hi i just bought my first jeep a couple months ago and have recently run into some weird light issues. pulling the head light does nothing i have no parking lights no tail lights no headlights and no dash lights. turning the switch i can turn on the dome light but the dimer does nothing with no dash lights to dim. the high beams work like normal with the switch on the column. the hazard lights and the right blinker work like normal. the left blinker flashes everything the gauge lights, both right and left rear turn lights but the front only has the right work with the left turn signal. im thinking it could be a ground problem any other ideas of where to start fixing this.

You're on the right track with grounding issues.

What year Jeep?

check for a melted connector on the headlight switch witch is pretty common also look at any trailer lighting wires that may have been added, also inspect the connectors in the driver side rear behind the side panel where the spare tire mounts from factory this is also a common area for light issues be sure to take connections apart and clean them even if they "LOOK" good and add some dielectric grease when clean and put back together

i replaced the headlight switch and now they work but i still have no dash lights or tail lights. there is no wiring for trailer lights on my jeep

I believe there's a separate fuse for that circuit.

Did you do what tinytrax suggests in post 3 (i.e the cargo area ground)? It's important and often overlooked.
