Ok so today i went to the junkyard and got a dash clock off an 88 Laredo to install into my 92 Sport. I didn't have the harness plugin like i thought i did, so i just screwed the clock in and called it good for now. When i was putting the dash face back on, the Stereo stopped working. I pulled it out, checked the wiring and even plugged my OEM stereo back in to test it, nothing.
I checked the fuse in the new stereo, and under the dash - Both good. So i closed the jeep up again to come here, and noticed a few other things were no longer working.
-Power locks do not work, but power windows do
-Dome lights do not work, but dash lights do
-Blower works
-Wipers work
I'm confident it's a relay, but where would it be? I know of 3 relays under my dash not attached to the fuse block, two black ones connected to each other and red one.
And while I'm at it, can someone direct me to a guide on wiring up the dash clock? My jeep didn't have the harness for it. I know all 4 cords are power related, i just don't want to crisscross them.

Just tested both relays i found under the dash, both clicked when they had power.
The fuse for my dome lights was blown, so i'll replace that when i find a spare o go buy one.
I tried testing the red relay, and found a sticker on it saying
"Heated Backlite Smart Relay"
The poll numbers are 1-5 vs a normal relay, so idk how to test it.

Lol, i always make a thread before i try finding the issue. That way when i fail, i fallback on this and there are already answers!
