Lots of electrical issues...
Bought a 99 XJ. Airbag light was permanently on, so I bought a new clock spring to hopefully fix the problem. While replacing it I threw in a new blinker and wiper switch since they seemed to both have “random” issues when driving home. After replacing all 3 parts, Jeep runs smooth until you turn wipers on high, and only high. As soon as you hit high speed, the Jeep misses and trips relay. Wait a few minutes and works again. Without wiper blades on, the Jeep stays running, but still trips relay when turned on high. So, without the extra demand of actually moving the blades across the windshield, it runs slightly better. It also makes the airbag light kick on & off on the dash. You can hear a click in the steering wheel area and also in the fuse box on the passenger side. Any ideas??

Check grounds. Those are responsible for a lot of electrical gremlins as current finds other paths to ground through various circuits and components.
