Question 98 cherokee radio and windshield wipers won't work
About 40% of the time I start my 1998 cherokee 4.0 the windsheild wipers and radio will not work. The other 60% of the time everything works fine. The wipers and radio seem to be the only things that are effected. Has anybody got any help for me?
