well, took a vactaion to lusiana and.. got home... put it back in.. adjusted it for 30 min... still nothing.......... im lost. i need an inspection lol

 

Grab a multimeter or a test light. Plug it into the contacts on the plug comming from the engine bay and see if it has 12v (make sure your key is in the on position).

Check your fuse. I cannot stress enough to make sure your contacts are clean. While the fuse is out clean the fuse AND the fuse block.

I had issues with mine. Eventually got fed up and ran new wires. Mounted a relay under the rear seat where the jack is. Wired a small led and resistor in parallel with the output to be positive it worked.

Also check the wiring on the lights themselves. I've fixed several bulb holders with a soldering iron and solder. The connectors just dont make good contact when they are older.

 

wich fuse is it? lol and is it possible just to wire them to a switch?

 

I'm not sure but check em all anyways. In some states it may not pass inspection with "just a switch" wired up to them.

 

thanks guys. everytime i have a problem with my cherokee this is where i read. at it has not failed me yet. thanks for keeping people like me on the road.
