I'm a noob with a seriously aggravating electrical problem.....I've got a 95 Cherokee Sport that's been giving me some trouble with it's pwr windows, locks, heat, ac, radio, signals, wipers, etc. working whenever they felt like it, if at all....several of my interior fuses blew so i replaced all of them only to discover it was a temporary fix.....so I ripped open the driver side door panel and rewired everything from the door to the fuse box (lots of wear and tear and several exposed wires including at the door hinge all got redone and taped up excessively)..... so now everything but the windows work....I coated the panel in dielectric grease (lots of copper corrosion) and crossed my fingers but still no go....Now I've got the fuse panel pulled out but so I can see what's up behind it but I don't know my *** from a hole in the ground when it comes to this kind of ****.....and I cant find a visual diagram for it anywhere (She didn't come with an owner's manual)....So I guess my question is this: If there's no damage to any wires back there and everything is where it's supposed to be (provided I find a good wiring diagram) and it's not every motor in all 4 doors, then am I back to simply getting another 30A circuit breaker fuse ( it'd be the fifth in 2 weeks) or do I quit and bring her to a pro? And if I am wired wrong behind the panel then how do I go about fixing it? Please help a girl out before she can no long fight the urge to driver it off a cliff.....
P.S. Am I alone in this or is this electrical crap typical for the year, make and model?

Nothin' wrong with the fuse box or its' wiring so I put a new cb fuse in and the switch panel on the door started smoking, the fuse was wicked hot and rattled when I pulled it out. The next day I took a hunch and tried on of the old ones that didn't. Low and behold my windows are now in working order and so far so good, but if it glitches out again I'm thinkin' I'm gonna need a new switch panel......I'm crossin' my fingers......Hope my misadventures help somebody out with their own electrical misfortune. And thank's to those who can give me any future advice in the mater

Okay so when re-gearing do you have to get a new carrier in order to go to a deeper gear set? The only reason I ask is because in the Quadratech catalog in the replacement section they have 2 different carriers listed. One for 3.55 and higher gears (numerically lower) and another for 3.73 and lower gears. I have 3.55's now and want to go to 4.88's. So can I use my current carrier or do I have to get a new one?

When i drive to class there are some hills along the way, and at like two of them going up the hill i have around 1100 to 1500 rpm. and if i press on the gas harder i don't accelerate much and the rpm slowly go up. then sometimes jumps to 2200 rpm at the top, that's only happened twice.
This all happen around 35-40mph going up the hill
this all just seems odd to me
What do you think?
Thanks

Need to check your CAT before messing with the kick down cable.
