Why might the lowbeams on a Jeep Cherokee flicker on and off a few times then go out when all other lights work?

Bad connection to low beam circuit.
I had a similar problem on my '95 Cherokee. I traced the short to the wiring harness connector that is directly under the air box. The years and miles of Michigan winter driving had caused a salty crud to infiltrate the harness and short out the low beams. I repaired the damage, and replaced the airbox with a K&N cone filter and air tube. I noticed that my 2001 Cherokee has the wire connection in a different location to avoid this problem.
AnswerThis might sound simple, however my 93 did the same thing. The previous owner (my brother in law) change out the light switch behind the dash 6 months earlier. So when i had this problem I spent alot of time checking the wiring. However I notice the light switch box behind the dash was getting really hot. I purchased a new one around 20 bucks and swapped it out and have never had another problem. Note make sure you are very careful when you reattach the plug back into the new switch box. I think the my brother in law may have bent and loosend one on the copper plugs and that was causing a short when the lights were turned on. also make sure you reattach the ground wire, it is normally separate from the factory plug. .Wiki User

What would cause the headlights to flicker when switched to high beam?
We might need a little more information. Do the lights flicker every time you switch between low and high? Have you noticed that your turn signal stalk feels gritty or mushy? When you switch to high beams, do they ever flicker later, or just when you switch them? Do they ever go out entirely? I'm thinking that maybe the turn signal switch might be bad, but it's hard to say with no more info. FriPilot
Why does your cluster dash lights flicker on 2000 ford focus?
You might try moving the little adjustment wheel that dims and brightens the dash lights. It is connected to an electrical rheostat that might have become a little corroded over the years. "Exercising" (adjusting) the brightness up and down several times might be enough to re-establish a good, non-corroded, contact. Good luck.
Any idea why my 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee dash lights keep flashing and dimming?
Your 1996 Jeep grand Cherokee dash lights probably keep flashing and dimming because of a loose or corroded ground wire. The ground wire might be getting contact at times and at other times not getting contact.

What do the lights on the 1969 vw beetle dashboard mean?
the lights on the dash are as such, the left light is for the low oil pressure, the right light is low generator/alternator. The red light on the dash is for the cylinder head temp. if it exceeds a temp limit, it will light. when driving, or coming off the freeway, the oil pressure light might flicker, due to the change in pressure quickly. The generator light may flicker when 1st started or if the vehicle is ideling lower than required.

What causes the dash-instrument lights in a 1985 Nissan 300 ZX to flicker on and off?
I understand this is a common problem for a 1986 300zx, so maybe it pertains to your car also. There might be weak solder on the power unit pin connector, or it might need repair to the power control unit. This can also affect the odometer.
I have a turn signal problem on my 97 Jeep Cherokee. The drivers side turn signal works but the dash board lights also flash. When the head lights are turned on the right turn signal does not work.?
That sounds like a grounding problem, probably near the right side lights. It might be a rusty or disconnected ground wire.
Your silverado wont start it just clicks and the lights flicker the starter dose not engage or click it is as if there is no power even getting to it?
Look for a loose or corroded battery cable. The problem may also be a faulty starter solenoid/relay switch - you might want to have it checked out.
