Trying to change the courtesy light relay 1996 jeep grand cherokee need a diagram

kjc

Did you check your dimmer switch for the dash lights? If it's slid all the way up, it turns on the courtesy lights.

on my 98 grand cherokee if u manully turn on rear overhead light the courtesy lights will stay on until u manully turn it off.

Yes the overhead cadgo light I'm gonna change the relay switch thats the only thing I didn't change and it on ly happens when I turn the truck off and take the key out

If it's ONLY the cargo light, try pressing on the lense then closing the hatch.

When I push the cargo switch tbe light does not go out all lights work properly ehen key is in the on postion in the truck

All interior lights work correctly

Have you checked the rear flip up glass switch?
It's separate from the lift-gate hatch switch, it's actually part of the flip up glass latch.

Good catch!

I don't have a latch glass just a lift gate

Check every door also. Sometimes if door is not shut properly or the door switch is bad or misaligned it will keep those lights on also. My kids don't always completely shut one of the doors and I have to figure out which one.

But they are correct there is a switch for the light on the hatch or cargo bay lift door. If that is not shut fully the light will stay on. GC are known for have latch issues so hopefully it is shutting all of the way. And no my back window does not open, I have to open the whole hatch door.

On my ZJ and my WJ, the VIC will tell you which door is open. That is, IF IT WORKS! You may have a bad switch or one that doesn't disconnect or a pinched wire somewhere. I believe these switches form grounds and are hot all the time.

Well i changed both driver and passenger door jam switches i changed dash board headlight switch i even changed the courtesy light relay switch and the damn light still stays on i don't see a broken ground. Im at my wits end
