    97-FZJ80 BRAKE/TAIL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK,SIGNALS/REV DO WORK

    Definitely caused by water as the lights would only short out when driving in the rain and not when parked in the rain no matter how hard it rained.

    97-FZJ80 BRAKE/TAIL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK,SIGNALS/REV DO WORK

    The fire was definitely caused by water kicked into the rear quarter from the tires due to lack of that plug and me removing the factory bumper corners as it would only short out when I drove in the rain (not when parked no matter how hard it rained.) As for the exhaust pipe, it's on the...

    Outstanding work Detective. You just saved me $280. + I've been having a hard time with Zack over at cruiser parts.net. Now I can cancel the remainder of my order.

    Thank you, retrofive. I removed the splash guards and factory bumper to prepare for an aftermarket steel bumper (but still can not decide on slee or 4x4Labs) therefore leaving these holes (one on each side) uncovered. This can also happen to anyone who drives in deep water or mud.

The water caused an electrical fire with the...

    Parsnip and inkpot, Thank you both for the input. I unplugged trailer light harness adapter box but the issue persists. I have discovered that the vehicle is taking in water from the rear passenger side door. I also cleared the water channels under the sunroof. I removed all panels from the...

    97-FZJ80 BRAKE/TAIL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK,SIGNALS/REV DO WORK

    I have recently had some issues with my rear lights shorting out whenever driving in the rain (none while parked in the rain). The front and rear driver's side turn signal would stay on and brake lights and other signals would not work. a few days later all lights would work fine. I solved that...
