Hey guys, I started my 1990 XJ today and found that my dash lights didnt work. Didnt think much of it until everyone on the highway started flashing their lights at me and honking. I pulled over to find that my tail lights were out. I've done the research and I hope by replacing the headlight switch, my issue will be solved (although some threads have told me this might not be the issue after all... fingers crossed). Could someone tell me what the wire size is for this connector? I'll be using butt splice connectors and I want to make sure I use the right size for the wire.

No, I wish haha. It was my headlight switch. Thing was basically melted together haha. Really simple fix, best thing is that my stereo started working again somehow. Jeeps.... haha

Another reason for a headlight harness upgrade. Get the high draw for the headlights off that switch using the relays in the upgrade harness.
