Simple diagnostics? Yeah i troubleshooted the problem for quite some time via the Internet. I had all the symptoms. The fix works and it took all about ten minutes. I'd rather be a smartass than a *******...

His jeep is not yours..... You don't know it's the switch for sure, he needs to do some simple testing first.

If the plastic isn't melted that bad you can still use it. Most write ups tell you just to take the one light bulb out of the switch cause it produces too much heat.
