Greetings everyone. New Jeep owner and need of a little help. I have scoured the forum on this but still not sure. I just bought a 2004 X 2dr. When doing the test drive I found that when turning the left signal on, the left signal light came on solid and there was a buzzing noise. My wife noted that the left brake light was not working but the tail light was on. I figured it was just a bulb. Not a deal breaker and no other issues so I bought the Jeep.
Upon further inspection at home I found that the front left side marker light was broken. The plastic at the socket that locks into the housing was broken and the bulb was damaged. I took the bulb out and tried everything out. Now the buzz sound was gone but there is no left signal at all and no left brake light. The rear tail light comes on but no brake light. There is no light or anything for the left signal. Activating the hazard switch gives me flashing right side lights but nothing on the left.
Putting a voltage meter on the side marker light socket gets me the following:
Ignition off, parking lights turned on causes the high beam indicator to flash and I get 11.14 volts at the socket.
Ignition on, left signal activated, voltage to the marker light drops to 6v and no left turn signal, not even the left signal indicator. No left brake light when press on the brakes.
Ignition on, parking lights on, 11v to the side marker light socket, rear left tail light on. Activating the left turn signal causes the volts on the marker light socket to drop to 6v and there is no left signal, not even the left signal indicator or buzzing. No left brake light.
Everything on the right side works likes its supposed to and the headlights work properly.
Am I looking at the multi function switch as the main culprit or do I need to do some more searching?
