    Hello Peggy, welcome to Jeeps.net.

    What year is the vehicle?
    Regular Cherokee or Grand Cherokee?

    My current problem started with my headlights flashing from regular on to very dim. I replaced that switch. It did not fix the problem. I had to use my high beam to drive. Then that switch failed and my turn signal and 4 ways quit and I had to hold the switch on to have the high beam. Replaced that switch Sunday. Everything appeared to be working. Monday morning back to using high beam for light. Monday afternoon I had to hold the high beam switch on the entire drive home from work. Any ideas would be appreciated

    Looks like it comes out of the headlight dimmer switch (marked 14VT/WT) and goes to the headlights, likely the low beams.
    Can you push it back in there? May have to take a very small screw driver or something of the like and push down in there to help seat the connector into the plug.
