A friend of my son has a TJ and when he indicates left or right all flash not just left or right, I'm going to have a look at it tomorrow night, they have tested the flasher can and it's not that, any other ideas on what could be causing it.

If has a tow bar fitted check the wiring

My first guess is the use of LED bulbs. Not sure if they can do that, but I've heard a couple of stories.

Next and final guess from me is a short circuit in the indicator stalk or other wiring - a multimeter test for continuity between the left and right signals would identify this.

Good luck !

Found it, you were right Mal, it was the tow bar wiring, he had bottomed out and rubbed the wires through.


all fixed now

Had a similar issue with my trailer plug. The left indicator wire came loose and was sitting on the brake wire. Just happened to notice the left indicator coming on whenever I touched the brake pedal. Took 30 seconds to fix.
