jeep headlights

[cassandra and sara's daddy]

worked last night   today no lights  high beams will come on if i hold the signal stalk back towards me but cut out if i let go.  some kinda fuse?   or relay? or....?

[Harold Tuttle]

Day time running circuit?

[cassandra and sara's daddy]

95 jeep  no daytime  it does have the deal where lights stay on for a couple mins after you turn it off

[RoadKingLarry]

bad dimmer switch.

[Harold Tuttle]

Does it have factory fog lamps?

If the 95 is wired like my 88, there's a circuit breaker in the headlight switch itself -- no external fuse. The circuit breakers rarely go bad. When they do, the lights will work for a few minutes, then cut out when the breaker heats up, then they'll come back on when it cools down.

That "headlight sentinal" delay thingie may be the culprit, and I believe it's a simple module plugged in between the headlight switch and the wiring harness. If you can find it, see if you can remove it and plug the two parts of the harness directly together. If that fixes it, you found the problem.

yes it does

Shouldn't matter.

More to the point, do the parking lights come on? If the parking lights work, the headlight switch is working, so you should focus on the sentinal delay module.

I think the passing light circuit (lights coming on when you hold the stalk back) is seperate from the runtime circuit.  In other words the current is pulled directly from the fuse block through a unique power feed to that's seperate from the power feed that's used for regular headlight operation.

Check your fuses, all your fuses.  If your Jeep is like my parent's Tahoe, there can multiple fuses in the circuit, and in any one of THREE different fuse box locations.  It's maddeningly complex and the locations are seemingly random, but that's the way it is.

If your sister is anything like you, I don't think any of us would want to marry her.

she is absolutely nothin like me, and you may have erroneously assumed my interest was in protecting her from you.  quite the opposite. shes like a female josie wales."easy to track  leaves dead men everywhere she goes"

truly driven.  retook sats in an effort to get from 1580 to the perfect 1600. 4.0 plus all the way through school including yale law school. the big scandal in her life was 1 b+ in pre law that she fought to get changed and failed.  a very scary lady

So she would actually have the common sense to stay away from most of us anyway.

Thanks for the warning.  Maybe you should set her up with Mabs.

you do have a mean streak.  i wouldn't set fistful up with her, if he was single.  neither would survive

we get along ok now.  not always though when she was 19 and i was 21 i gave her a 3 piece and knocked her out at the dinner table.most folks would say hitting a girl was evil, not so folks who knew her.  they are just surprised she didn't have me killed  i also threw her out on xmas eve from the home place a few years later.  she is one scary lady.  and the deceptive camouflage is particularly good. by the time they realize the danger they are lying in a pool ot their own blood dying

Damn now I'm curious.  If she pissed you off that much, makes me wish I was single, I would be willing to take a chance.

heck  she didn't piss me off  she through a plate of spaghetti (with the plate) in my face from 3 foot away. i was stunned for a second then just reacted on instinct.  i was scared after. he b/f could kick my butt.  xmas eve she fomented a fight between my lil bro and dad. i was awakened to her screaming for help. i peeled lil bro off dad.  dad suckered punched lil bro while i held him. i punched dad out.  and it all started when she decided to pour lil bros vodka out in the sink.  he 21 and in his own house. i don't blame him for being mad


you or the revdisk might enjoy/survive dating her. you need a permission slip from wife as well as a living will to take that chance

my grand cherokee factory fogs have a relay that switches them off when you switch on the high beams

mine cherokee sport does too

[Harold Tuttle]

So are you fog lights working?

[cassandra and sara's daddy]

[cassandra and sara's daddy]

Where the module/relay located? What's it look like ?

[Jamisjockey]

When I had my '94, I could literally do anything it needed out of a chilton's manual.  Man, I miss that jeep!

[Tallpine]

My daugher has a 90-something Cherokee.

The biggest problem that she has had with it has been with the door locks/latches and rear gate
