Default Electrical issue on 1995 xj

I have a new electrical issue it started last week and it's happened a few times, I'll start up and start driving and all of a sudden the stereo and blower motor and wipers stop working and hit a bump and start working again without a problem all the way to work. I know it's either a bad ground or connection bit just wondered if anyone else has had this problem and if so what wa's the fix ? Just trying to save time ripping in to the vehicle if I could find the fix quickly.

Start with the fuse box. Sometimes the connectors get loose. This is especially likely if somebody has used one of those fuse taps that plug in with your fuse. I hate those things.


bad fuse tap


If that's not the problem, it's just time to start tracing wires.

I found the problem, it was a bad ignition switch.
