Default 1998 Cherokee Limited

Good Morning! After a few years of sitting idle and wasting away, I have gotten my 1998 Limited back up and running. New Alt, Belt, Fluid Changes, and shes back running like a champ....mechanically. Electrical is another issue.

No turn signals even though the lights work as parking lights and emergency flashers.
No heater/AC fan.
Driver side electric seat not working.
Radio Amp is shot (I think)
Rear wiper and defogger not functioning.

Overhead console and most everything else works. Took out all fuses and checked them both under the hood and in cab fuseblock on passenger kicker panel. Fuses all checked out.

Any ideas? I'm figuring the turn signal issue can be resolved with a new flasher. Any ideas would be appreciated. It has sat through a lot of rainy days over the years and I just wonder if the moisture has taken it's toil.

Thanks for any help in advance and I look forward to being a member here.

for the rear defroster look at the wire bundle that goes through the body panel and into the rear hatch. the wire tend to break there for opening and closing the hatch. Mine did. I added some jumpers between the body and hatch and have not had a problem since.
As for the blinkers check the flasher but also check the switch the contacts could have some corrosion on them.

Where was your Jeep parked for those years? Could rats get to the wiring? Just a thought.
