93 cherokee No running lights
93 cherokee i have no dash lights or running lights. i replaced two burnt out fuses #5 and # 15 and still nothing. so i un plugged and tested for power at the switch. i had power so i jumped 12v across the plug to the tail lights and the lights come on. this made me think it was the switch. i replaced the switch plugged it in and the same thing, no tail lights. the brake lights work. the headlights come on but i have no parking lights, tail lights or dash lights. i removed the rear lenses and inspected the bulbs, which are fine. i replaced the relay under the drivers side knee panel that clicks when the switch is pulled and still no luck. any help would be greatly appreciated. all fuses are tested with a voltmeter and are functioning. im stumped. Thanks - nathan

I don't have diagrams with me at the moment but that would greatly help you.
You need to find out what supplies the power and trace it from the beginning.

Looks like it's a straight shot from the headlight switch to the lights in question.
You've already diagnosed that the wiring from the switch to the lighting is good. You just need to figure out why you're not getting power out of the switch.
I'd guess there's a separate supply for the lighting in the headlight switch.

Look at the headlight switch diagram at the top right.
Check for 12 voltage on "B2".
Then, with the switch ON, check for voltage at "R"
Also, check for actual voltage ON fuse 15 in the fuse panel.
