Title: Relay for YJ gauge lights...
Post by: Clem on May 31, 2009, 10:08:37 PM

Anyone have details on the relay in the dash of a YJ? Normally open or normally closed? It is a common relay. I am guessing that one could be had at Radio Shack...

Or how about a part number?

Thanks guys!

If you pull the part in question, you may find a part number on it.  Some electrical parts have small schematics on the case.  I took a quick look at my FSM for '95 YJ and did not see any relays in the instrumentation circuit wire diagrams.

What year YJ are you working on?

1995... It's a late YJ too.

 I finally figured out what was going on. There was a broken wire about 10 inches from the fuse block making intermittent contact.  :brick:
Now, I am looking for an alternator.  :brick: When it rains, it pours... Going with at least the 136 amp one out of the 98 Grand. I'll be checking with a few local alternator/automotive electrical shops today.

Thanks for looking!

Check eBay as well; I found mine there for a good price...

I scored a 136 amp 98 Grand alternator for $40! With everything on as high, fast, loud, and as bright as it can get, I have 14.2 volts continuously now...

Thanks to Jeffy, the head nacho! His contributions here are great. I used the alternator page that he has here.  :beers:
