CJ brake light update

That sounds like the wires on the pigtail are reversed on one if it was a bulb with a pigtail. The wrong 'filament' is lighting up.

OK, I knew about the LED's. You have two 'sets' in there right, one brighter than the other. If those wires are OK and one side isn't reversed feeding power to the wrong 'filament' or LED 'set' which can cause that, then you are screaming ground theft.

That bar in the old one was a ground to the column? If so, then the wires in that place would likely need a ground tag.

Neighbour came over, told me to turn on arking lights, as soon as I did he said the wires are reversed on drivers side, just like you said, haven't switched them yet, will try tomorrow and let you know. He also looked at that little strap thing I was talking about, said it looks like the switch broke and someone just used a little peice of tin and 2 screws to hold it together, and not a ground. And that the 2 extra wires are for YJ, ( same switch ) for high beam.

Well just like you thought, wires swapped, boy I've had my jeep for about

5-6 years, brake lights have never worked properly, signals iffy, sure nice to have all ligts working, broke down and ordered a windsheild washer pump today, going to be like a cadilac.

Thanks for the update.

I have been running those little inline washer pumps CT sells for years now, am on my second one even.

What does an OEM one set you back?

$40.00 at Napa, my bottle has the original one on it, and then another someone put on, probably like yours, inline, niether one works, so will try the new OEM. How is your swap coming, have you started? I just went around with some seam sealer today on mine, now ready for paint, going on holidays next week, so will do it when I get back, will post some pics when done.

The aftermarket has a rectangular wiper tank that fits most anywhere with a pump built into the bottom. I think the last one I bought cost $10.00 or so at J. C. Whitney. OEM is of course best for looks, but you can't beat ten bucks for something like this.
