Hi, So I am working on a 2 door Chop Top and all the electrical was working just fine up until last Friday. I went to go move the jeep and I had no fuel pump, interior lighting, Stereo, Gauge back lighting. The only things in the cabin that work right now are the cigarette lighter, Heater Controls, and the Gauge cluster its self minus the fuel gauge. I have power to the fuse block but nothing past it. I have pulled the dash apart to get a better look and all looks ok. I'm not sure were to start looking any ideas?

When I did the chop I made sure to unplug all the wires that went up into the hatch so I'm pretty sure that it isn't a short in the rear section of wiring.

Jeep is a 1990 XJ 4L 5spd NP231

sounds like you lost a ground somewhere. not that familiar with jeeps (yet) but probably somewhere on the rear half of the vehicle

 

Well tonight a buddy and I were able to get some were I think. We pulled the fuse block out a bit and started wiggling it around trying to get the test light to the wires behind it and I guess from all the movement of it it did something because now the dome light and cd player work (no sound comes from the speakers). I still do not have gauge back lighting or fuel pump thought. Also I noticed that the yellow ish brown wire for the fuel pump when the key is on it has very little power (test light is very dim) not sure if it is supposed to be like that or not....

I also pulled the bracket that holds the Computer in place and when I pulled the computer down I notice to wires a "White / Black" and a "White / Purple" neither were connected but looked like if they were they would go to the larger of the two plugs.

Any other ideas?
