Ok so I fixed the cigarette lighter today. All along I was wondering what it could be, but today it occured to me to check the fuse. The fuse turned out to be blown. So, I changed that.
Now, my two other problems. The first is the notorious headlight problem on J's. My passenger headlight is acting crazy. Where is the relay located? Also, I know Joe gives good deals on parts. Can I have his number? Do I tell him about Nico?
The other problem is that my dash lights/instrument lights wont come on anymore. None of the dash lights nor the radio/climate control display turn on. The only time my radio/climate control lights will show is if I have the headlights off. Do you get what I am saying or should I explain a little more? lol
Is there a relay/fuse for the instrument/dash lights? If so, where is it located?
Please help me. My J is on the road to recovery. Little things like this make me want to sell my J. But I still love it...so yeah..please help.
Take care.
Later...:help

Here's a direct link to the relay.http://www.fuzzycats.com/docs/headlight_relay.pdf
The interior light issue is probably the dimmer switch. I've heard of it before. You can replace it, or some members have found that cleaning it with electrical contact cleaner works well too.
Joe's number is 1-888-216-5328. You can mention NICO, he posts here from time to time and helps us out a lot!

How much did it run you? So I guess I will be getting a dimmer and a relay from him.
Does anyone recommend me getting these parts from ebay or from salvaged J's?
Thanks for your help guys.
