No Headlights or Dash Lights - Searched

'89 XJ Laredo 4.0 AW4 NP242


My dash lights, headlights, highbeams, and fog lights have randomly stopped working. I just replaced the headlight switch with no success, and I believe the part is good because it can still control the dome light. Any suggestions? I need to drive her around at night, so I need this fixed quick.

have u checked if power was comming to the switch?????????

I have not done any electrical testing, but like i said, I can still control the overhead dome light with the switch, so I would assume it is getting some sort of power.

i belive the dome lights are controlled by a ground and not power.

Check the Red or Orange fuseable links on the starter relay BATT terminal.
That is where the light switch power comes from.

Did you check the fuses. recheck the connector to the light switch.

Headlights don't have a fuse. The dash and parking lights do though.
I think too you should double check the plug on the switch.

Headlights are on a fusible link. Not the same power feed as the interior light. Mine smoked the wire right next to the switch. High beam switch can cause light outages too as well as lights burning out at the same time due to power surge from the switch blowing out (mine ALL did that, including tail lights!)
