So i changed a heater core in my 1999 cherokee sport. Put everything back together, and now i have no gauges what so ever, the compass and all the overhead is dead, and the blower no longer works.
yes ive checked all the fuses, relays, and ground points. Also made sure everything was securely plugged in.where do i start?

So the pinched wire was correct! Think i have a bad blower motor too. The plug in the blower is broken and you can move the prongs around. (There was smoke coming out of the motor)
Are both wires from blower motor supposed to be hot?

O.P. stated it's a 99. However, 97+ is also subject to being toasted by the shi1 design.
