Hey guys, another electrical problem. I have a 93 cherokee with the 4.0 and automatic. I was driving down the highway and when I stopped at the rest area, the bottom of the dash started to smoke. I now have two burnt wires on the tiny relay box and now my column has power only when on acc. and engine isn't running. Any ideas?

 

Trace those 2 wires and try an find a short, when an electrical wire burns it's usually because a positive wire is touching a ground source or a ground source is touching a positive wire somewhere.

I've ran the wires and it seems the short originated from one of those wires. It was only the 40 A fuse under the good that was blown and it is replaced to no effect. It would help if anyone knew exactly what those small relays were for and I could try to pull something out of the air.

 

Well I would assume that one of the little wires go to your ignition. as you only have power in ACC. Really hard to help with vague description. Pictures could help.

 

 

Its a fuster cluck in there, sorry about the clarity

Thanks alot radi, do you guys know if this system is really removed. I don't have the keyless entry switch and this thing seems to spit out one problem after another.
