Hey there, I've got a '98 XJ with the 4.0 pretty much straight stick; about 150k miles.
I'm forward deployed and my wife drives the green machine as a DD and have the luck of being back in Italy with her for awhile.
So here's the story.
I braved out the evaporator replacement a few weeks ago; the procedures and threads on this site were tremendously helpful!
Got it done (and replaced the heater core while at it).
A few days later, the right rear turn signal quit working. I've got the FSM and suspected the ground wire under the rear seat as the first suspect. Tweaked around with that a bit and it was snug. Had the XJ running with the right rear turn signal apart and wiggled around then the light started working again.
A couple weeks later, while driving up a bumpy hill with bottled water in the back, one of the water bottles fell over and banged up against the right rear inner quarter panel and the right rear turn signal quit working again.
So here's what I have: hazard flasher works on the other three lights, the parking lights all work, but the reverse lights don't (and I recently adusted the NSS and it's good to go).
Is there any commonality between the reverse lights and right rear turn signal?
I've got good ground on the connectors, but no hot 12v to the right rear turn signal fixture (including the connector behind the inner panel).
Suggestions most appreciated. Troubleshooting done with a Fluke DVM.
