Radio and everything was working yesterday, get in car again last night. Radio, dome lights and power locks are not working at all. I am 99% sure I checked every fuse and they all tested and visually looked good. I don't think I missed any. Spent a little time on my knees checking them all. I am hoping this is something someone else has experienced and there is a fairly easy fix. 180k miles. alternator is good, battery is good.
Thank you in advance,
Lee

check all your grounds! especially the one on the firewall in the engine compartment.

leethedeuce

ok, so there is one ground in the engine compartment? Do you know where the other ones are I should check?
Thank you for your fast response. Someone I know mentioned that as well.

Just wanted to add, the compass/temp gauge overhead works fine. the windows work fine, headlights every thing else just those 3. Hope that narrows it down for you.
Thanks,

Same thing happened to me, found that the wiring that went under the carpet and through the center console were melted together. Just a thought, pull the carpet and check wiring.

Same thing happened to me, found that all the wiring that went under the carpet and through the center console were all melted and fused together. Just a thought, pull the carpet and check wiring.

Meant to edit, my bad. ***

Do I pull the carpet up from the driver side? and that would effect both power locks on both sides? Will give it a shot asap. Thank you for the suggestions.

Yes that can include the power locks. (I take it your jeep is newer since you haven't said) On the passenger side try to pull off the plastic cover/trim over your fuse box, might check everything in there and start working your way towards center console. I recommend that only because pulling that console can be a £$%^.

Good luck. Keep us updated

its a 96 cherokee. There is another fuse box on the passenger side? Not the one on the driver side kick panel?

pdc under hood

leethedeuce

with your suggestions and searching the forum. Someone had said the 20amp minifuse blew on the passenger side under the hood fuse box. Checked it and sure enough that is what blew. The hood lamp glass was falling out and must have caused a short. Changed that bulb and the fuse and everything is working great again. Of course now I discovered what seams to be a new coolant leak. Not sure if its the lower hose or the water pump. Will be investigating soon.
Thanks everyone,
Lee

My overhead console lights, power locks and radio and amp wont work! They just all the sudden stopped working I've checked every single fuse inside and out even bought brand new ones just to be sure. Still nothing bought a light circuit tester and the radio and power locks and amp turned the light on I have no idea what is wrong with it and it's pissing me off! Anybody have any solutions or suggestions?

Freegdr figured that one out easily. That box under the hood is the PDC, power distribution center.
