Yep, they're not cheap. I looked around but only the dealer had one. I paid $123.00 including taxes.

Nice write-up. I guess when I bought mine I got lucky. I found a new Mopar part online a year or so ago for a little over 50 bucks, don't remember exactly. It was weird cuz the same place was asking like 30 bucks more for the switch w/o foglights. Most of the ones I could find then were $80-90. The price you got sounds about right for the current time. |

Awesome pix and informative post. Did u know how old your new switch was as I understand from the TSB, it has to be a newer one or it issues may return? Was there a date code on it? |

What kinda problems were you having? My battery died for the third time today for no reason. I drive it the night before and its fine, next morning its slap dead. Ive seen the inside lights on when no one was in the Jeep so I guess Ill start with those.. 
Hopefully its not the BCM or a short somewhere. If its a short I may set it on fire and draw insurance. |

Two things were happening. First, I started hearing a clicking sound which I couldn't place, somewhere under the dashboard. Second, the headlights wouldn't turn off. Or they would, but not always. When I changed the switch both of those stopped. From what I've read about this switch, there are quite a few possible symptoms, like interior lights, dash lights, etc. |

Hey, I don't want to take credit where it's not due. I just posted a couple youtube videos of KJs on fire, I didn't offer any constructive advice (that I remember  )

The center dome light (above the back seat) has never shut off in mine since the 1st time I drove it. I still have the bulb in the glove box. |

But I remember it being helpful at the time...
