Hello Beau Hunter,

According to the FREE circuit drawings (real ones) I am
going over... If, if & if.. (BBB Industries website):
BBB Industries Premium Alternators Starters Power Steering Products

No Switch change-out has been done
No wiring has been repaired (or rerouted) ... &
No new "relays" recently replaced (or swapped)...

What you are describing COULD NOT be happening...

And were that the FINAL ANSWER... I would not
have enjoyed lucrative & interesting careers in
maintenance, repair & restoration...

So barring the recent introduction of a
HUMAN ERROR (described above) you are going
to be looking for damage or wear. The GM "exterior lights"
drawing is difficult to follow... but if you take it by EACH
FUNCTION and trace it back to your light switch...

You are likely going to find the issue near, at or on
THAT light switch...

TWO wrong things have to be happening and the
switch does indeed seem to provide "dome light"
POWER in the "OFF" position.

I would recommend starting with those "TAIL LIGHTS".

A TONE TRACER is ideally suited to this type of
trouble shooting... keeping in mind... to properly
verify "A WIRE" ... it needs to be ISOLATED
(BULB or connector open out at far end...
connector open at switch... or fuse pulled at source).

Example TONE TRACER
Extech TG20 Wire Tracer and Tone Generator Amazon com

Buss Fuse tester and kit
Amazon com Bussmann DIA 2 ATM Blade Fuse Diagnostic Kit Automotive

Hope this helps...

SOURCE: 03 Jeep Wrangler fog lights won't turn on

There seems to be a problem on the power side. You should have at least one terminal at the relay that is hot. The switch activates the relay and transfers the power from the "live" terminal to the hot lead to the lights. Good news is you can completely disconnect fog lights and make your own harness (including a relay) and use a push button or toggle switch on the dash, just like the aftermarket add on lights use! (and it's likely cheaper and more reliable than the original setup)

SOURCE: Fog lights will not turn off on 2002 Jeep Wrangle Sahara

This is a relay problem, Dont cut any wires you will still have power running to the fog lights and it will drain your battery still so you are not fixing the problem. The Sahara comes standard with fog lights and there is really no way to get rid of them except for repairing the problem at hand

SOURCE: 2001 jeep wrangler sport ,fog lights on, switch off

I have a simular problem. Only mine does not some on. I tried to replace the turn signal switch assembly with a used one. The replacement work ok on the fog lights but the rest was bad. As near as I can figure it, the switch assemble is not well made and had many ways to go bad. Either replace the whole assemble or wire in a bipass switch. I am going to go with a bipass switch. I don't trust the new jeep products.

SOURCE: 99 gmc denali dash light, parking lights, tail

You have a short to ground somewhere in the drl-fog lamp circuit. Check for obvious wiring connector or wiring to drl & fog lamps. check wiring for pinched or broken wires coming from sockets. If you don't find problem, you can trace wiring from lamps to main harnesses and hopefully find source of short.
hope this helps.

2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4x4 Light Problem

You checked to make sure you didn't blow all the bulbs at once?
If your front park lights work, then the headlight switch is probably alright.
You may have a taillight relay in your fusebox. Check the owner's manual. It may show it.

Dashboard lights on my 1988 jeep wrangler arent working with mu headlights on.

the whole dash's wiring comes through the headlight switch, this switch contains a rheostat (an adjustable dimmer for the dash lights), which are notorious for going bad due to their static type operation, chances are it needs a new switch.

Remove wiring connector from switch and pry on switch to remove. Push switch into braket until it seats. Pull brake pedal rearward as far as it will go pedal tang will "ratchet" switch to correct position as pedal is pulled rearward. Reconnect the wires and check to see if it works.

Fog lights will not turn off on 2002 Jeep Wrangle Sahara

Or you could just pull out the relay under the hood, it's marked fog lights, pull the relay out. If your hi beam indicator is flashing with your fog lights on them selves. Could be the multi function switch. That controls turn signals, headlights, fog, I have seen many of those go bad.

1998 Jeep Wrangler TJ Headlights working intermittently

I have a 97 TJ and the headlights wouldn't come on but the parking lights would. Funny thing was that if I pulled the brights to flash someone, the brights would work. I took out the old headlight switch ($26 at Checker) and they work again. When I pulled the switch there was one connector that seemed to be corroded. Hope this helps

1990 Jeep Wrangler Problem:

1990 Jeep Wrangler. Driving with lights on for 10 - 15 minutes. First the dash lights go out followed by the headlight and tail lights. If you pull the dimmer switch back (like you would to flash your brights at someone) the head lights will come on and as long as you continue to pull back on the dimmer switch the head lights will stay on bright.
