I have a 98 cherokee sport 4.0 automatic. I've had the typical issues with the instrument panel cleaned the connectors no problem fixed horn going off in the middle of the night again cleaned the battery terminals and grounds on the engine block to fire wall, battery to inner fender and grounds to oil dipstick problem solved. Got in the jeep today no interior dome lights, radio or instrument cluster took everything apart to clean again checked every fuse in the fuse block and every fuse and relay in the PDC under the hood. I'm I missing a fusable link or relay somewhere that is avoiding me. I don't have any troubles with my neutral saftey switch or any codes coming up. I've scoured this site and either I'm not searching correctly or to stupid to get it but I can't find anything. Please help me.
Thanks.

Cool

Get access to your headlight switch, you may find that the connector is melted or that the wires for the interior lights are burned away. I believe the yellow wire is for the dome light trigger and the tan wire is your interior panel and radio.

Still haven't found the problem guess I didn't get all the details right either. I have no gauges but have gauge lights, still no dome light or power locks, radio lights but no radio. I've checked in the cener console no bad wires there. What am I missing?
