Howdy everyone,got a question for you.
My son has a 95 XJ Country and we did a tuneup to get it ready for his smog check so he can renew his tags. Well it is showing a Code 76---Ballast bypass relay---an open or short ing the fuel pump relay circut.
I can not find this dang thing anywhere in the engine bay. If it was removed would it set this code?
My son talked to a buddy of his and he said the 95 never had one, I told him that if this so it shouldn't be showing this dang code.
And to answer your questions, we have cleared the codes over and over and it keeps showing back up.
Any help would be awsome,
Thanks a bunch.
Don.

my ballast on my 92 is on the driver side. check it out. yes it will throw a code if its having issues. you sons buddy is incorrect

Don, i think your reading the code wrong. On an OBDI (96 started OBDII)setup it only goes up to 55 whick you will always get at the end of a reading.

Is it possible your missing the slight pause and actually have a code 21 followed by a 55?

I could be way wrong here i suppose...

This is more like it. didnt even notice it was a 95.

i dont know if this will be much help but on the drivers side of the engine bay there is a white ballast resistor with 2 wires connected to it and i believe that may be the one your talking about here is a pic of it

In my Chilton book is says that the carbureted engines go to #55.
91-95 models go to #88. To read the codes on my sons jeep we turn to key on-off 5 times and it showes the codes,isn't that OBD1.

88 is Renix era... pre OBDI.

If i'm correct that you are missing the pause and you have a 21 plus the 55 end of sequence that would indicate a bad O2 sensor.
