Cherokee reversing lights

Well, I'd try the fuse, the reversing selector switch and the wiring. For the "rear wheel carrier" do you mean a bumper mounted one ? If you are after aftermarket stuff, try Lighthouse Jeep

, EDM or Specialist Leisure . The latter are expensive.If you are looking to import from the US try . Shipping ischeapest if you can find someone that will ship BAX Global. Dave Milne, Scotland

You have the common problem of the neutral start safety switch contacts failing, the link at the bottom will show you how to go about fixing the problem.

Get out the old cheap copy of Haynes and look in the wiring diagram section, it has a really good schematic of the switch wires.

Look on the rear passenger side of the fire wall, right around the tranny dip stick, you should have one maybe two harnesses running down towards the underside, one of these harnesses will have 5-6 wires and a rectangular connector. If you have the Haynes or any other schematic of the system (or a valid email, will send) you can match up the colour code.

If you want to temporarily bypass the switch for addition trouble shooting and short term use of vehicle (i.e. to use the Jeep to run and buy beer for the rest of the fix) I would suggest doing all bypassing on the switch side of the before mentioned connector, as a new switch (or replacement from a wrecker) will have the harness.

At about $350 cdn ($300 usd) I don't think you really want to buy one from the stealership, so read this and have fun.

One thing to think about is that spare tire carriers in the U.S. open towards the right. That is away from traffic and down hill, on most crowned roads. Gravity then helps keep them open, so they don't get in the way when you open the lift gate. However, you folks drive on the wrong side of the road, and a U.S. spare tire carrier is going to open the wrong way for you, into traffic and up hill.

I bet they will make them rhd on request though.
