"Lights on" chime not working (97 TJ - doors ON)

LOL!

'Pull' the fuse out...

You put the fuse 'in' to defeat the door switch and chime. ;-)

the fuse must be IN for chime to work LOL MIKE was wrong... make sure the door pins are in place... the previous owner could have unplugged them and taken them out...

Hmmm, I thought you 'added' the fuse to #4 or the auto tranny slot to defeat the neutral switch and door lights. One of Bill 'dyslexic' moments maybe.. ;-)

Well, wouldn't be the first time I was mistaken...

If so, then I have seen a few folks post about removing the chime itself off the dash circuit board as well as messing with the door switches.

you do ADD for tranny...that is correct... but remove for lights

Yes.

Have you looked at the Door Switch to see if somebody unplugged it?

That's backwards Mike. Pull the fuse to defeat the circuit, insert the fuse to enable it.

My guess is that the PO unplugged the door switch once, and never plugged it back in again.

I was thinking tranny, you add a fuse into the auto slot to defeat the neutral switch.

Ok, that is opposite, I was thinking tranny fuse to defeat the neutral switch.

I'm stumped. I checked the door jam switches on both sides and they're both plugged in and don't appear to have been modified in any way. Also, the #4 10A fuse is new. Any other ideas on why the "lights on", "keys in" reminders and the floor lights w/doors open are not working?

Remove the bell? I'm trying to figure out why it is not working, not trying to disable it.

Who did you buy the Jeep from? Maybe he is one of the folks that posted about removing the chime from the circuit board? Some people hate those chimes....

Do the door switches actually work to turn the lights on?

The door switches do not work to turn the lights on but the lights work when turned on manually using the knob on the dash.

Ok, now we are getting somewhere if you are replying to my post??

You will need to follow the wiring for the switches and find out where they have been unplugged or cut. Some folks get fancy and use the wiring diagram to disable things.

Will your engine also start in gear with the clutch up?

It's not working because somebody already removed it.

If you're in British Columbia...it's called a Marijuana moment! ;)

Before you start tracing wires, you could do a simple test and unplug the wires from the switch on the door, and short them together. Can't remember if it is one or two, if only one, you ground it. If that makes the light work, or the chime go off with lights on, then it is a bad switch. Otherwise, start tracing.
