MJ Turn signal relay

Can anyone tell me where the turn signal relay is on an 89 Comanche?
 
Thanks, but that's the flashers, I was looking for a relay... However after looking at my XJ FSM, I was looking for the wrong thing anyway. What I originally saw in the book was a couple turn signal relays, located in the left rear quarter panel. I was wondering where these were on an MJ, but it turns out I was looking at the trailer harness, not the vehicle harness (yes, I had a few by then! :cheers: ).
The whole reason is because my turn signals don't work at all. Hazards are fine. I have checked and replaced the bulbs and sockets. The switch still works, if you hold the brake and hit the switch, the corrosponding brakelight turns off. And I have replaced the flasher with a known good unit. I didn't have a whole lot of time to mess with it yet (just got the MJ yesterday), but I have a feeling there's no power at the fusebox.

It's alright, I'm going to drive it to work today to fix them. I do 12V diagnostic, repair and installation for a living, I just don't have a MJ FSM handy, and wondered if anyone knew where the relay was real quick so I didn't have to hunt for it... evidently, it doesn't exist.

Correct - there is no relay for the turn signals on the vehicle proper, just for the trailer tow harness (same on XJ, AFAIK.)

I may have an electronic version of the wiring diagrams on a hard drive somewhere, or have them on my RENIXPower group - you may want to check there. If no dice, I should have a 1989 or 1990 electrical FSM handy (same thing either way,) and I can take a picture of the relevant pages for you if you need me to.
 
Thanks 5-90, I was able to get them working. As I suspected, there was no power at the fuse, so for now I just jumped it to another ign source, fused of course.
