Yessir, make sure the relay is getting 12 volts from the batt or whatever power source or check the ground on the relay... clicking means the contact is moving over so check what you said... text me for anything else... im getting off

Edit: you asked about lights... check the positive and ground to the lights and to the relay (12volt from battery and ground)

Oil filter adapter o rings or oil leaks from valve cover is my guess.

Anyone have a factory stereo wireing diagram for a 1990 cherokee?

I second this. My club is running rausch the weekend of jan 5th. I just did my lift today. Have to remove my shackle relocator bracket since I'm sitting at 5.5" in the rear.

You'll need to Change the speaker wires around. If i didn't have a wiring diagram, i would turn everything on, throw a cd in there and work with the speaker wires till i got them in the right order. I'll google a diagram later if you haven't found one.

My oil gauge goes down to 30 when I'm at a complete stop. When I accelerate it goes to 40+. Is this normal? It's a 2001. I've read it could be something about the oil pressure switch but I don't want to spend the money on a new one if its going to do the same thing when I buy it new. Is this normal for the 2001 models???? When I used to have my 1997 xj the oil gauge would always stay at 40. Any help?
