[scottmcneal]

Great.So you made it home with no problems at all? Now we need to do it better.We'll use shrink wrap on all the wires.Do you have any?

My jeep was having a cook off

(headlight switch plug)

 

[scottmcneal]

Keep that plug or take a pic of the backside so you know how to wire it again if you smoke it.

 

[hawkeye 1]

What else are you running through that switch besides the factory lights?

 

[tone]

Only headlights - Hella E-code lamps with hella 80/100 bulbs

 

[hawkeye 1]

Shouldn't be that hot, someting is overloading the system.
You could try putting relays in between and using the switch as trigger for the headlights only, that takes the load off of the wiring.

 

[scottmcneal]

He had a wire that was loose on the switch, he found it when we fixed them the other night.
I should say I gave him the stuff and made him do it.He is learning how to do Elec.Did a good job too

 

[hawkeye 1]

glad you've got it fixed.

 

[GrimmJeeper]

Falk that's a pretty common problem, the XJ's headlight wiring is grossly undersized, and the full power for the lights runs through the switch itself. Horrible design.

Is there a plug n play upgraded harness?

 

[GrimmJeeper]

Yes there are quite a few of them available, one of the best is made by our own member jon kelley, aka 5-90. Shoot him a pm.

 

[hawkeye 1]

That's a piss poor design from the factory then, especially if somebody installs upgraded headlights with higher wattage. Put Relays in, that'll take the load of the switch.
