Like many others, my multi-function switch had begun to act up. My fog lights were not turning on by themselves, but if I was driving with the lights on and hit a good bump, I would get a long series of warning beeps. No engine light or anything else, just 10+ beeps. The first time it happened was a little wild looking for the reason for the noise, but I researched here and found how this is a problem with our turn switch, its connector, or both.

I recently figured out I could cancel the beeping if I lifted the turn signal like I was about to make a right turn. However, not wanting to...

I despise that multi-function turn signal/lights stalk. I wouldn't have a 2001+ model just because of that.

I have always hated those things, but unfortunately they're on everything made in the last 30+ years with a very few exceptions. I always preferred the pull out light switch, and the floor mounted dimmer switch.
When I had my YJ, the dimmer was on the MFS, but it had a connector at the base of the steering column that could be taken apart. I did that and mounted my own floor dimmer on it. If it wouldn't take major rewiring, I'd do it to my TJ.

Mine is an 04 and I just put this one in a few months ago. It’s been good so far. I got it from Rock Auto.

The 1997 - 2000 Jeep TJ had a pull-out headlight knob and a separate rocker switch for the fog lights.

But still had the dimmer on the stalk.

It's a bit different than most, though. Instead of it "toggling" like others do, you push it out for the high beams and it stays there until you pull it back for the low beams.

But yeah, I still prefer the floor dimmer switch as well.

I am also not a fan of the wipers on any type of stalk. I think they should have had those on a knob on the right side of the steering column instead.
