Re: day time running lights

the common problem on these are people fill the washer bottle on these vehicles and spill it.what happens is the fluid runs down the side of the bottle and sits inside the harness that runs inbetween the bottle and body. the harness houses the wiring for both headlights and drl lights.the wiring is crimped togther and get washer solvet and water on it and it sits inside the harness. it starts to corrode over time and the wire or wires break.start by removing the washer bottle and opening up the harness and tracing the blue wire.at the l/f headlight connector.and the orange wire on the r/s connector.follow both. they run from both l/f and r/f headlights down past the washer bottle and into the firewall.i forget what circuit they are on.or check the harness that runs along the front of the car just below the hood latch.open up and trace these 2 wires you will probably find a break in the wire somewhere,or multiple breaks.this was a common problem on the j body cars.from 95-about 2000- 2001.
