Any one know why the map lights on my 04 rubicon will not come on by pressing the button, but yet when i open the door or turn the dial to make all lights come on they work?

Thanks in advance

Your lights have a button? Fancy... Great looking jeep by the way :thumb:

Thanks, yea i thought it was wierd to have map lights and a electronic compass, my 99 didnt have those fancy options!

Does anyone else have this problem, i doubt it's the fuse since they come on with the main switch...

i'd check fuses, depends on how it is wired, but when you open the door and they come on , I believe that is going to a ground. go with fuses first, it is the easiest and most likely issue IMO, but without a wiring diag it would be hard to say.

Now im wondering if this is OEM, do the 04 rubicons have a option for a rear view with map lights and a compass/temp?

 

[endlesshydro]

Does anyone else have these lights on the underside of the rearview mirror?

ill try to get a picture up later

My 04 Rubicon has the same rear view mirror...lights, temp, and compass

If it is the OEM one with 2 lights, compass & temp there should be 3 buttons. Left & right for each of the 2 lights & the middle for the compass/temp function. Does either of the 2 light switches (buttons) work? If everything else works I would guess the switch(es) is/are bad.

ooohhh fancy
I just found a gentex mirror at take a part that has a compass and autodials. figured that would be useful

The power button works and changes the temp from C to F and the autodim goes on and off but neither light will turn on with the buttons, they do come on however with the cab lights...so i know they work.

 

[RUBI 4 MY MRS]

Is it correct that to turn the autodim on & off you have to push both left & right buttons (same buttons as to turn the l & r lights on)?

 

[endlesshydro]

Not sure.. there is a power button, i know if you hold that you go through the autodim settings.

 

[RUBI 4 MY MRS]

So how many buttons are there? I think I read there should be 3. The center for the temp/compass, the l & r for the l & r lights (off & on) then holding BOTH l & r buttons to work the autodim.(?) Also the autodim should go off when in reverse.

 

[endlesshydro]

thats correct, except the L&R buttons arent doing anything.... but yet the lights work.

 

[RUBI 4 MY MRS]

If the buttons work the autodim then you would think the buttons (switches) are working so the lights should also. However since those switches have 2 functions I'm wondering if there is some kind of circuit in there that has malfunctioned. There is no info in the FSM wiring diagrams that show the internal switching function of the mirror so you probably have to either live with it, replace the mirror or try to take it apart & see if there is anything in there that can be repaired.
