  • My 94 YJ has had non-functioning headlights on many occasions and each time it was caused by a different failure! Let me walk you through what those have been.

    Preventitive maintenance on most Jeeps needs improvement. Do it while you are in the process of, for example, removing a fuse. While you have the fuse box off. Take out the fuses, 1 by 1, wipe the ends with 4x steel wool and then spray with electrical contact cleaner in the slots of the fuse box where the fuses fasten. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
    Your video was very good in identifying various causes.

      Rock on man! This Jeep is such a good example of my complete lack of preventative maintenance. And this channel is about me trying to change that. Lol thanks for the insightful comment!

    I have a 2000 Jeep TJ and it has a factory "old school" pull out Head light switch that rotates for interior brightness. Weird...

    My 2001 wrangler headlights only quit. Running lites work. There is no fuse under hood labeled headlamps or lights. Is there a second fuse panel?

    • @JeepSheepTV
      @JeepSheepTV  Рік тому

      There is another fuse panel in or behind you glove box and it does have a headlight fuse, or at least that's what google says. I do not have a TJ... yet

      It was the main fuse under the hood. The fuse description wasn't obvious at first to me. They work now. Thanks

    Is it just jeeps that do this. I got a set a lights from a junk yard just for kicks. From an old jeep? Would this hapen to mine?

    • @JeepSheepTV
      @JeepSheepTV  4 роки тому +2

      It's really any old car. The contracts get corroded and loose. Many times you can just clean them and they work fine.

    I have a 89 and my lows don't come on unless I hold the high beam switch back any ideas?

    • @JeepSheepTV
      @JeepSheepTV  3 роки тому

      Shoot I have had that problem as well. I'm trying to remember but I think the low and high beams are connected at the high beam switch. If that switch goes bad you will lose the function of both. I wired up my own high beam switch because I didn't want to crawl under the dash to replace the oem one.

    do you know what i’d have to do if one of the headlights only work on high beam?

    • @JeepSheepTV
      @JeepSheepTV  Рік тому +1

      I would look at the connector on the headlight that doesn't work.

  • @colin5064
    @colin5064 2 роки тому

    How about number 6 the one you FAIL to mention the headlights RELAY mounted under the dash.
    This often can work loose with vibration ,or suffer from corrosion issues on the connectors.
    Or simply just fail through burnt internal switching contacts.

    I need your opinion brother I have a 1995 yj the issue is the rear lights don’t work but I do have turn signals and brake lights also the lights in my instrument cluster dnt work the fuse is good hopefully someone can help thank you

    • @JeepSheepTV
      @JeepSheepTV  2 роки тому

      Do the front running lights work. The rear running lights are on a different circuit than the brake and turn and they should come on when the dash lights do. I would look at the switch I replaced in this video or the connector going to it. Good luck!

      Does the CJ turn signal switch also do the brights? If so, the brights switch would turn off the lights if wiggled if it's going bad

      I've never worked on a liberty but my guess is the connector to the light or the bulb itself
