I hope I am posting in the right forum. I am new here.
I am having problems with my 2000 Cherokee Sport. I keep blowing headlight switches. My headlights with start to bllink and I can usually get them back on if I wiggle the switch, but it only works for a little while. I think I am on my third of fourth switch in 2 years. I have tried different brands to see if that makes a difference. It doesn't. Any help would be appreciated. I work night and this is becoming a big problem for me.

If you haven't then check for shorts and lossy grounds as others have suggested.

I removed the new injectors and put the old ones back in and reset the computer. Problem solved. The new injectors must have been rated at a higher flow rate than advertised causing a rich fuel mixture.

Is a Cherokee considered a "small" vehicle? Argued with a guy on CL about it he said they were small, compact vehicles and a real full size is a Blazer or Z71... Am I right or wrong?
