Oh yeah the electrical gremlins are here!

I have all sorts of issues with my electrical in my 98' XJ 4.0 Auto. Its driving me nuts! I need your guy's help on how-to track them down or if I should just run new wires instead.

My heater just stopped working except for the highest level.

My Driver side front and rear running lights keep popping fuse #15

Here are the things that work now, but have had issues with in the past that just "fixed" themselves

Rear wiper would just shutoff during use, or just not work for days at a time

Reverse lights didnt work for a while, now they do somehow

So I really your help here guys, I've been dealing with these things for too long and have been pulled over 5-6 times for the tail light issue! I really need to get these things fixed. Any help would be great.

for the heater blower it's prolly the blower resistor, easy fix.
the running lights, maybe a shorted wire or bad bulb socket, check the wiring near the lights for rubbing or corosion, wiper problem, prolly a motor going bad, and the backup lights is the NSS ( nuetral safety switch) I've read that they can be cleaned and adjusted, but have not had to do mine yet:dunno:
