CJ dash lights not working
The dash lights on the 86 CJ7 aren't lighting when I turn on the parking
lights or headlights. None of them. Three most obvious things I'll check (fuse is OK) are: - problem with light switch - problem with power feed wiring after the fuse - problem with ground I've heard ground is a common cause of this problem. Anybody have any advice on that? The wiring diagram shows that pretty much all of this stuff gets spliced together and grounded at one point, which I believe is on the back of the dash panel? Can someone tell me where to find the ground connection for the dash lights? |

It's not something simple like the light switch knob is turned dim

Thanks for asking, but no, I checked that and it's not the problem :-)

Re: CJ dash lights not working
Pull a bulb, they may be all burnt out. If the volt meter shows they
don't have power, pull your light switch by pulling out the knob, then reaching behind the dash and depressing the release button, and unscrew the switch to get it out where you may play with it, and confirm the variable resistor is kuput.
