Try taking your tilt steering(steeringwheel) and check which setting its on if the tilt steering is all the way down click it up to the next setting and then try your low beams if that still doesn't work try it one more click up you might have a short or pinched wire in your wheel colum

These jeeps have a daytime running light module (canada), that the low beam circuit runs through it, if defective, no low beams, also the multifunction switch is part of this circuit to, are the fuses good ? you can back probe the mfs, with a volt meter, remove the steering column covers, the mfs is part of the turn signal switch, schematics are avaible online from Napa, Part Source, MItchel on demand. GOOD LUCK. RDJRP

My 1996 jeep cherokee headlamps turn off and on on 5 second intervals. what could be the solution

I'm going to post this in the clarification section. I don't have a wiring diagram for a 96 Grand Cherokee headlight circuit.
The 95 models used a circuit breaker built-into the headlight switch. The 97 models used a fuse in the fuse box. If your model uses the headlight circuit breaker, a short in one of the headlights or the wiring harness would trip the circuit breaker in the switch. You could unplug one headlight at a time to see if it continues to go on and off.

Where would i find the headlight relay and/or headlight fuse in '98 jeep? my headlights just stopped working both high and low beams.

that wont be a fuse. yud have to blow 2 fuses for that to happen. (high and low fuse)

i would look more closely at the ground and power to the circuit, especially if they were both operating properly before.

1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport. My low beams will flash on and off along with the dash lights after a few minutes of driving. I am now forced to drive with my high beams on.

Sounds like a relay may need to be replaced. Check all of your fuses. Check the relays. I believe the Jeep has a relay for the headlights I could be mistaken. It would be my guess. But also, how long since you replaced the bulbs. A friend of mine had hers flicker when it was a "friendly reminder" to replace. But when you change something, it's always smart to replace the fuse that goes with it.

Best of Luck

Jeep Headlights not working. High beam works

had the same problem on my 92....check under the hood on the drivers side,towards the front,there is a "junction box" with all of the lighting wires connecting from the switches to the lights.My wires were all corroded inside,so I cleaned the ends and bought a new box from the local electronic supply store.The problem has not come back.

Cheers

Low beam headlights go out when switched from high beam

Check the fuse. There is a fuse block under the hood as well as on on the passenger side forward of the door jam, close to the loorboards. If thats not the problem try pulling the switch and make sure that it is not warn out. The switches inside are not what you may think and if you remove it you will see how easy it could fail. Try replacing the switch.
