Re: '95 Cherokee Sport - Courtesy lights stay on
From the '95 XJ FSM:
DOME/COURTESY LAMP SERVICE
INFORMATION-XJ
Voltage is applied at all times via the dome lamp
fuse to each of the interior lamp bulbs. The interior
lamp bulbs illuminate when they are connected to
body ground via the switch:
² Headlamp switch.
² Glove box switch.
² Door pillar switch.
² Liftgate switch (if the cargo lamp is ON).
If equipped with Security Alarm Module, refer to
Group 8Q, Vehicle Theft Security System.
It appears that if your lights are on full time that they are being grounded
somewhere other than through the switch.
