i have a 96 cherokee and my turn signal lights/hazards/brake lights do not work. ive replaced the multifunctions switch and the headlamp switch. ive checked fuses and checked the bulbs. i dont know what else to do. all the lights worked and i shut off my jeep went to work came back out and now none work. any ideas, theorys, im at my whits end.

 

when it happened to me it was the cable that goes into a little box close to the battery that everything gets power from...the cable for all of the lighting was burnt out. Mine is an '86 though...

 

did your head lights work? b/c mine still work.

 

Check fuse number 2 (20amp) in the fuse panel, also check to see if pin 30 has battery power on the combination flasher in the instrument panel fuse block. Did they work before you replaced the combination switch or is this a new problem?

 

whats the combination flasher? is that the silver tube looking thing under the dash? the instrument panel fuse box, is that on the right side of the steering column? everything was working then its stopped working. at that point i starting trouble shooting and gettting parts.

 

I don't have a diagram to send you. The Combination Flasher is in the relay bank under the dash instrument panel on the left side.....All power for the flashers /turn signals and brake lights feeds through this flasher. I will try to find you a diagram

 

ive pulled every fuse and none were blown. i dont know how to test relays or switchs.

 

Do you still have reverse lamps?

If you do not; expose and examine the primary front-to-back vehicle lighting harness. It runs from behind the kick panel at your left foot, under the doorsill trim, to a spot behind the left-side cargo area trim liner.

If you do, I'd have to look at wiring diagrams. Brake lamps, taillamps, turn indicators, and hazzards are all fed by different circuits to the lamps (and we'd probably have to look for a common power feed.)

 

i have reverse lamps. the turn signals, hazards and brake lights all have 2 or 3 common feeds running to them. im taking a silver switch/relay to be tested tomorrow. its located up under the dash its getting hot even though my lights are not on. this mystery silver thing is the only component that i have not replaced that could knock all 3 light systems out. ill try and post a copy of the diagrams i have have tomorrow.

 

Follow your wires as far as you can see if one has worn down and is grounding out somewhere.

 

thank you,I had no power to run my hazard and brakelights.

 

wrong post!

 

Are you talking about the the wire that runs from the fuse box to the battery

 

for the money i changed combo flasher, fixed all odd problems

 

No, he's talking about a 6 1/2 year old post.
