XJ Ask the Question Thread
Hey guys so I did some research but still have a few questions.
Last night while driving my headlights went out. The dashboard lights, signal lights, rear end lights, and interior lights were all still on or working. I've checked the fuses and did not find any issue there. My highbeams were not staying on but they were working. I read that it's probably the headlight switch or the signal switch or both. So my question is, is it both or could it just be one of the switches? Or is it even a switch at all? (Sorry for the newb terms) I also read that the interior lights will usually go out with the headlight switch (which mine didn't) so maybe it is just the signal switch and maybe it's interfering with the headlight switch??? Anyway! Any help to save this little ladies butt and her babyblue would be much appreciated. Thanks

Ive done the H4 conversion and harness upgrade for my XJ. While the new bulbs are nice, I think they're still 55w. Now that the system can handle it, what are you all running for your H4 conversions? Not wanting blue lights, prefer white. Thanks!
Also these are the Autopal housing units if it matters.

do the dash light LED conversion while you have the dash down that's a worthwhile upgrade
97 XJ 4.0. Once in a while it won't start. As in once every few months. Today was one of those days. Turns over great, tries to fire once then just turns and turns. When I floor the gas pedal it starts but shuts off immediately when I let off the gas. Fuel pump is working as it should, its getting spark. Unplugged the TPS and wiggled it some then it finally started. Could I have a bad TPS?

Hey guys. Just put in a Delphi steering box in my Jeep (#19321270 and supposed to be a direct replacement). It seems like the nut that holds the pitman arm is different then the factory box. It looks like the factory nut is a 7/8 x 14. Is there any chance that my new box has metric threads instead? If so, do you know what size the nut is? From everything I can tell its a 1.75 thread pitch (with is almost identical to the SAE 14 thread pitch) but dont know if its a 23mm or 24mm. Or do you guys think its the same thread as the old box and I just have some messed up threads on the new box? The nut only goes on a 1/4 turn right now.
