Intermitten Electrical Problems
Just noticed a few problems the other day that might be related to one another. The passenger's side power window, when you get in the car and crank it up for the first time, doesn't work. Usually if I click on the window lock and then click it off, the window works. Sometimes it takes two or three on off cycles, other times it doesn't. No rhyme or reason this started happening, no new electrical appliances added or removed. The next thing I noticed was that my 4wd shifter and my regular shifter (P,R,N,D,3,2-1) wasn't illuminated either (Not sure what the correct term is for the "regular shifter). Well, I smacked the side of the 4wd shifter, and the light to that has come back on (and I'm pretty sure) stayed on. Well, I decided to pop the cover off my regular shifter to see if I could find the problem. I can't. It still doesn't light up, AND now I can't get the damn thing back together. I searched the factory service manual I have for my Jeep, but I can't find that part anywhere. Soo, the questions. What's wrong with the windows? How do I get my shifter back together again? (The thing that has P,R,N,D,3,2-1) How do I get it to light up? TIA Hank -- 2001 XJ 91,523 Miles Wilderness Roof Rack IPF Headlights Lightforce 170 Striker |

My advice...get a meter. Tracing electrical shorts is not rocket science...it simply takes time and attention to details..follow the path and test at every junctiion. ....Gareth |
