As with any Renix era Jeep my first thought would br fuses which you have checked my second thought and should have been my first is GROUNDS. The grounds on a Renix jeep is their downfall. Check all that you can find and look at the wiring diagram mfor others and trace them all down. Try adding seperate grounds for each of these appliances and see if that will bring them back to life.
Good luck tmann.

does your radio and fan work? I had a simalar prob. with mine and it ended up being a short in my ignition switch but I could still start the engine and drive. you can reach up under the dash and disconnect two plug and look at them and see if there is any thing wrong. one of mine was melted.

Good thought Tucker. Everything that works just with the key on runs through the ignition switch.

Replace the ignition switch (electrical box at bottom of column) and actuator rod. If your ignition key is worn significantly, might as well replace the tumbler portion while your at it.
