I know this is vague but hopefully someone else has had this issue and can give a quick point towards possible checks. Yesterday I replaced most of the front of my '94 XJ. Header panel. grill, lights, radiator, fender, cooling fan...you get the idea. Now none of my front lights work at all. My rear lights and brake lights work but not the rear turn signals.

If it was you guys XJs what would you check first? I have electric probes. Thanks in advance.

If it would be me, as a start I'd go over the wiring and connections and made sure everything was hooked back up. Including making sure all the grounds are clean and snug.

I wonder if they are on a fusible link. Were they shorted in the wreck?

MMM but no running light's or signals ether? I might expierment with a ground wire right off battery neg, to say a bulb socket. That would tell you right away if it's a ground issue.

OK first off thanks for the replies. Turned out to be a combination of a cracked headlight socket, broken ground and blown bulbs..All of which happen in my recent front/rear damage.
