The one that turns the dome lights and key in iginition when door is open,
where is it located? I've looked around the perimeter of the door, looking for some kind of button with no luck.
TIA

 

you talking about by the door hinges

 

I've checked there -- nothing. Someone told me that it's in the lock (latch).

 

I'm not really sure about your 99 but my 94 has push button switches in the door frame , black and hard to see. about 1/3 of the way up the inside of the door my the dash. Sorry if this is no help.. Glad to see another Vet me too.. 2 years in Nam.. Well not quite 22 months and 11 days... LOL but who was counting... 69 to 70..

 

that whats on my 98 and 2000^ those little switches about the size of a pencil eraser

 

jomkps, guess I'll take another look, but me nor my neighbor saw anything there.

94zjdriver, I only spent a year there 70-71, so it wasn't as bad as what you had.
My MOS was 1371 (combat engineer) meant I got to blow things up! gotta love C4.

Semper Fi

 

yeah and if you take your doors off I guess you have to unscrew them and disable the switch

 

just checked - nothing on the door or jam. Guess I'll have to pull the panel.

 

lol they are right there on the door jamb, I dont know how you cant see them

 

my 97 has them right near the door latch.

 

and what are you driving?

 

99 Grand Cherokee Laredo

if I get the chance, I'll take some pics tomorrow.

 

I will check at my 2000 wj limited and see as well

 

hope this works ----

pics should be from top hinge to the bottom hinge
then on the latch side, but of course they're not.

see any jam buttons?

 

there is a sensor or something that recognizes when your door is shut;

ex. If you shut the door my wj takes 30 seconds or however long for the interior lights to go off.

test....i used my finger to push the piece that releases or opens when you open or close door. when I pushed that piece in the lights turned off the same amount of seconds later....so there it is
