Light fixture problem?

Question

Hi folks. I have a 97 TJ and I report before that the light under the hood won't come on. After checking the fuse of the light bulb and the fuse box, I decide to take a closer look:

snipped-for-privacy@sbcglobal.net/ jeep_photo.html Looking at the socket area, I don't see anything on the coil area that will touch the tip of the light bulb to create a connection. Also, which part is the mercury switch? I test the light bulb, it is good but can someone tell me if I am missing a part? Can someone please tell me how this whole light thing work? Thanks in advance.

Hi lynn,     It's upside-down, it looks like if you swivel it around you won'thave room for the wiring before it hits the cowl, maybe have findanother position for it.         God Bless America, ßill O|||||||Omailto:      wrote:

Thanks for the reply.  I don't quite understand, does it mean I am missing somewiring between the socket (where the light bulb) and the coil area?"L.W.(ßill) Hughes III" wrote:

Well, the mercury switch appears to be missing, which of course, itwon't work without:

Thank you!!!  Although it doesn't look exactly like my device, It is still veryclear.  I just don't know how the mercury switch can fall off the coil area. Anyway,I will order the part from Jeep this week.  Thanks again, you are great!!!!"L.W.(ßill) Hughes III" wrote:
