Geonovast Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Is it just the one light, or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno56 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I had roughly the same problem. It was the daytime running light module. I don't know if you have one as they were only standard on Canadian trucks, but it would be on the pass inner fender right behind the battery. My lights stayed on all the time regardless of where the switch was. It can just be unplugged but all xj's up to 2001 used the same part if you have/need one. If you don't have DTRL's then you likely have some other wiring problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STERLING STINGER Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 Stuck relay? from just changing a headlight? wheres it located, ill change it just in case tho :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleag89 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Could be the multifunction switch. Try messing with the metal rod running down the steering column that controls high/low beams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno56 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I still say DTRL module. If you have one, that is. Mine seriously did the same thing. Changing the light could have effed up the module when the draw changed with the new light. This is still all assuming you have DTRL's as I haven't heard yet that you don't.

ryno56 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Those are just relays. The DTRL module is about 3x3 and is closer to the battery screwed to the inner fender. It's kinda buried under the wiring harness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I don't think the DTRL module came on American Jeeps. My family has owned 86, 87, two 88s, 89, 91, 92, 98, and two 99 XJs. Not a single one of them had the headlights come on automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that the symptoms are just like mine were. I wish I had a pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not mistaken, you guys also go the fancy turn signals in the front fenders just above the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robfg67 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 My vote is for bad relay. I've had this problem before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geonovast Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I... don't know. Google is being less than stellar, and my 4.0 HO MJ is 70 miles away, I can't see it till Friday. I can say it's not in the relay box, which I'm sure you've already figured out. It's probably strapped to the body somewhere all by itself.

I'm not sure about the turn signals though, I don't think all new cars have them in the fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComancheKid45 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Your owners manual should show you what relays are located where. :thumbsup: (i wonder how may people even read those things anymore :roll: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe I forgot, I was just at the house where my MJs are and I forgot to look. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
