| Post subject: | Tail light problem, need help |
I'll be honest and admit up front that this post has nothing to do with CRD specifics (although it is on a CRD). I originally posted the problem down in the Electrical section where it belongs, but I didn't get any responses. I'm re-posting it up here so all the brains that only read the CRD section can give it a go... I'm having a tough time tracking down a problem on my 2006 KJ CRD, and could use some suggestions. This past weekend, all of a sudden three separate problems popped up: sunroof not closing right, rear power window not closing (usual regulator problem), and the tail and brake lights are out. These all happened at the same time, I swear my KJ got hit by lightning or something. I see no reason why the first two are related to the latter, they're both mechanical and I applied some workarounds until I get them fixed (duct tape and rubber door stops). The tail light issue is the one that has me puzzled. So here's the problem: The rear tail AND brake lights are not working, at all (both sides). The center high-mount brake light IS working, and the reverse and turn signals are both working. I've checked all fuses and found no failures, plus the right and left sides are fused separately. I checked out the wiring diagram from the Haynes manual (which says its only good to 2004 model, not sure if anything has changed), and it looks like the tail and brake lights have completely separate circuits and relays, and the brake lights don't use the BCM. I really have no idea what could have caused all four lights to go out at once. Anyone have any ideas short of a very selectively severed wiring harness (not likely, I've only been doing city driving)? Oh, and its 100 degrees and 110 heat index here, so working on this thing is MISERABLE. I need to get those lights back on soon, though, so I'll be legal. Thanks in advance! |

Yeah I saw the 100F reading for St Louis today. We are suppose to be around 96-98 with a heat index of 110-115 (for those out west, this is what we can a "wet" heat). If you've gone throught the fuses and control module, the next thing I would do is take you battery in to your favorite auto parts store and have them test it under a load. When the battery goes bad on this machine, all sorts of gremlins come out of the woodwork. My  , Hope you have a shade tree and a nice breeze...Boilermaker2 |

Why are you using a Hanes manual for an 04  Sir Sam has posted a link where he has graciously provided a FSM you can download  For the link read SAM'S CRD NOB GUIDE  Hope this helps. |
