Hello there. my 98' Cherokee Ltd. 4.0 with only 96,000+ miles, bought from one-owner 3 months ago. gauges and heat worked after leaving work last eve (Boston winter/ 5 degrees fahrenheit) but when i parked and ran to do an errand and came back to leave, it started but first strange thing was the key was harder to turn in the ignition, then i realize the heat-fan won't turn on (can feel trickle out the vents) and radio, turn-signals,etc won't work. I'm gonna check fuses but has anyone experienced this? and found the remedy?

 

Ignition switch.

 

roger that. thank u.
