no dash lights
My radio was hiked, had bare wires in the dash, hit a huge bump, heard a spark sound, dash lights went out. Everything still works except the dash (gauge/ heater control lights). I've replaced fuses, replaced the headlamp switch, have inspected all the wires behind the dash, nothing looks melted,overheated, or burnt, im out of ideas, i am not intelligent when it comes to electrical!!!!!! BTW... headlight switch in a 94 xj sucks donkey ^$$ to change..... Any input is appreciated, at this point, positive or negative will humor me!! thanks in advance!!!!!!
