MY WRANGLER HEADLIGHTS STOPED WORKING ONE MORNING. TURN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH ON FOR THEM TO FLICKER ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES OVER 5 SECONDS THEN THEY STAY OFF ALL TOGETHER. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SCANNED IT TOLD ME IT WAS SHOWING THESE 4 CODES. B162F-RIGHT LOW BEAM CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW B162C-LEFT LOW BEAM CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH B162B-LEFT LOW BEAM CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW B1630-RIGHT LOW BEAM CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH THEY CHECKED OVER EVERYTHING AND SAID THAT IT WAS A FAULTY TIPM.
WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AT NIGHT, HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OUT. THEY REMAIN OUT FOR OVER 5 SECONDS, MAY COME BACK ON JUST TO GO OUT AGAIN. IN OTHER INSTANCES SINCE STARTED, HEADLIGHT BEHAVIOR WILL BECOME SUDDENLY ERRATIC, ONE LIGHT WILL GO OUT WHILE OTHER REMAINS ON, OR BOTH MAY GO OUT. WHEN THIS EMERGENCY CONDITION OCCURS, HIGH BEAMS OR FOG LIGHTS MUST BE ACTIVATED TO MAINTAIN VISIBILITY, AND CONTROL OF VEHICLE. SINCE FIRST OCCURRENCE BOTH BULBS HAVE BEEN CHANGED BUT INCIDENTS CONTINUED TO OCCUR. HEADLIGHTS ARE STOCK BULBS. *TT

BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. STOP LAMP SWITCH FELL OFF MOUNTING BRACKET AND THE LIGHTS WERE ALWAYS ON. METHOD OF HOLDING SWITCH TO BRACKET WAS INSUFFICIENT TO HOLD THE WEIGHT OF THE SWITCH TO THE BRACKET. A NEW MOUNT WAS MADE TO HOLD THE SWITCH IN PLACE, USING THE OLD SWITCH. *TR
