Hi all, recently picked up a clean, rust free 99 4.0 with 186k on it for a steal to run as a daily driver, currently in the maintenence and repair stages. Has some minor issues to address, but nothing too bad (age related and general repairs/overhauls, bad heater core is worst issue)
Having an issue with my dash illumination. Installed LED backlighting in the cluster last night, tested and worked fine until i got everything back together. Now nothing. Gauges, indicators, etc all work fine. Dome lighting all works (switched to LED, still looking for footwell LED 631 bulbs). Hvac illumination is inop also. Factory radio was flaky when i purchased, would not power on and when it did would cut sound to the one working speaker and illumination/clock when moving mid/bass/treble sliders. Already removed to install a dual din unit and new wiring pulled for new speakers.
Fuses checked, replaced #2 our 25 amp cigar lighter fuse and #6 5a that were blown, no change. All other fuses look ok, in cabin.
Factory fog switch is also dead and has been since before all of this. Fogs do not work, but is a non issue as i will be installing a Rallylights.com upgraded relayed harness for new LED headlights, light bar, and fogs, along with upgraded grounds and battery cables.
Im stumped. Can anyone who’s dealt with similar issues point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Also, side note: can anyone confirm that a Moog DS1430 TJ tie rod will work on a stock XJ?
