x2 fuses. there are two locations- one by pass. feet, one under hood, pass. side. jeeps have this issue alot. im suprised that there are so many lights/gauges not working. usually its only a couple at a time... i wonder if there was anyone in there messing or modding the wiring? any more info? did you get it this way? did all issues happen at once, or over time? sometimes the only thing left is to pull the dash apart a little to get behind it and check/replace the switches, etc...

bought it like this. guy said if he replaces the fuse it will just blow again. i started tearing apart the dash to check out the wiring. its missing a fuse map so is there just one fuse that powers all the lights and speedo and heater?
