Year: 1994 Jeep Cherokee Sport
Default Radio won't turn on/Cigerette Lighter Jeep Cherokee Sport 94

Hello I have another problem with my jeep and I'm hoping that it'll be my last. Anyhow today I made I made a extremely stupid mistake. You see I stuck my Philips head into the cigarette lighter trying to get what I think it was dirt out of there' and it caused a sparked. Now my radio won't turn on and the cigarette lighter doesn't work either. I didn't have a diagram for the fuses so I just changed them all and it didn't do any justice. Can you help me out here?

Best help I can give you?

Don't stick metal objects in electrical sockets.


Pull the dash and start looking for crispy bits.

We have to laugh first. That's the rules!! LOL.

You replaced all the fuses?

How many fuse boxes do you have on that Jeep? 1994?

Fuse number 2, top right of the fuse box. 15 amp. If it blows when you turn the key to start or accessory, you have created a short and will have to pull the lower dash to get a look at the lighter wiring.

There is a blonde joke some where in this I won't tell you some of the dumb stuff I've done.

Let us know what you find please.

I think for sure I created a short and have taken the dash apart I'm just searching now. Also where is this 15 amp? I already replaced fuse 2

It should be marked radio. Top right is what I found on Google. My Jeep, 87, it is upper left but is marked "radio".

Next time maybe try compressed air or a vacuum cleaner.
Here is the fuse diagram:

Check fuse #16 under the hood?
