Okay I'm ready to give up replaced the headlight switch checked all grounds all connections in the rear of the jeep and still cant figure it out. I have headlights but no tail lights, license plate, or park lights... Any ideas??? In desperate need of help this is my DD and dont have the money to put in in the shop... It's a 95 sport.

License plate bulb is good could it be anything else

Do you have a trailer wiring harness that could have shorted wires causing the fuse to blow?

same thing happened to me, came out to be a fuse in the fuse box in the hood.a yellow one not sure which one though.

I do have trailer wiring harness I'll look at it tomorrow under the jeep I checked it inside by the driver side rear light and it was fine... I've checked every fuse this thing has

Double check all your fuses. The running lights, tail lights and gauges are all fused on the same circuit.

I had my dash lights go out one night and didn't realize the outside lights were out too until I got pulled over. Cop goes "did you know your taillights are out? no? are your gauges out too? Ok, check your fuses then. they put them on the same one, so if your gauges go dark it means your taillights are out. most people don't know that but I see it all the time."

I think its like a 15 amp fuse or something like that, on my '87 it was in the under dash fuse panel, pretty easy to overlook.

Ya it's fine but it has no power going to it

Could the whole fuse box be going out I just lost power to my blower motor for heat and a/c

Gonna try and scrape up the money from somewhere and put it in the shop I can't figure out whats wrong and this site sure ain't helping

I'm sorry you've got this problem but it's real hard to fix electrical problems on someone else's Jeep using just a keyboard and a monitor.

If you don't possess the skills to fix it yourself with some guidance from some well-meaning people, you're probably better off having someone look at it first-hand anyway.

there could be something underneath your fuse box (power distribution) shorting things out...also there is a main fuse for the fuse box #3 40 amp....hope you find the problem....I know how stressful not having your work car can be

Oh I've got the knowledge to fix it just seems difficult to find wiring diagrams and fusible link locations for some reason, ( I just have my phone to search with) just looking for a bad ground or a grounded/shorted wire among thousands is a pita
