First off, please turn off your caps lock.

I don't mean that in a rude way, but there is no reason to be typing in all caps. It's seriously stressful on the eyes, I'm sure almost everyone will agree.

Anyhow, your issue is the parking lights. Remove the LED bulbs from the parking lights on the front fenders and everything will work fine. Those parking lights have a floating ground and won't play well with an LED bulb. There is a way to get around that, but it takes some electrical knowledge, and I'm not exactly sure what the fix is. I believe @cr0sh figured it out.

But it's easier to just remove those LED bulbs in the fender flare parking lights and replace them with an incandescent, it will solve all your issues.

Also, just to clarify, I'm not calling you out on the caps lock thing to be a dick, so please don't take it that way (y)
 
Also "all caps" historically on the internet means your shouting. But no big. I get where your at. :) Technology can be a pain even for those that know it somewhat. I'd love to never have to learn a new menu ever again. Or a new version of Windows. lol.

Hope Chris solved your problem. He's the guy in charge here. But more than that he knows a shitload about Jeeps. Removing those leds and only leaving incandescents in those two front flare lights. Will fix your problem. There's another way of completely rewiring that circuit. But it's a bit of a pain. Easier to just swap them back.

But if your intent on rewiring it. Let me know. And I'll help you find the instructions here on the forum.
 
hey Chris thanks for info i switch back to stock front lights got everything working but the emergency flashers any ideals on that ? we have to have them in va for inspection thanks a bunch
have a BLESSED day
 
Hey guys. Similar issue, however everything works with marker lights removed except flasher buzzes. With incodescent lights installed, turn signals flash together. Maybe need a higher quality flasher? Went kinda cheap on Amazon.
 
You need to Novita LM470 flasher, can be bought at AutoZone for about $30-$35, will handle a full set of LEDs in an old Jeep. About to put on into my XJ as well.
 
So I have the novita flasher, same issue all lights flash together. Only difference is my park lights on fender flares aren't connected at all. Where do they plug in at?

To the plug that should be somewhere either in your fender flare or tucked back into the fender.

Hard to say what your previous owner did with them but you're gonna need to start looking.
 
Hey Wildman, do know where that wiring schematic is located? I didn't see it with lamps in the service manual. Those are all awesome resources by the way.

You have to download your years PDF file first.

Then it's in the Chapter 8W which is wiring.

Chapter 8J is Turn Signals & Hazards
