Mines the 835 number at 274

 

Rock auto was the cheapest at like 179 or 199 that I've seen but i haven't really looked and i should add this would be my second nss for this xj in the 7 years i owned it

 

Scratch that about 130 i should prolly just fix it lol i could do something else for 130 like build my roof rack finally damn jeeps always emptying my.pockets welling guess we can close this one Im still gonna try the seat safety switch though hahaha

 

Sorry about that, I was just talking to someone on another thread about it and got the years mixed up

 

No biggie theres lots of us wit out back up lights lol

 

So you've confirmed the integrity of your brake lights, fuses, and harness wiring by jumping pins A and E on the harness at the NSS?

Your NSS is a simple switch, as you know from cleaning it (twice). There's a lever with a spring-loaded brass contact that completes a circuit based on it's position. The circuits are as follows:

Park and Neutral = B and C, completes circuit to starter relay.
Reverse = A and E, completes circuit to reverse lights
3rd Gear = A and G, purpose unknown
1-2 Gear = A and H, purpose unknown

Since you're certain it's the NSS I would recommend disassembly and bench testing with a multimeter to confirm the circuits are being completed. If they aren't it can only be four things, 1) missing or inadequate springs in the armature contacts 2) varnish on the fixed contacts which can be remedied by lightly sanding them until they're shiny again 3) broken wires in the pigtail leading to the harness or 4) corrosion in the harness/pigtail coupler.

 

I had an NSS that I couldn't rebuild. The brass contact was depressed at the Reverse light positon and the little wipers lost contact there.

 

Yes for the second time i have checked and rechecked the switch its the switch thanx

 

I found this on e-bay when I was thinking of replacing my switch on my 1994 Jeep Cherokee; but did not get a new one as mine was okay after cleaning

lowest price I could find $36.00

Mods please close no help here

 

Guys i was looking for an alternative not to fix it its a.common problem its happen to me twice its whats happens when mud and water meet electronics i was looking for a different way to make my reverse lights work thats its

 

you ask us to close the thread because you don't want to actually FIX the problem? There's tons of good info here.

 

I did i orderd a new one and Im gonna try to water proof it these things fail all the time I've had 14 xjs and everyone had this problem then i buy a new one and in a years time its bad again. For this xj this will be the second new one just replaced it last year and its ruined from the elements. The first time i cleaned it it worked for 2 days went wheeling stop working. I was just looking for a alternative that was all and i didn't get one here so i bought a new one and ill modify that so it dont take on water and mud and fail like the rest

 

yeah there's really no alternative unfortunately. Open up the new one and smear everything with di-electric grease, and fill the sealing groove of the case with RTV or more dielectric grease
