If you turn off the engine and remove the key with the headlights still on,
and THEN you push the headlight **** to OFF, the headlights stay on, even though the dashboard lights go off. What is the logic behind this design? Why can you only turn off the lights with the key in the ignition?

Being from the big city with street lights every 32 feet I can see how you'd find the feature not as useful.

It is a nice feature. The headlights are delayed. They'll stay on for about 45 seconds after you turn the switch off. People like myself that live out in the middle of the woods prefer having some light to walk from the Jeep to the door of the house.

Hi!
I've got a rust hole on my roof right next to the roof rack on the passenger side. My guess is that the whole section around that bolt hole and rust hole need to be replaced. Was going to have a friend patch it with sheet metal, but would it be better to try and get a chunk of roof from a donor XJ, due to the raised section of metal for the roof rack? Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
It's a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4x4, 172k. Local junkyard said they can cut me a chunk of metal out of one of their cherokees, they would just charge me $50. Just want a second opinion or other ideas/choices. Attached is a photo of the damage.

I like the delay so I don't trip over opossums, squirrels, rabbits, snakes and all the copper lines that run from my Shine Still to my kitchen sink faucet.
