact be done.

I tried the key in the ignition trick but it did not work for me.

Ok, so you have to go back and forth REALLY fast. I got it to work but I just got the --------- then "done". So it didn't throw a code.

BikinCO

I did, twice. Still nothing.

That doesn't mean for sure there are no codes. Not all codes show with the self test.
