Running lights
Hi guys I bought a 1999 jeep xj back in August and I have an issue I can't solve. My running lights on the drivers front and rear don't turn on at all but my blinkers do. Does anyone have any ideas as to what the issue could be? Fuses and relays are all there and good.
ISSUE SOLVED!: thanks for everyones help. The issue turned out to be fuse #7 in the interior fuse panel. The fuse did the thing where it looks good but didn't work.

Fuse is a good bet as the lights on each side are on separate fuses, particularly if the side marker doesn't work either.
I think it's #23 (10a).

fuses can look good , but be bad. I would change fuses to see if anything happens.

Although stating the obvious, make sure the bulbs are good. If you don't want to replace them, swap them to the other side.
If they still light up, you'll need a multimeter (volt/ohm). With the light switch on, check for 12 volts at the socket. With the light switch off, check for ground.

Can't help thinking problem is further upstream: the same filament in 3 bulbs failing on the same circuit seems unlikely & the grounds at the front, at least, must be OK because they're common to the blinkers, which do work - just thinking out loud, as it were, really.

Yeah, that would do it.
Always good to know when a problem's sorted - just hope it really didn't take this long to find the fault.
