MJ 4.0 Posted Thursday at 11:57 AM Share Posted Thursday at 11:57 AM I recently purchased some Hella Fog Lights for my 88' Comanche, (thanks to a recommendation from a Comanche Club member!) I'm in need of a rocker switch, hopefully that matches what's already installed in the dash. Am I better of going to a salvage yard or is there OEM switches available? I looked on Ebay and most switches fit late model Cherokee XJ's but I'm not sure they are the same size? Appreciate any guidance! Thx. LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle_SX4 Posted Thursday at 02:06 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:06 PM The part number for that switch is 56000025. I have pulled several out of Cherokees from the junkyard. I am fairly certain that Jeep used the same switch for the power/comfort transmission switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llhat Posted Thursday at 02:18 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:18 PM ^^^ i understand this to be true, but 'many' years ago i used a switch obtained from parts store and put i in the space on dash for the oem fog.... it looks 'different' but is functional ( remember 'many' years ago)... used an aftermarket relay for couple of retangular Chibie lights (these were GM parts counter units!) which now don't work and unsure what i use to replace them. also have seen many OEM switches on the evilbay....

I checked a couple OEM dealers online for that part #. It's evidently been discontinued. Looks like salvage yard is where I'm headed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted Thursday at 08:58 PM Share Posted Thursday at 08:58 PM Yeah that switch was discontinued back in 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you must have gotten it repainted. I did ask a shop once if they would quote a repaint and they said they would not touch it, apparently way too much prep work would be needed..

Hey, thanks yeah I got it repainted three years ago. It was rust free and straight as an arrow, but the paint was all faded out. They stripped it down and did a nice job. 5K Got it done.
