Question no gauges or radio. g108 ground?

my gauges and radio arent working right now.. but here's the weird part. I have a sirius unit that is separate from my head unit, they are both wired to the same power and ground. The issue is that the radio doesnt have power but the sirius unit does. I check the connections and they seem fine. any ideas?

I did some research and there are a couple options

1) either fuse #16 or #9
- I checked both fuses and they are fine.



2) IOD fuse in the engine bay fuse box



3) or the G108 ground behind the dash. which as of right now seems to be the cause to the problem



Does anyone have any photos of this ground point? something that could help me locate it when i try to find it.

I don't know what year your Jeep is, but my '89 had a 10 amp fuse in the back of the radio. You may wish to check there.

Also, my gauges went haywire one morning on the way to work. It turned out to be a bad ground at the fuse block.
