I need to know how to replace the multi purpose turn signal switch on a 1998 jeep Cherokee sport does it have a headlight relay and where is it located?
Wow, no symptoms posted, just a hunt....
head lights dead, high .low and flash?
blinkers dead, or acting FUNNY?
omg both?
did you test fuses first?
the book is free, posted now over 300 times
just read the real book, not a clone, or autostore rag
every question asked is in the FSM book
the real factory service manual.
why not read that first. then ask a more hard question?
98 xJ
chapter 8w covers all electrics
and then the other chapters even cover how the lighting controls work.
step 1 is defeat air bags, if not its a great danger to all mechanics. and for sure DIY fiddlers.
step 2, pull neg battery lug,.
3 questions.asked where is it , how to get it out.
the vague blink, HL questions.
page 8w-50
is your car in Canada with DRL lighting, or worse Europe?
on our LHD, USA car
the HL switch sends fused power to the LHs.
4 fuses.
the HL common wire is ground at G106 up front.
power to the switch is from F7 main PDC fuse.
The actual switch (combo) also has and emerg. circuit breaker inside, for when owners use wrong fuses, no fire happens.
there is no relay if no DRL or no option for head lamp delay feature. (no symptoms, be impossible to answer) nor county.
now blinks. 8w-52
turn sigs, are the emergancy flasher working????????
that be a huge clue that.
truns.
there are 3 major parts
the 2 fuses.pdc 20 and JB12 (pdc is engine bay and JB cab)
this powers the Combo flasher module.
that that powers the combo switch assembly
that in turn blinks all lamps. or haz
now you know why haz lamps are question 1.
last is the how to remove the combo switch.
8e-17 (chapter 8e page 17)
covers removal of switch and i quote.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the knee blocker from the instrument
panel. Refer to Knee Blocker in the Removal and
Installation section of this group for the procedures.
(3) Pull the headlamp switch control knob out to
the On position stop.
(4) Reach up under the instrument panel through

(5) While holding the release button depressed,

(6) Remove the spanner nut that secures the headlamp

the book there is real FSM.
the adds have Chilton pages pay for the web site,, try no not read ads. and win.
gee anon, the free REAL book links are posted here
over 300 times..
gee....
sounds like you have axe to grind,
all a Chilton is , is a rag! Trash.
They takes 10 years of real JEEP FSM pages
and mixes all years to one thin book.
then leaves out 99.9% of the good stuff.
Chiltons books are for kids, those that never learned to read a real factory service manual.
omg, it's all there, and only for MY jeep and nothing missing , or wrong.
OMG, it's REAL.
and now the real real thing, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR IN BOOKS....!!!

first remave the headlamp and then remove the marker lamp assy.
SOURCE: How to replace headlights on 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
One long bolt at the top - requires a 7mm socket to remove the bolt. The light housing will pry out with a screw driver. There are three ball and socket type connectors that hold the housing in and I just pryed off the plastic housing carefully and "balls" pop out of the sockets. Finally, I was replacing the faded plastic housing and it came with a new wiring harness. It's impossible to reach the connector to use the new wiring harness that comes with the new plastic light housing. So just use the existing wiring harness with the new light assembly.

More than likely you have a bad ground. Under the rear of the vehicle, behind the rear bumper there will be a few wires running to a bolt in the frame (left side i think) Check that no wires are loose or boken. Also if you have a trailer wiring harness, check to see if it has not been damaged. Let me know if this helps :)
SOURCE: Where is the horn relay located on a 95 jeep grand cherokee?
On my 95 Jeep Cherokee Laredo, the horn relay is in a compartment under the glove box. Open the glove box and remove the three screws in the front on the bottom. Take the plastic cover out and you'll see a bank of relays. The horn relay is the one on the far left, closest to you.
SOURCE: Where is the horn relay on a 1998 jeep cherokee
it is located under the hood in the power distribution center near the coolant overflow resevoir
