Just noticed a few problems the other day that might be related to one
another.

The passenger's side power window, when you get in the car and crank it up
for the first time, doesn't work. Usually if I click on the window lock and
then click it off, the window works. Sometimes it takes two or three on off
cycles, other times it doesn't. No rhyme or reason this started happening,
no new electrical appliances added or removed.

The next thing I noticed was that my 4wd shifter and my regular shifter
(P,R,N,D,3,2-1) wasn't illuminated either (Not sure what the correct term is
for the "regular shifter). Well, I smacked the side of the 4wd shifter, and
the light to that has come back on (and I'm pretty sure) stayed on.

Well, I decided to pop the cover off my regular shifter to see if I could
find the problem. I can't. It still doesn't light up, AND now I can't get
the damn thing back together. I searched the factory service manual I have
for my Jeep, but I can't find that part anywhere.


Soo, the questions.

What's wrong with the windows?
How do I get my shifter back together again? (The thing that has
P,R,N,D,3,2-1)
How do I get it to light up?




TIA

....sounds like the wire coupler is loose on the switch to me...if
jiggling the door lock fixes the windows....I'd pull it apart and
take a look-see. My advice...get a meter. Tracing electrical shorts is
not rocket science...it simply takes time and attention to
details..follow the path and test at every junctiion.

Try popping the interior door panel off and tightening the connector
to the
switch panel. Or, get a multimeter out and play with the wire bundle
whilst you check for opens. And check the relay as well.

Probably the reverse of getting it off...and RTFM manual again...you
do have
a FSM, right?

Try replacing the bulb, rather than beating the crap out of it. Or,
go high tech, and use LEDs...easy, looks good in my girl's XJ...
