I fixed the no-headlight problem on my 1996 Jeep Cherokee (not a Grand) by replacing the headlight switch. As I recall, the black plastic knob is removed from the outside. Then, there is a button on the switch housing itself which is difficult to reach - you have to put your head on the floor and reach way up underneath. Pushing the button allows the stem to be pulled out from the front. My memory isn't clear. It is also hard to get the large connector loose because of the plastic clips holding it in.
I don't know why the old switch wouldn't work. I had no faith that replacing it would do any good. It did - the lights have worked without issues since.
Hope this helps.
probably the iod fuse it is the factory shipping and storage fuse it kills any thing that could be left on and draw the battery down
my 2001 diamante radio wont turn on after i put the code in
Does it turn over? Does it have fuel, spark and compression?
Maybe you could request it on your radio station.
there should be a fuse labeled IOD check that fuse if there isn't one check all of the fuses.
just got radio from scrap yard plugged it in it works fine but it wont stop beeping when you turn the radio up the beeping gets louder how do you stop it.
The main dome light control switch is turned off.
The headlight switch also opperates the dome light... insted of pulling it out, just turn it like a door knob... if that doesnt work then it might be a fuse, the same fuse that works stuff like the radio also works the dome light. A 2008, I would bring it back to the dealer.
A door switch may be broken or out of adjustment or the dome light switch on the dash is turned on.
Does the bulb need to be replaced?
If the radio is not working on a 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport it might be a blown fuse. Try the CD player to see if that works. If the CD player works then it might be an antenna problem.
junk it
Spray some WD-40 on all the inside door jams this will fix the problem.
you blew a fuse... find which one it is, try radio.. try room fuse if there is one. keep looking til you find the blown fuse ;) its there
Take the light out. You might have a bad switch in the door frame. When the door closes- it pushes a switch which I believe opens a circuit and shuts off your light. If the switch is bad it wont open the circuit and the light stays on.
On the same switch you use to turn on the headlights, there is a dome override button that you press and then you can play with the dash lights to make them brighter. This should turn the light off.
it is located on the door pillar at the bottom. It is held on by a Phillips screw. If you are replacing it, try to clean the contacts first, that maybe all that's wrong. I know that if the contacts are bad the dome light won't come on and the bell wont chime if the key is in the ignition with the drivers door open
no....it has never happend and it wont ever......
