Question
Roland, I appreciated your prompt reply s; been away and just got back to where I could re-read your answers for follow-up. I tried to add to answer and ended up here when I got into the wrong portion of the Q/A session.
The dimmer part of the switch that I unplug for Trbl/St'g is the wheel switch next to the headlight switch. It does seem to add to the time that the headlights blink on/off when the headlight sw is turned off. Right now, it is not acting up. The head, park, tail & interior lights come on when the H/L sw is on and anything like door open, key turned on or door unlocked. The interior lights time out sooner than the ext. lights.
YES, I will most gladly reimburse you for the copies. 3630 S. Willow Water Lane Spfd., MO. 65809

Thanks again,
Rich

Answer
Hi Rich,
I will copy about 9 pages and mail them today. If you will be so kind as to send me back three 44-cent stamps to cover my costs I would appreciate that. Because the specific symptom you describe is not listed in the manual, and because it is intermittent, I still suspect the flasher. But perhaps with these materials you will find a wiring issue.

PS Please 'rate' this answer, and if you like also rate my previous answers, particularly notice the question about a nomination of me to be 'volunteer of the month'. This is the last day of May and I am in a tight race for that recognition. Thank you.

Expertise

I specialize in Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth cars, minivans, and SUV's for the model years 1982-2008 based upon my 50-year DIY experience, factory shop manuals and wiring diagrams. I offer fast repair advice to help you minimize repair costs by helping you diagnose and do it yourself. Problems with electronically controlled engines and transmissions as well as body wiring problems are my specialty.

I take questions one at a time between 8am and 10pm CT and attempt to answer within 20 minutes. "Maxed Out" means I am answering another question of otherwise busy, so try again later.

There are answers on file to more than sixteen thousand Chrysler questions at your finger tips: put a few key words in the "find" box (above) or click on "view past answers" for a chronological list of my q and a's. Don't use "Add to this answer" if you still have a question...ask it. As to trucks and jeeps I only have manuals for the '04-'06 model years.
