Here's what I know: The light, when it does not work will not respond to the roller switch in the dash or to either open door. When it does work, it works for all. No other electrical function in the vehicle fails to operate, including 4x4 activation. This is a 4.0 XLT without power windows or locks.
What I think I know: This seems to be a failure in the Battery Saver Relay. This relay is part of the Smart Junction Box. Said SJB is masquerading as a fuse panel behind the passenger kick-panel. Please correct anything I've screwed up here.
Is the relay replaceable? Every time I believe I've gained some understanding about this item, it turns out I'm looking at the wrong year-model. I've seen front-and-rear pictures of the SJB and saw nothing I recognize, but perhaps it's internal.
I'm getting ready to add aftermarket cruise control and a new stereo, and I don't want to introduce new electrical components into a system that is not 100%.
Thank you for help!
