Problems with TJ headlamp/dimmer switch?
Hi Folks,
As anyone experienced problems with the factory headlamp/dimmer switch
assembly? My head lamps appears to switch on and off if the ****
jiggles. I think it's a bad contact. I sprayed electrical contact
cleaning inside, but it didn't help.
The assembly removes, but disassembly doesn't appear possible (a sealed
plastic molded unit). Has anyone taken this apart or fixed?
Jeep wants $75 for a new assmebly!
Thanks,
Nick

I got mine at Autozone and it was the exact same switch as came out of
my Jeep down to the initials handwritten on the inspection tag sticker.
