electrical issue
This thread is for all those who would like to ask something tech related and don't want to start a new thread or hijack someone elses, and for all those tech related questions you happen to ask in the big off topic threads. Me and some of the older members will answer every kind of question as long as it is TECH and polite.
P.S. for the newbs: stupid questions don't exist, there are only stupid answers. Feel free to ask whatever you want. "What is a Jeep?" is a good question....
EDIT: If your question is very common (eg: lift) please DO A RESEARCH FIRST and if you don't find the answer come back here, 75% of the questions can be answered within a 5/10 min browse using the "SEARCH" button on the black banner menu.
For any lift & tire questions go here first: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/all...go-here-10579/

So, I’m new to this website and trying to figure it out on my phone bare with me. I’m no expert but I know enough about mechanics and automobiles to get me in trouble. This is my first XJ and I’ve loved it every second. I bypassed the heater this summer and have been rolling around with no heat or ac, now that it’s 10 degrees my little defroster wasn’t doing the job keeping me warm, so I fixed my heater and put a new heater control valve in, new problem. My hvac selector switch isn’t working along with my cigarette lighter and my radio. It all turns on (besides the hvac switch) and if I try to use the radio it 12v plug it all shuts down. The rest of the dash lights work and whatnot just those 3 things. I’ve checked all fuses I’m currently in the process of taking the dash apart and checking connections. But I’m lost at the moment. Any help would be majorly appreciated. Thanks!

No, I don't lick fish.

It sounds like you've got yourself quite a wiring conundrum going on there. The 12v cig lighter, dome lights, and radio should all be on the same circuit (if I'm remembering correctly), but your HVAC controls should have their own. Let us know what year you have along with what motor and any other details you can think of and we can probably hook you up with the appropriate wiring diagram.
