Could explain why he used 5" blocks, instead of doing a little bit of research. I've had my Jeep less than a year but have been reading Jeep forums for almost 3 years researching lifts, bumpers and every other mod you can do, and I still have questions.

Seriously, you're not hurting my feelings or anything. The Harley rips you're putting out are pretty lame. At least say something about the oil it's leaking or how Harleys break down all the time. That's right, cause you're only 19 and you don't know anything about Harleys.
I have a 1938 harley UL flat head sitting in my garage that i found relichunting and now im restoring but i dont know anything about harleys? and i was just joking on you because this is a cherokee forum and you have your harley on here

Alright here's my issue.

My taillights weren't working, just the running ones. Connections and bulbs are good. One day I dimmed the dash lights and the rear running lights came on. Now I have to completely dim my dash lights to make my running lights come on.

Is my switch bad or something else?

Explain using 'taillights' and 'brake lights', please.

Sounds like its worn out the contacts in the switch... Like the potentionmeter (spelling i know...) is worn out

If they come on when messing with the headlight switch, then I'd say the switch is bad.

I have to jiggle mine to get my dash lights to work. I've ran across a thread somewhere for disassembling the switch and cleaning it.

Brake lights- check
Turn and flashers - check
all front lights- check
Rear running lights, that should be on constantly on only work when my dash lights are dimmed the whole way.

Try using this for your picture. Upload it here http://imgur.com/, copy the URL, and then post the picture on here by clicking the button that looks like a mountain with the moon and a yellow background and paste the URL of the picture on it.

This thread is full of bs.. Can't even get an answer anymore.

If you are serious about that lift your an idiot. Better yet your other vehicle must be a Ford.

I'm thinking of unsubscribing. Kinda hard to follow. More like a chat room to me.
