Hey guys, I'm probably posting in the wrong sub-forum so forgive me. But my 98 XJ has been in an accident. I'm slowly getting back to normal. But I tried to start it today to move it into the garage, I put the key in the ignition no dash lights came on at all. It won't turn over, but when I checked the battery it's perfect. So I checked the fuses and relays and they all look in order. Anybody have any idea what I should look at next?
Thanks for the help!

How was it wrecked? That might help a little I flipped mine on its side back in May and I had to drain all the oil new spark plugs and a solenoid. You might have a main ground loose somewhere if you have nothing coming on...

I rear ended someone, damage wasn't all to bad. Just needs front end work and a radiator replacement

Hmmm sounds like you knocked somthing loose. If you could get a few pictures up that would be cool, but just rember it's a jeep they never stop on a dime, tbh I have rear ended 2 people not bad but it always seems to knock my grounds around, hope your alright and stay safe out there man.



That's my worst...

I have a feeling CCKen will be in here to clean house with electrical diagrams and share more of his knowledge with us.

I'm going to say check your fusible link and make sure it doesn't have a break in it somewhere.

That's what it looks like now I just got the window finally put in today

Well I figured out the problem. The plates within the battery are damaged, therefore I'm not getting any power at all from it. Thanks you everyone for the help! I'm hoping a new battery fixes the problem, I'll be sure to post on here when I do get the new battery in. And as far as my front end, it's my excuse to buy a nice bumper rather than going back to stock haha.

well that's a pretty simple fix in the grand scheme of things! Good luck bud!
