I have a 93 yj, I was messing around with the interior lights trying to add some new ones and now my dash gauge lights wont come on. the fuse is good, any ideas on what it could be?
I forgot to mention, when I turn on the headlights there is a click coming from the relay behind the radio area of the dash, I replaced it with a new one and it still clicks, I have headlights but no dash lights
relays might click, especially a heavier/industrial relay...
did you install LED lights? sometimes they will be the kind that allows to be installed either way, (not just positive to positive)... sometimes the LEDs need to installed only one way,
Im not sure, (memory issues), but one of those may affect the lights in other parts of the system...i.e. the other lights wont work
yes the LEDs are on their own wire to the battery,the dash lights are hooked up to the jeeps factory circuitry wich should include the headlights and dash lights
I wouldn't think that they would be the problem, but just for $hits and giggles, I would disconnect the LED's and see if the problem goes away. It's not likely, but since it seems to be easy to try it may be worth it. Good luck
originally I tried to wire the lights to the actual light bulb socket underneath the dash I just unplugged the factory light bulb and plugged in some different lights to the connector but it didn't work. I'm pretty sure doing that messed something up in the dash light area, afterwards I put a volt meter in and no voltage sensed by the meter, cant find any blown fuses
when I bought it the door hinge light switch was not attached and the light bulb under the dash wouldn't work unless you twisted the wire a certain way because it was so old and crusty. For me I thought it would be best to use that constant power supply and wire the switch and a new light to it. Sometime when i was wiring it I messed something up so now that socket doesn't have power and neither do the dash lights.
does anyone else have any ideas about if there are any other fuses or things connected to the dash lights or where the fuse is to the little light bulb underneath
