Guess I didn't do enough research. .. I'm seeing now all the bad and shot duds post out there ..Spicer seems to be the way to go? Thank you for the advise, I guess I jumped the gun on this one.I figure you installed the Synergy steering setup prior to reading
What is the best steering for my Jeep Wrangler TJ?
But please, read up on Synergy ball joints in the event you are planning on using those. You'll be glad you did.
Gave mine a front end alignment... apparently the previous owner thought "toe out" was a good idea.Let's here what you've done to your TJ today!
I'll start by saying I gave her the biggest, most thorough cleaning possible!
What? The speedometer needle was hitting the wires? Happens all the time!Today i installed two little white 'keepers' above the TC. The wires weee a mess. The original keepees were gone of course.
So I got a 2 pack of a generic GM plastic keeper doo dad. The white keeper doo dads are at the 9 and 1 o'clock positions.
Now the wiring is where it should be and get this..
I cant explain how this happened but this little 30 minute PM absolutely fixed the last bit of speedometer needle flutter.

What fenders are those? I like the look of the flat fender.Not just today but over the past few days. MCE fenders with lights, new Synergy 4" springs to replace MetalCloak 3.5" springs, OME long travel shocks to replace Bilstein 5160s, new 15x8 wheels, 35" BFG M/T, weld on front LCA skids, c-gussets and Clayton rear lower shock mounts, HD ball joints, 4.88 gears, Ten-Factory shafts front and rear, UCF 3/8" alum TC skid, UCF 1/4" alum GT skid. Upcoming 1" MML to fix some fan shroud rubbing and either Currie or Synergy HD steering system. Then it will be ready for Rubicon and Moab trips next year.

I bet it's a failed relay or it maybe just shorted somewhere, look further and investigate. I guess its not the fuse or switch. You don't want to lose the headlight while in the middle of the mountain roads at night....no lights . (headlights and dash lights) ...its always my lights.... switch or fuse....
It made a fizz and pop noise before they died.(thought I smelt smoke)...I wonder where the relay is for those lights...under the bonnet im guessingI bet it's a failed relay or it maybe just shorted somewhere, look further and investigate.

see this is why I love this forum...Going to have to go digging tomorrow now haha...Thanks....Its almost 1.30 am time for bed.....Zzzzzzzz1.) As was typically the connectors used are not sealed and the contacts begin to oxidize and over time, the spark damages the contact.
2.) There is also mechanical wear in the headlight relay that, if the stalk is positioned at a particular point, both the low and high beams are "ON" at the same time when you turn the switch. This results in twice the current flowing through the connector than should be.
3.) If you have a halogen head light, power will be compounded. Some are rated at a higher watts than the OEM. More current than the system was originally designed for.
So my friend, it is the relay first you have to worry about
Treated to my frame. Spent hours getting the rust from inside the middle frame section, touched up black frame paint then fluid film over and all inside.
