TJ Bright Lights Not Working....

Re: TJ Bright Lights Not Working....
The fogs have a tag on the power relay so they will not turn on when the
high beams are on so that is perfectly normal and shouldn't have
anything to do with your trouble.
And just maybe you also have 2 burned out bulbs? It happens more often
then folks think.
The click and bright warning light on implies the switch is working.
I would take a multimeter, even a cheap $2.00 one and see if there is
voltage to the headlight plug when the high beams are on. If no power,
then I would suspect the relay is dead, if power, the bulb is burned.

The fog lights are wired to turn off when high beams are on (it's the
law), so it would appear that at least the dimmer switch is working as
the same contact in the switch feeds both the high beam and the fog
lamp circuitry . The same circuit drives the high beams, fog lamps
and the high beam indicator lamp in the dash.
The high beam output is pin 3 (red/orange wire) of the dimmer switch,
that appears to be ok. From there, it runs to connector C107, pin 4
(red/orange wire) in the left kick panel (while driving, your left
foot, size twelve or better, should hit that connecter). There should
be a large harness connector there with three smaller connectors
plugged into it. C107 is the yellow connector, the other connectors
are colored black and blue.
Pin 4 from C107 (red/orange wire) runs to the black connector C110,
just behind the left front wheel. C110 pin 4 (red/orange wire) runs
inside the cable bundle directly to the left head lamp connector, pin
1 and from there to right headlamp connector pin 1.

The fog lights are behaving normally. The factory fogs are wired to
go off when you turn on the high beams.
You just have high beams that are inop.
Two bad bulbs? Rare, but I *have* seen it before.
When that happened to me, it was 'cuz the jack handle was shorting out
the lights, but that was a YJ, and I have no idea where the jack
stores on a TJ.
