Rear dome/courtesy light

[Ifraaz]

Doesn't turn on. Heard some harnesses were never plugged in. Where do they plug in?

Who'd you hear that from?

Thread here on this forum. I bought a used 2018. Rear one doesn't come on. Heard new units won't fix issue. Issue is with harness not being plugged in!

@Ifraaz
Did you ever get the rear dome light issue resolved? Same issue here.

Sorry no. Haven't had the time to. Please update here if you do!

Rear cargo compartment overhead light issue found and fixed. A connector was not plugged in completly at the factory and had a bent pin. A scan of all the modules showed mic 3 and mic 4 not working which are also located in the rear roll bar with the cargo light.

The unplugged connector with the bent pin was located at the base of the passenger side rear roll bar by the seatbelt retractor just below the plastic tub surround. Hope this helps someone else.

Oh wow. Thank you so much. Any pics of the bent pin?

?Second one up from the bottom. Just enough that it kept the connectors from seating fully.

Any tutorials out there that show how to gain access to this?

Just use a non marring pry tool and start at the top. It will start 'popping' off. It's easier if you remove the little D ring plate on the cargo floor close by. You will run into it when you start prying the side panel off.

I pulled straight up on the small plate that the seatbelt runs through in order to unlock the two big plastic pieces from each other. Then pulled the two big halves apart right at the roll bar just enough to get access to the plug as seen in the photo. One of those white retainers popped off, so i did have to go fishing for it.

Dragonegg's suggestion of removing the floor tie downs first and pulling the the big half that houses the subwoofer might be a better route. There is one screw that I recall just inside the passenger door opening below the rail that might need to be removed also if you are going to pull the whole thing apart.
Not home with the Jeep at the moment otherwise I'd send some more pics. Good luck.

Great. My yellow wire is actually disconnected from the plug!

 

[Ifraaz]

Anyone know where the harness plugs into? Not the one from the light to the connector but from the connector to where ever it goes? And the part number for it? Thank you

 

[Ifraaz]

Just realized mine only has a black and a yellow wire. 2018 JLUR. Will it be OK to just splice the 2 yellow wires together and bypass the harness? The black wires are fine.

 

[Ifraaz]

Fixed!
