Wipers, Radio. kaput??

[ParadiseMJ]

88 MJ Pioneer, 5 speed, 4.0, 4x4

 

Are the wipers and the radio on the same circuit?? They both took a dump on me at the same time. The circuit breaker for the wipers tested fine...is there a fuse??

 

Also the "PART TIME' light is on when it's not in 4x, and goes off when I put it IN 4x.

 

Still a work in progress

[ParadiseMJ]

No, really, this is an issue for me. Can anybody help a bro out??

any evidence of brake fluid in the fuse panel?

No. I've checked that several times since I got the thing. I just put in the floor insulation and rubber mat and saw nothing.

I think it's your ignition switch on the column up under the dash.

 

My '90 XJ did exactly this...cranked and ran fine but those items and a few more were out. Fuses were good.

 

But on my ignition switch there was a bad spot. I am guessing it is the keyed source that 'completes' the circuit allowing 12V to go to those things.

 

Replaced the switch and no problems since.

I think you may be right. I've had a few gremlins that point to the switch. I have the switch, I just put the dash back together. #@&* if didn't replace it before. :doh:

 

I'll get back when I have the time to install it.
