I hope that someone can help with this problem fast. I have 93 J30 and I am having headlight problems. When you turn the headlight switch to the on position the only thing that comes on is the high beams. The headlights, taillights, corner lights, and dash lights do not come on. So far I have tried 4 different headlight relays, and tried one other headlight/blinker control unit(the stalk you use to turn them on and off). Granted all of the relays that we tried we're used as well as the switch. Two of the relays did the same ting as the first, the other two only worked the left or right headlight.

So does anyone have anything that can help me? Please.

your headlight relay is most likely shot. you need a new one. i had this happen to mine took forever to fiigure it out. nthe relay is on the drivers side behind the shock tower next to the firewall. its a small black box held in by one bolt. with the connecter on the bottom. easy to replace.

I know that, I already tried 4 different used ones, I suppose it's possible that they were all bad, but I did already swap it out. Do you think that all of these problems (headlights,taillights,and dash lights) are all part of the same thing, thank you for the help.

you could have tried 4 bad ones. if all your relays and fuses are good and you know that you tried a good headlight relay then you may have an issue in the wiring somewhere. also check all your connections and make sure they are on all the way and clean. i bought a brand new one from the store and it fixed it. i had the same issues as you everything out but the headlights. im always glad to help a fellow j owner since there isnt many (well basically only a few) around where im at that i rarely see.

One headlight (high and low beam) wont work. Is it a relay problem? The fuses are good. And I changed the bulbs... Does anyone know whats up?
