Clock/tail lights

Post by deckroid »

Hey folks,

Got yet another question for all you Wagoneer/Cherokee/Grand Wagoneer Wizards out there...

1984 Grand Wagoneer. Clock and rear lights do not function anymore. Here is a list of what I have done...

Checked fuses. My panel says CLOCK/HAZ/STOP. It's a 20 amp. Fuse is good.
Also checked the ACC 10 amp fuse. Fuse is good.
(MR 253 gives 2 places for clock, so checked just cuz)

Checked Hazards. Front hazards fine. Only driver side flashes.
Checked bulbs. Passenger side rear is burned out. Don't have any to change it. Will get one.
Checked Turn Signals. Fronts are fine. Rear, no.
Checked wiring in rear, both sides. No obvious issue.

Besides replacing the bulb, which can't be the reason for this, is there anything anyone can think of?

I also ran through the other electronics...
radio, good
windows up/down, good
rear window up/down, good
locks, good
dome lights work
running lights work
fan/heater work
a/c fan works... a/c is in serious need of coolant or upgrade

Thanks!

Which lights not working on rear. Sound like no brake or turn which is one filiment . Running light are another filiment. Suspecting rear ground wire not working and that is what I would chase first.

Running lights are on the side... the only lights working are when hazards are flashing. It's weird.
