94 jeep Cherokee SE Lo Beam Problems

[Dead-Locked]

Hello.

Recently i've been having problems with my lo beams not working. Randomly they'd just not flip on, and i could flip from hi to lo very quickly or a bump would make them work again. (or any combination of the two). I've looked around on this foum. I've seen people having problem with the relay switch. (What is that? How much? And is it easy to fix?)

On another forum i've been told it could be a grounding issue. All my other lights, work just fine. I've also been told it could be the lights themselves, yet could the lights sparadically work here and there, (throught the last 3 months) and then all of a suddenly both die at the same time? (This is only the lo beams of course.)

Thanks for any help.

The relay is located on the fuse panel under the driver side dash.

You could also have a bad hi/lo switch.

Thanks. Anyone have any idea where the headlights are grounded at?

I was having the same problem on my 1994 Jeep Cherokee Sport. Searched fuse panels and switches, finally got fed up and took it to a mechanic. After hours of inspection they found that a quick connect (wiring harness) for the wiring from the switch to the headlights had a dead short and melted together. It was located in dash behind the switch. They had to cut half of the connect off and directly wire some of the wires together. Problem sloved after about $250 in labour.
