FUSE LOCATION '74 CJ-5

for what its worth...`75 CJ-5, has a circuit breaker inside the headlight switch...Gene

Try the dimmer switch on the floor board. If it comes unplugged or goes bad you loose headlights. (and calm down and stop yelling!)

Haynes makes a great CJ manual. The wiring diagrams are well done in it.

You have a fuse link wire off the starter solenoid for the headlight circuit that can wear out and blow. You have a floor dimmer switch that up and dies 'regularly' if it gets damp (I got 4 years out of my last one) and you have a breaker inside the light switch that can pop but that usually means intermittent lights if popped.

Then the most common of all is you just have 2 burned out lights..... When one burns you don't notice in the city, when the second one burns, you got no lights suddenly....

Oh and you don't have to 'SHOUT' at us either..... ;-)

Good for you. You should keep an eye on it though, and consider packing the connector full of bulb grease one you get it nice and clean. My `79's connector once got hot enough to smoke and melted the insulation on a couple inches of the cable. Rust is the enemy.
