My Jeep was bought used about 3 or 4 months ago and was "abused" and left to sit in a field it was working great!.....for about 2.5 months then random things quit working The Interior Overhead Lights, The Radio, The Compass/Thermometer i have fixed the radio by wiring the "Always On 12V" to the Cigarette Lighter's Positive wire so that it comes on with the key so im assuming that a positive wire is broken somewhere, has anyone had this problem and if so what have you done to fix im open to whatever you think it could be so let me know your take on it

It sound like maybe your ignition switch could be going bad .

Nope, never heard of electrical problems on an xj. I'm stumped!
Dude that's like in the top 3 of problems literally every xj owner has.
Here they are in no particular order:
1. Cooling issues
B) fuel related issues
Lastly, electrical issues
A lot of people deal with rust too. Depending on where you are that will trump one of those three.
Then there's always the chance of a good ole death wobble

I Suppose i should have mentioned that the Ignition does not always work i have installed a starter button to solve this issue but i figured it wouldnt affect other things

Well there you go , that would be a good place to start .
