Signal flasher
that is because many cars can not to that.
the flasher fails at ultra low currents of the LED, 10x less or more.
so what to do. well that depends on the controller,
some cars you can buy a new controller rated for LED
or in all cases, add a dummy load to both sides, to fool it.
im a tech. so what is a dummy load, its a restistor.
my guess is a 0.25amp draw, ohms law, key on 12v worst case
is R = E/I ohms is volts div. by amps. so 12/.25 = 48 ohms
rated at 3watts min.... how low you can go in amps, depends
on the maker of the controller.
i have this huge box of resistors i wire it to the lamp in parallel
and find out the largest (ohms) i can use and make the blinker work.
100ohms 75, 50, ... bam.
on cars with with electronic blinker they work and some dont/
in fact if you dig deep, the blinker module acutally does funny things
for bad blinker, (go dead for shorts. flash fast if 1 bulb is bad)
see???? lots and lots of controller. and some are smart and other dumb. on really old cars with thermal blinkers the LED just sticks on. ( no current to make it work>)

2005 Jeep Wrangler Heater and Cigarette Lighters not working.
May help - fuses supply power but also needed is earth return to battery. This is usually black wires running from device to the car metal. To diagnose you need a multimeter. Check body of cigar lighter is connected to the chasis with meter on ohms. (continuity test) good is zero ohms. If earth problem, check under dash to ensure all earth wires connect to metal chassis. Then with ignition on, check centre pin at back inside cigar lighter has 12 volts to side.
If not then check fuse has 12 volt to it, Now you can get to the fan, repeat all the tests on fan. Best wishes, its tedious work.

Trying to replace the heat/air resistor
cant find it? say what you want.
you only gave a trying, word....
does the fan fail on HIGH?
if really a serious DIY guy, what not buy the book
the FSM
or get and alldata.com aCCOUNT FOR $15 CLAMS.
its all there....
the resistor btw is in the heat box, its air cooled so it can burn up.
but comes off from outside.

Check engine light
If you cleared all the codes using the obd 2 tester and the lights still popped on, I would take it to a jeep dealer. They will have the specific machine needed to tell you exactly what the problem is and how to fix it. most of the time it is free

Replace a clutch slave clyder
Loosen of the hose at the cylinder then remove the bolts on the cylinder. Turn the cylinder around to undo off the hose. Make sure there is a copper washer on the end of the hose and twist the new cylinder back on the hose all the way on. Put the piston rod in the hole in the clutch arm and re-bolt the unit back on. Tighten the hose back up. Fill the reservoir and proceed to bleed out the air from the nipple on the cylinder. Continue to bleed until the clutch action is solid.

Stuck lifter
Add a can of Beerymans Chemtool to the oil run it for a few days and then change the oil. If it is dirt or sludge issue that will clear it up. if not the lifter is defective and should be replaced and or inspected for the cause of the excessive lash.

Manual gear shifter thread
They sell adapters that screw on to the original enabling you to change the shift knob.Or check with a speed shop.Also some parts stores will have a bunch of male and female thread sizer hanging in the same location as hardware. Sometimes it`s on a flat board in that section as well. If you look in the perfomance section you may also find an adapter kit!
