I tried to post a picture of the MJ but it's been some time since I've done it and I obviously didn't do it right....I gotta figure how to post pictures again...
I got my headlight harness put in and there is a dramatic difference in the lights now, I can actually see, but I still have the issue of all the lights, dash included, dimming a bit when I hit the brake pedal. I got to checking the ground wires and I noticed that there is no ground wire from the block to the firewall. I haven't had a chance to look everywhere to see if the ground is in a different location, but could that be the culprit if there isn't one from the block to the body?
The main ground from the battery only goes to the block. There is not one from the battery to the inner fender either.
This is on an '89 MJ with the 4.0/AW4.
Mark, I unplugged my Bulkhead connector and cleaned the goo out of it, and it REALLY improved things like that, my headlights are nice and bright, and never falter. If you're not having to do a ton of work to the fuse box itself, that connector is easy to pull off and clean.
Might be worth your time...
I'll check that out. I haven't had to do any work to the fuse box itself and the Jeep is really clean so hopefully it will all come apart without me breaking something.
There is a small bolt between the 2 plugs on the engine side of the firewall, either an 8mm or 1/4", depending on the mood in the factory that day. unscrew that, and the thing should unplug pretty easily. I cleaned mine with a steel toothbrush and some CRC QD Contact cleaner, then smeared a little dielectric grease and put it back together.
