Headlight help sometimes work?
1999 Cherokee stock
Got ready to head home tonight and headlights won't come on . I cycle switch several times and nothing... Wait cycle switch lights come on and work normally. It has done this before and appears to be random. Has anyone had a similar problem ? It seems like a switch or circuit going bad vrs a fuse or ground?
Thx

Probably the headlight switch. My 2000 had a similar problem when I bought it a few months ago. I had to play around with it to find the sweet spot where the headlights and tail lights both would work. I replaced the switch with a cheap ebay (standard motor parts) one and it works fine now.

Headlight switch is the most likely culprit but could be a headlight relay. In the fuse box under hood, there are several relays that are the same part number and could be swapped around to located a bad relay and see if the problem follows the relay. Perhaps the horn relay as a good swap for test.
