    Re: Weird

    its the gremlins. 20 years of hot and cold can eventually turn your electrical system against you. most of us have them in one way or another. they come and go as they please. unless they become a problem or something stops working completely, i just deal with them.

    Re: Weird

    well my headlight problem came back again.so today i tried the combo switch out of the exi but that didn;t work,it didn't work right in the exi either.i wasn't sure what the problem was in the exi but i guess it was the switch.anyway i put the switch back in and the light in the car layout was on and the headlights were dimmly lit w/o the light turned on.don't know if it's the switch or something else.any help would be appreciated.there are not alot of these cars in the j/y around here so it's hard to find another switch,if that's what it is.

    Re: Weird

    Check your ground wires on the drivers side next to the evaporator on the radiator support. Mine did the same thing and they were loose. Yours maybe corroded. They may be on the fenderwell also towards the front in the space where the air conditioner dryer is located. Let me know if this helps.

    Re: Weird

    well today i decided to start outside looking for bad connections.the signal light connector on the drivers side was corroded so i cut it off and spliced one off the parts car.iI soldered it and taped it up,this on had the rubber boot over the connector which the other one didn't.but still have the problem,and when i turn on the lights with key on the retractor relay was clicking and the headlight motor was trying to open and close continually til i shut the key off.this shit really has me stumped.wireing is not my favorite thing.

    Re: Weird

    electrical problems are something your going to have to figure out yourself, or bring it to a shop. they are really hard to explain through a keyboard without seeing what exactly is happening.

    Some mice eat the wiring behind your fuse box? Any wires pinched in the steering column?
