See my profile, Imma Jam-Up CJ Guy

I do not know your rig much,

On a CJ, your symptoms are exactly the same as a BAD Dimmer switch....Or a bad connection to the dimmer switch!

Only difference in our rigs is, My dimmer is floor mounted.......yours is not!

If you investigate your connection, look for BURNT or LOOSE, Male or female connectors. (dimmer or its connector.

Once, on my CJ, I found that the FEMALES in the "Connector", were pushed further back in the connector, than where they are intented to be.

They were barely making contact!

Maybe that will help,

Respond with good news,
