Soulesonic Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hello! I was really happy to come across this board! I just purchased a 1986 Jeep Comanche XLS 4X4. It has the original engine and only 93,000 miles on it for $1,700. There is a little rust under the driver side floor panel but it doesn't leak oil and runs strong! The rest of the body is in GREAT shape but it has a few dents an scarps here and there. So there are a couple of issues that I am having with it and I am looking for some advice. First off, I am sorry if this has been covered already. I looked through some other threads but couldn't find a solution to my problem. So the Left rear light is very confusing. So the break lights and blinker do not light up ever. When I have the lights ON all the bulbs (except the blinker) light up but they don't great brighter or anything when the brake is applied. I turned on my hazards and they only work on the rear right side and not on the left either. I have also noticed that the reverse light only illuminates on that side and not on the right rear light? So to trouble shoot, I checked the fuses and they are fine. I opened up the light and all the bulbs are fine. I opened the little routing box and it is clean. The ground wire it from the light to the side of the truck is a little dirty but looks like it still has a good connection. I just don't know what to do next? Is this an expensive fix if I had to take it into a shop? Well any feedback is welcomed and I am very excited to have found this group! I will post pictures of the new Truck a little later! Thanks and great to meet all of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottJeep Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Test everything with a volt meter and or test light. Def disconnect the ground wire you found and clean and then reconnect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulesonic Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Thanks Scott! Yeah I will try cleaning off the ground first and it seems like the volts would be fine since the lights do turn on just not when the brake is pressed or the blinker is turned on?

docivy Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I have the exact same truck! Is yours v6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulesonic Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 No mine is the V4. It is a workhorse though! Starts and drives like a champ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
