Spent a great night playing with my new liberty. Installed Vent Shades, oil change, blind spot mirrors, pcv valve, air filter, replaced license plate lamp, third brake light bulb, checked tire pressure. Then I hit a snag. My passenger fog light was burnt out and I also noticed my passenger front marker bulb didn't blink alternating with the turn signal like the drivers side. I figured both were bulb issues so I purchased new and replaced. Still no fog light and my front passenger marker bulb just stays lit all the time even when blinker is signally right turn.
I do know my jeep was in a light front end collision but not totaled back in 2007. My cousin bought it from a local guy that does light collision repair work. I saw it before the repair so I know it got a radiator, core support, bumper, grill and other misc items up front. Air bags did not deploy. (previous owner centerlined a pole/tree is what I heard).
I don't even know where to start on figuring this out. Wiring and schematics were never my strong point but im not slouch and can follow instructions.
What in the world would cause the marker bulb to work and stay lit all the time but not blink when signal or hazard's are on? I tried a new bulb and changing the bulb from left to right and it worked correctly on other side so that's not the issue. I've got a wire hooked up wrong or unhooked somewhere/somehow. Anyone know how to trace or where to start looking for a correction?
The passenger fog light had butt connections about 4 inches from the fog light plug so I removed and redid that splice thinking it may be the issue but it wasn't. the wires from the splice to the plug are a different color that the once coming from elsewhere on the harness to the splice. It appears the plug its self or the harness wires from the central location to the splice are from different model or year mopar but the fog light still takes the same bulb as the one on the other side and the bulbs work because I tried them on the other side. Being that I have power on the driver fog light could a guy run two new wires from there to the passenger side? Is that how it works from the factory or am I thinking wrong on this one? Where is the wire hub for this set of lights? Could I trace it back and just splice it out closer to where it works and run new over to passenger side?
Im open to any wiring diagrams or insight that you all can provide to help me figure this out. The blinker is less of an issue since the larger turn signal on that side works it just doesn't alternate with the little marker light like the driver side. An annoyance but not life ending. The fog light on the other hand I would really like to figure out and use if able. I live out in the country and they come in handy for deer, bad weather etc. thanks a bunch gang!
