92tanMJ Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 FYI, I just swapped header panels to a 97+ one, and I just swapped beds. *edit: when I say left I mean the passenger side and when I say right I mean the drivers side. So I wired up the 98+ bulb housings to the factory harness. I wired each bulb onto the harness individually to make sure each one worked before I had it all sealed up. When I wired up the two front bulbs the turn signal started to blink like I had a bulb out but all of the bulbs front and rear worked so I didnt worry too much about it. Then a few weeks go by after I get my truck all painted I reassemble it. I don't really know how to go about this other than to just tell you the issues and what Ive done. First I had no turn signals left or right or brake light. - I though the two front bulbs were pulling too much amps so I pulled out one bulb. Seemed work and I had no issues for a while. Then randomly the left side would click and there would be the faintest flash on the dash but nothing in the bulbs. The it started working again. Then it stopped again and this time both sides didn't work and the brake lights. Then even the hazards didn't work. So I check all of the fuses and the wiring; I had a blown fuse for the hazards, just messing with the wiring I think made the right side start working again work. The fuse fixed the hazards where they would at least click. Also my dash lights don't light up any more when I turn the lights on or step on the brakes. And when I turn my turn signal on, it takes a second before it'll start clicking; its like: cliiiiiiiiiiccckkkk clliicckk click click click click. I'm kinda stumped on where to go next..tomorrow after I get off work I'm going to check the harnesses connections. It just confuses me how its only the left side, dash and brake lights that aren't working.. Ugh I was so happy with neither of my Jeeps having electrical issues. :wall: Thanks in advance for the help guys. Let me know if any of this doesn't make sense I'm posting on my phone. Stupid mac is updating :hateputers: -Zack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GirsMJ86 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Did you replace the flashers? One of mine was messed up when I got my truck, swapping them showed that the one was toast and the other one worked but I just went ahead and replaced them both. When I was having problems, my right side (passenger) turn signal under the headlight and brake light would stay on after turning all switches and the truck off. There were also a few other issues that would pop up and just overall funky stuff was happening. Now after replacing both flashers just the corner lights refuse to blink at all, so I'm thinking the PO did something and I've just not had time to tear into things yet. Anyways, I grabbed two of these from Rockauto and no more crazy lights. If the links don't work, the ones I grabbed were the fourth one down with the first heart.

I was looking at that yesterday wondering if it could be it since it says "flashers" on it. I just got done checking the harness and I couldnt find anything nor did it change anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92tanMJ Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Image Not Found Well I popped these bad boys in I have a good turn signal on the drivers side, a faint turn signal on the passengers side that is now visible from the outside. Still no brake lights nor dash lights :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Have you gone over all your grounds? And a side question, just how much louder is that loud flasher? I've always wondered that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92tanMJ Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Have you gone over all your grounds? And a side question, just how much louder is that loud flasher? I've always wondered that. No, I will check for them tomorrow. Thanks for your help Girs. Honestly if it is louder its not that noticeable, but it is bigger and heavier than the old one. It sounds a lot like just like the flasher on my 98 XJ. Edit: well it looks like my headlight switch is the cause of not having dash lights or taillights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92tanMJ Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Well it blew an other hazard fuse. and I swapped the headlight switch it didnt change anything. But I moved one of the other fuses over to where the hazard fuses go and my steering column started to smoke. :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92tanMJ Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Okay so my 20 amp fuse for the hazards was blown, so I moved over the 30 amp fuse for the ignition...so the drivers side works fine, but the passenger side (like I'm turning right) blinks like the hazards are on (both sides blink). I am also able to get the buzzer working and the console lights if pull out the headlight switch and then push it half way between the headlights and the running lights. I guess I'm going to pull apart my steering column and check out my switches..I think that their is a wire getting grounded out on the hazard switch. So to sum it up; I had no dash lights, no turn signals, no hazards, no brake lights and no buzzer. Now I have a left turn signal, right blinks like hazards, hazards blink but the right side is faint, and still no brake or dash lights or buzzer. I have changed out both flashers in the fuse box, the headlight switch and checked all of the fuses. It also keeps popping the hazard fuse.
