sounds like and door switch problem. could also be from a aftermarket alarm. most door switch problems accure from the back hatch.
|
Hey, at least they work.
|
well its wierd because when i close the doors the lights dim, but dont turn all the way off. i dont know what to do.
|
Worth a shot to disconnect your battery for a little bit, maybe reset the electronics.
|
It's most probably the hitch latch switch.
|
Are you sure you haven't got the instrument panel dimmer/headlight switch turned all the way anti-clockwise?
Sometimes its the easy things! |
Same issue, had it for a while. I took out the bulbs, but no I'm noticing how convenient they interior lights actually are. I was trying to figure out the reason why they dim when doors are shut. I've checked all door pins. I took a look for the hatch pin but didn't find it. Anyone got specifics?
Thanks! |

Unless the issue is a broken headlight switch, It must be something else. Anyone know where the hatch dome light pin is located?

Quit on that more than obvious solution, that's not it.

k with out knowing more about your jeep and assuming you do not have keyless entry, alarm, etc etc. The way the headlight switches work I doubt that that is it. I will tell you what I did on my 98, this happened to me just a short little while ago. Here is what I did. I opened all four doors and the hatch, un bolted the door switches from the jams and then disconnected them one at a time. If your lights go out then you have found your problem. If they do not go out then move on to next step. The door hatch swtich is located in the tail gate you will have to remove the plastic (pretty easy) to get to it, with all other switches removed then unplug it. If the lights are still on then my suggestion would be its in the rear quarter panel behind the tail light (this is where mine was on my 98 cherokee). Remove the passenger side plastic from inside the trunk area and the wiring harness runs down the pillar and then goes through a hole in the body. This is where my wiring harness was cut. Apparently this is common on a lot of cherokees.
