I was driving my 92 jeep cherokee Laredo home and i turned the stereo up a little to listen to some music for the cruise home, then the song started and my headlights and stereo shut off. at first i thought it was a fuse. but as i stop i pulled back on the Bright lights and they turned on and so did my stereo. Anyone have a idea of what the problem might be?

 

You have a short. I would start with the dimmer wire for the.stereo. it runs from the headlight switch to the back of the stereo. According to the diagram it is a blue wire on the stock stereo.

 

i do not have a stock stereo i have a older JVC stereo i dont know if that makes a difference to what you said Slick761

 

As slick was stating, pull the stereo and follow the blue wire, it may have been snipped when the after market stereo was installed. If the wire was snipped but not taped off, it may be coming in contact with the chassis of the stereo or dash metal and grounding out.

 

okay i will look into it tonight and keep everyone posted on what happens

 

okay so i pulled the stereo out and did not see a blue wire except the Remote wire was blue. any other things to look for?

 

The factory harness has a blue wire.... could you have connected the blue wire from the factory harness to the remote?

 

okay i found the blue wire and it was fine. not touching anything nothing. but my headlights and stereo still wont turn on but my bright lights still will.

 

Alright check the Orange/black wire going to the stereo.....

 

well. that wasnt it either but when i flip my brights on sometimes by domelight comes on lol.

 

Oh Jeeze... I had gremlins like that. If I were you I would pull the radio and retire it. Start over. Also something I forgot. The antenna will ground out very easily. I had this problem. Caused all kinds of quirky strange electrical problems like you described. Thing is if the radio is aftermarket and everything else is stock its the most likely culprit. I didn't think it was possible at the time but when I redid the wiring it fixed a lot of my problems

 

so i just rewire stereo and it will be set most likely?

 

That worked for me. Get a diagram and make sure you have no open or loose connections. Pull it out and unplug everything and take the fuse out at the panel first and see if it fixes your lights. Let me know what happens before you rewire.

 

okay well it didnt work so i will have a friend i know rewire it for me tomorrow so i dont have to worry bout it no more lol.

 

Ok if that didn't work you kit have two separate problems. The regular lights and rights power come.off the same power and ground. That leaves the multi function switch. The lever on your column that you pull back for your brights
