No gauges, signals, hazards, blower, Interior lights.
Having an issue with my 1987 Jeep cherokee project. I have no power to my gauges, interior lights, gauge lights, blower, turn signals, hazards. The buzzer that comes on when you turn the key doesn't work either. All exterior lights work fine except signals and the rig cranks fine. All this happened after I changed the fuses in my fuse block but I am 99% sure I put all fuses back in there correct places. I am completely stumped on this one and any help will be much appreciated. I did put some electrical contact cleaner on some of the contacts on the fuse panel. Could I have fried my fuse panel?

Brown wire at ignition switch is burned up along with your switch.

It did not look burned at all. It did have corrosion but I got a lot of it cleaned up to the best that I can tell.

Update: blower works now, dome light works although only with the switch in the headlight switch, hazards work. Turn signals still do not work and gauge lights don't work except for the battery light and the oil pressure light. Any thoughts?

The only things that don't work are my gauge lights and turn signals everything else works. For some reason my battery light is constantly on when the rig is running. I've noticed the brights indicator light will try to come on but I have to wiggle the dimmer switch around for it to come on and even then it hardly stays on. Could I be looking at a bad headlight switch? I rechecked the ignition switch and the connectors and they are fine. Although I do see that this was hanging off. Any input on what it is and what it goes to?
I'm really stumped on this guys any help is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

Yes, you could be looking at a bad headlight switch.
Have a peek at post 18 in my "tips" regardless.

Check your grounds and like what cruiser54 said it could be a bad headlight switch. but first off dont be an idiot like me before i was cleaning my jeep at night and i went to turn my jeep on and take it for a spin and my instrument lights didnt come on so i was sitting there looking at forums and everything until i realized i hit the dimmer switch to the off position. wish i knew that 2 days before.
