Re: '02 wrangler doors off lights on , anyone know of any solutions?
 

I bought my '03 TJ in November of '02. I think the first day I pulled
the doors was sometime in March of '03. I pulled the fuse and haven't
seen it since. Remember, the interior lights still work without the
fuse if you just turn 'em on.

Do those still allow the headlight warning when the key is off? Pulling
the fuse apparently also kills that feature.

Maybe there 'is' a reason they sell those silly spring things eh?

It does indeed kill the headlight warning tinkle bell. I pull my #4 and
have had folks remind me to go back out and turn my lights off....

Re: '02 wrangler doors off lights on , anyone know of any solutions?
 

It also kills the "You left your keys in the ignition" buzzer, in case that
hasn't been mentioned. There are days that I'm amazed someone hasn't walked
off with my Jeep as punishment for my absentmindedness. =/

Regarding the headlights, one trick that was suggested (it may have been here)
is that when you turn your headlights on, lock your door (presuming, of
course, that you're running with doors at the time). That way when you try to
get out, you get reminded. Very handy, especially when you're driving at
twilight.
