So the dash lights are out, my shifter lights are out. What is wrong!?
its a 1994 i6 ho auto regular edition no power options.
My Tail lights work, that special 5a fuse is just replaced.
I cannot figure this out! please help me as i am going nuts solving this problem! My last problem to make sure my jeep is 100% okay!

 

Anybody?

 

have you checked your fuses ill check my fsm and report back

 

Yes i have. Thanks. anything else you suggest?

 

ok check these fuses 7, 8, 9 the are in your drivers side cabin fuses

7 - 10 Amp Parking Lights, Headlight Warning Chime/Buzzer, Instrument
Panel Light Dimmer.

8 - 7.5 Amp Gauges, Instrument Cluster, Seat Belt Warning, Headlight
Delay, Chime Module, Overhead Console.

9 - 5 Amp Instrument Panel Illumination.

 

All working my over head light works... I took out my radio but taped the ends of the wires. does this do anything ?

 

i have a 2000 xj sport and the exact same thing happened to me! still trouble shhoting! dont wanna spend $$ to take it to mechanic!

 

Am i the first one with this problem ????

 

Ground discontinuity. Find grounds, detach, wire brush and apply dielectric grease to it/them. Do you own a voltmeter? (If not, then just use a 12V lamp and add wires with clips/probes.) Clip one lead to battery negative, turn on the light switch and probe the ground points until you get a 12V measurement (or the 12V lamp illuminates). If indicated (whether by voltmeter or lamp) then you have found your bad ground.

 

On my 96 model, I recently noticed that my 4 wheel drive and low range indicator lights are inoperable. I even put a new switch in the mechanism with no luck. All the other lights work just fine in that pod. Any suggestions?

 

Come on guys cant someone help me ? this is starting to really PMO. Ive taken my volt meter out, but i have no clue what i am doing. Could somebody maybe like help walk me through this ?

 

So cherryokeen told me about my dimmer switch! Ding ding ding gonna see if that works

 

Cherryokee i replaced the headlight switch. Still nothing... No power to the 5a fuse darn! i dont know what to do now! looks like its time to study my book.

 

So today i was told if i take the gauges and stuff and added an extra ground i would be good. could that really be a problem ?

 

No power TO or FROM the 5a fuse? One side provides power and the other is the load with the fuse being the current limiting link. No power from the fuse could mean just a blown fuse. If you don't have power TO the fuse, you've found your problem. A solution could be as simple as adding an inline fuse holder with 1/4" spade connectors and going from an ACC or IGN spot in the fuse box to the load side of your 5a.
