What are the odds of this?

Or rabbits.

Apparently people parking at DIA for more than a week have had the insulation eaten from the car's wiring.

Need more foxes, coyotes and hawks.

I would say the odds are pretty good of that happening as they are both Jeeps.

I have an 82 CJ-7 and when it's hot out the turn signals don't work. The lights just stay on solid when you flip the switch. Once it's cooler,~90 or less they work great.

gotta love Jeeps.

Your the victim of an EMP. Get the bugout bag.............

That was my thought. Well played.

Make sure the bulbs are correct. The wrong bulbs might be the tail light problem.

When I had my grand cherokee I got pulled over by a cop who lives in my neighbor hood. Left tail light was out, he told me to get it fixed. About a week later I got pulled over by the same cop, he tells me that that my brake light was out. I promise him that I changed it out before he was able to tell me that it was the one on the right. He tells me to go get it fixed.

No joke, two weeks later the left one goes out again and he pulls me over, by this time he was used to me and I even showed him the package of bulbs that I now kept in the glove compartment.

This is just part of the two window motors, two transmissions, and two radiators that were all replaced. The steering that ALWAYS pulled to the right and nobody could ever align. Oh, and the blower motor that literately caught fire while I was driving through amarillo on my way back to colorado.

I would say the chances were pretty good too.

Wow when it rains it pours! Did you check fuses?

[Holger Danske]

a short maybe?

[Mazin]

All this talk makes me miss my YJ

For the Grand:
I checked fuses - all good.
Replaced the brake light switch - no help.
Replaced the bulb housing (known problem with these WJs) - no help.
Completely removed the tail light lens housing that was the original problem (passenger side). I figured there might be a short in there somewhere that was f-ing up the whole system - no help.
Now I'm completely clueless as to what it could be. I'm no electrical genius. I have a ? in on jeepforum. com. We'll see if I get a good answer.

The weird thing is that the drivers side and the third light on the hatch were working fine until I replaced the bulb on the passenger side. Then all three went out. WTF! Sure seems like a fuse went out, but I can't find one that's bad.

For the TJ:
Simple headlight switch replacement - $25. The bitch has 165K miles. She deserves a new headlight switch after all the abuse I put her through.
