#1 of 4 95 Jeep Problem Electrical by ancobaca Apr 03, 2009 (8:48 am)
Ok I have a dilema. My wifes jeep is a 95 jeep orvis. One night when we turned on the overhead light for the rear seat the radio shut off, and the little panel which shows picture of the vehicle would blink. The clock has always gone out on occasion for no apparent reason. Anyhow as soon as you open the door there is a ticking sound coming from passenger side dash. As soon as door is shut ticking stops. The radio is still out, and the heater wont kick on unless the door is shut. If you open the door the heater shuts off. I checked a few minutes ago and found the ticking to come from a relay that was under the glove compartment. I took out a few screws from glove compartment and saw a block with what looks like some relays. On the relay is 56006709 under that is 50732 and then a # under that that is pressed in probally for production #. When I take the relay out the ticking stops but then so does my lights up above. So I am wondering what this relay is and could that relay cause all this problems if it was blown. I have googled it all over and did find a couple things but it doesn't specifically say what it is. It has 5 prongs with the numbers next to each one as 30 85 87a 86 28...any help would be appreciated. My wife is driving me nuts, because "I turned the light on like she asked and caused this whole mess, its all MY fault" lol Replies to this message: lhoudin (May 14, 2009 8:48 am) jhtjr (Sep 14, 2009 9:53 am)

Replying to: ancobaca (Apr 03, 2009 8:48 am) I have a very similar problem right now in my 1998 Cherokee.   In my case, it involves the fan continuing to run after I've parked and shut off the engine. I have to pop the hood, walk around and literally smack the plastic fuse box under the hood.   The culprit in my case is the same type of relay you mentioned. I'm staring at one right now, numbered 56006709 50732. Sometimes relays fail open, sometimes they fail closed. In this case, my fan relay sticks closed sometimes.   Time to replace it with a new relay. I'm not sure how difficult that will be, to find an identical part, but will be calling around to local auto parts stores.

For a couple of weeks my check engine light would come on then go off. Two days ago all my instrument panel gauges including the speedometer began jumping around and falling to zero. It did this several times then turned to normal. My turn signals would not work and my headlights were dim. I parked it and the engine began cutting out. I shut it down and it would not start. Apparent low battery. I took battery home and charged it. After installing battery I drove it home. All was normal except the voltage meter was low and Check Engine light was on. I removed the alternator and had it tested. It checked normal. Battery seems OK. What should I check now? Please all the ideas I can get.
