Welcome to the forum!
For help, I recommend starting a new thread in OEM tech (link). I am not very familiar with the 1997+ models.
This thread is mainly for just stating all our issues, not a help thread.

Does the jeep still start? Is the battery good, tested? Is the starter good? Is the alternator charging? Are your turn signal bulbs good?
Do you have a trailer hitch wire harness, have found problems there before and were reflected in strange dash lite and gauge issues? Don't know why.
Pull the driver side way in the back rear interior panel, should reveal a wire harness plug, you can disconnect the rear lighting, see if this removes your elec problems. If yes, then you know the turn signal problems and perhaps some shorts are in the rear.
Hey SteveMongr, I've heard reports from relatives in South Africa that your 91 XJ has been recovered from the sea by Somali pirates and being used to chase down container ships off the coast of Africa, can't keep a good XJ down.
