*xj-man* Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I have a 1992 with a 2.5. Just completed the upgraded MC and booster pump, but don't have any brake lights or hazards. I did before the swap. Checked the fuses and they all look good and I checked the brake switch which looked ok I guess. Any other places to look?

Minuit Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 There's a small red cable going to the battery. I'll bet you a hundred bucks it's been unplugged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 That connector goes to the brake lights and hazards. Easy to miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*xj-man* Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 I'll check it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*xj-man* Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 I don't have the little red wire going to the terminal, just two large wires going to the fuse block and alternator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AeroNautical Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I'm having this same issue right now, tail lights work, but brakes and hazards don't. Can't find that connector, either. Two positive wires, one headed to the rear of the engine block/alt, one to the relay block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skel130 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I've had this issue, and it had to do with my fusebox melting due to the clutch master leaking. Try this: Take out the fuse that goes to the brake lights, and bend the end of the spades to a very slight 'v' shape on both sides. Would look sorta like this from the end [v__v] . If your fuse box has suffered any damage, the terminals can become loose and not make a connection. None of my fuses showed any damage, but the box was melting from behind. You can also use a jumper to test the circuit, going to a known good positive connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have to replace my clutch master because it was leaking, but the back of the panel doesn't look melted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recrimped the connectors on the fuse block and put a fresh fuse in, and it worked like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*xj-man* Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Would it be different because I have a 2.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*xj-man* Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Figured it out, whoever worked on this comanche completely rigged the wiring on the tail lights. Now I need to rewire everything from the fuse box back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I need to rewire everything from the fuse box back. THAT, is a fun project... No, I had to do alot of rewiring on my MJ because of PO electrical "mods". Hardest part is tracing the wires, which means ripping out the dash. Fun times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*xj-man* Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Well if checked everything I could think of and have no idea. I guess I have to resort in taking it to the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92tanMJ Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Well if checked everything I could think of and have no idea. I guess I have to resort in taking it to the shop. Well its LONG shot but it worked for when I was having issues with mine and I didnt know what else to do..but I pull out EVERY fuse and replaced it with a NEW one, with the correct Amps that the FACTORY calls for. don't forget the ones in the bay as well..
