Have my own problem with getting my XJ started. At Bill's sugestion I
checked out the neutral switch- sure enough it started beautifully when I
tried to push the lever beyond park- and explains why my backup lights don't
work either. Probably leave working on it until spring or until it quits
totally- I'm no mechanic, but I'm pretty good with electrical stuff... Been
putting in a remote starter to lessen the freezing my ass off part of living
up here.

According to the FSM for my '97, fuse #10 in the power distribution center
is for the headlights. It is one of the huge fuses and has a rating of
30amps. Might not hurt to swap it just in case.

I'd drop by to lend a hand, but I'm in Rochester. Here in Minnesota's
"banna belt" it is a balmy 19F (1F windchill). Good luck with your lights
and keep us posted.

Monte, I have the same problem with my 1993 XJ's neutral switch. If I can't
push the shifter forwards far enough, I jostle the shifter around neutral
until it fires. I don't have backup lights either. I've been living with it
for years...

Re: 98 TJ: No headlights or turn signals!
 

I checked #10, along with all other fuses.. and all were good. I haven't
had time to check the fusable links yet, it's just to damn cold out right
now and I haven't hooked up my garage furnace yet :(

btw, same thing happened last night driving to the store(before the sun went
down). I left it running while I was inside, and came out to perfectly
working headlights..

sheesh... ;)
