rear tailgate switch, rear wiper, and autotrans switch

[Minesthechevy]

Hi, looking for a bit of indulgence here..

someone herein posted that <<I had the same problem with my KJ so I pulled off the tailgate cover so I could get a better look at the locking mechanism.
When you're looking at the locking mechanism from inside the tailgate cover side you will see 2 wiring plugs attached. The one on the left only controls the letting go of the liftglass.
The one on the right plugs directly into the microswitch/sensor that is causing the interior lights to stay on and glass open to display on the dash. Disconnect the plug and underneath where you disconnected it you will see a T15 screw holding the microswitch/sensor to the whole locking mechanism. Undo the screw and you can now replace the microswitch.
I only disabled my switch for the moment by removing the little blue rubber knob which was already half hanging>>

Can some kind person give me the part number for the microswitch/sensor please - or any reference to an identical part?

Secondly, there is a microswitch of some sort on the autobox which sends a signal to the dash that says 'part time'. Apparently this is a usual failure. Can someone give me the part number for this microswitch please?

Thirdly, my rear wiper is U/S - can anyone give me a lead for a GOOD pattern replacement.

TIA

Here is the transfer case switch -

Btw - google has a great search if you just add site:jeepkj.com to the terms you want - much better than the built in one here.

Thank you, DadOSix, very informative.

I found this on Amazon, can someone confirm it looks like the right one please?

THe number matches the mopar website. Should be a fit -
Cautions - make sure it comes with seal / oring that fits over the threaded part to seal the switch to the housing -

Also - sometimes - these non-mopar switches are a bit sketchy. Jeeps overall are finicky electrical messes and for major sensors, we usually recommend OEM (mopar) parts - think engine sensors, coils, MAF / CAM / Crank
THis should be a good match to get you going.

Again, thanks for the info; a problem is that I'm in That France, and shipping costs may be prohibitive. I'll see if it's viable.

Later - yes, as I thought, it will only let me put the USA as my country, so I can't even see how much it would be to ship.

I guess I'll be taking a punt on the non-OEM jobbie that I found above.

No worries - just pointing out that some electrical bits are more 'mission critical' than others. You should be fine with this.
