Hi all,
I know there HAS to be a thread somewhere on the forum in regards to my problem, but I spent the last couple hours looking and searching. I have found quite a few posts but none that would actually help me out.. Here goes:
2000XLT - V8-AWD
My aux. lamps don't work anymore. They were until last night on my way back from work. So of course I started doing the basic trouble shooting, such as checking fuses, switch is on? yes, checked bulbs? Good. Now, I know of two fuse boxes, the one on the side on drivers side, and the one under the hood next to be brake booster. According to the users manual, all fuses are OK. When I turn my lights on, my switch will light on telling me the lights are on, but they aren't, which I'm suspecting a burnt relay.
So that's what my problem is: Where is that damned relay? After reading a whole bunch of stuff on here, I learned that there's a relay box under the dash next to the gas pedal, but according to the descriptions I found with that info, the aux. lamp relay isn't located there. . .
I'm running out of ideas, anyone can help me? Someone wrote on here there was another fuse box under the batteri? I can't see it on my X, perhaps I have to totally remove the batteri? I also noticed a narrow plastic box where a bunch of wires are going into under the airfilter box area, very narrow between the engine and the frame almost, would that be where my holygrail is?
All help is much appreciated!
