2005 TJ Fog Lamps
Looking for advice, my TJ ( bought used ) has always had a issue, when I plug in the Fog Lamp relay the fog lamps turn on, I expect it's in the switch or steering column wiring but just wondering if any one has had the wiring disassembled and found this to occur or if anyone can suggest where to start with the wiring. I have checked the lights wiring for grounds etc., found a bad connector so now both lights come on but can't turn them off?
Thanks |

It's a common issue with tj's, can't remember what I did to solve the problem on mr.whites tj, he might remember though.

Back on Dec 22/2011 I responded to about the same question from "Canadian Bacon" rather than search for his question here's the reply I gave him:
One thing u can do if your in doubt of my instructions is go to ur dealer and ask him for a schematic of the wiring for the mult task switch (I got mine FREE) or you can first remove the NEG battery cable hang it up somewhere so it doesn't touch anything metal, wait 30 mins (as above) remove the 4 screws around the column nears the dash (its a covering) the switch is on ur left closest to the door. You will see a orange and white wire, snip this one only... your going to put a new switch on/off mounted somewhere convenient to your dash (I put mine on the left side in the lower part as it was easy to install and replace if i broke it later) the wire isn't going to be long enuff so ur going to have to tap a wire to it.. soldiering is the best and cover it with either electrical tape or the rubber meltie thingie (looks like a rubber tube-u heat and it melts on the wire) so the switch can go inbetween the wires. So now when u want power for ur fogs u will have to turn this switch on first.. everything else will come on as b/4.. I suggest u mount the switch with the off UP and the on DOWN - so if ur knee hits the switch ur fogs won't come on accidentally...and preferably as switch with a metal toggle, plastic breaks easy if the knee hits it.. Lets know if this corrects the problem |
