First off just would like say hey all, it's been awhile.
Jeep info
1997 4.0L
AW4
Modified tail lights- LED set up using a tow ready harness (followed Hammered's write up) been working fine for about 3 years
Anyway the other day found out my brake lights are doing a steady burn (looks like I'm driving around with my brake pedal pressed). I switched out the brake light switch for a new mopar one and the brake lights still stay on, including the third in the middle. Other things I've noticed are the turn signals still work fine, brake lights go off when xj isn't keyed on, hazards work correctly, if I don't have it keyed "on" or running but turn on lights, the brakes lights operate correctly in running light fashion and if I press brakes in they operate correctly. If I turn key over brake lights immediately turn on with out lights being turned on and produce the steady burn as if brake pedal is pressed.
It seems I'm past the brake switch so I've been checking my fuses and such, all are good, I did also noticed the fan for my climate controls has been engaging immediately when I key on as well. The climate controls are on the same fuse and relay as the stop signals. My question would where should I start looking for the short? I started cleaning the grounds to see if that helps. Maybe a different module or relay went bad. If anyone thinks of a different test to try let me know. :banghead::banghead::banghead:
