Hey guys, more problems with the XJ. I've recently been told that my tail lights are out, which dosen't bother me too much but I am driving on a permit and this is something that will attract a cop's attention... All my other lights work, low beams, high beams, turn signals in front and back, hazards, etc.

everything but the tail lights and dash lights!

If this is a fuse, would it be the fuse panel under the dash or the relay under the hood?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

 

..anyone?

 

Under the dash. Search around the site with the search tool. Someone will forward you the fuse diagram.

Also, I spent 20$ and replaced my fuses with theones that light up when they blow. It makes it crazy easier to see which one busted, especially if you ever get stuck on the side of the road with a stalled jeep in the dark. I'm sure you've noticed how difficult it is to check the fuses by the passenger side feet. It helps to use a pair of needlenose pliers to pull and look at them. Your other option is to use a continuity tester on both of the little exposed metal tips on the top of the fuses. Most testers {20$ cheapies} have a "sound" setting that makes a nose if there's continuity. When you touch the tips of the tester to the metal tips of each fuse {even when plugged in} if the fuse is good, the metal inside is intact and you will have continuity, or a little noise. It stops you from having to pull out every fuse, gives you practise with your tester, and stops you from accidentally dropping them into the plastic protector.

Good luck ad welcome to the addicton!

 

Alright, well I went out, got new fuses (15 A), and all of them got fried. this is worrying me. cant really drive around without tail lights... can anybody help me out here? bad ground connection or something of that sort maybe?

 

Do you have an "add-on" trailer harness?

 

I'm pretty sure its a ground... had the same problem, or maybe 2 wires touching each other...

Gotta have some patience... the fuses with lights on them are awesome, best way to dummy proof it lol

 

No 1 cause ^^^^
