Hi Folks,
As anyone experienced problems with the factory headlamp/dimmer switch assembly? My head lamps appears to switch on and off if the knob jiggles. I think it's a bad contact. I sprayed electrical contact cleaning inside, but it didn't help.
The assembly removes, but disassembly doesn't appear possible (a sealed plastic molded unit). Has anyone taken this apart or fixed?
Jeep wants $75 for a new assmebly!
Thanks, Nick

Dunno, but try
I got mine at Autozone and it was the exact same switch as came out of my Jeep down to the initials handwritten on the inspection tag sticker.

I had tried to look up his year/model and got the result above.
Thanks Folks.
When I followed your link to AutoZone's web site and I entered all the necessary info the page came back as follows:
They're likely just out of stock, that's where I bought mine from. The little note for that comment decoded to either not available or out of stock.

The interesting thing about those folks is they are a dealership. Just one that doesn't believe in trying to make a killing on parts.
That's why I recommend them to folks.

I picked one up here in FL at the local Advance Auto Parts today. Cost me all of $16.41 & from looking at the old one under the dash, it's almost exact. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get to it & install it.
There is a hole or pin you push in from the back, then the shaft will pull out. Then take a large phillips screwdriver (#3) and it will fit in the nut in the front of the switch.
Thanks for the help! Having been married to a car dealer tech for 20 years, I usually end up figuring it out. I just couldn't figure how to get the shaft out. Thanks again.
