Default Interior Lights (No lightee no excitee!)

Well, I was replacing my headliner, and I very stupidly was doing the job with the interior lights on, and while screwing on the front dome lights / MPG cluster, I shorted the interior lights. According to a diagram I found online, it should have been fuse #5. Replacing fuse #5 did nothing! What is going on? In other words... PLEASE HELP!!! 1993 Grand Cherokee Limited.

Sounds like you pinched/screwed through a wire and need to find and fix the problem.

Default Almost there...

Well the headliner is on, and looking like new. I shorted the light bulb clip on the front dome light assembly, and it blew a whole bunch of ****. A fuse in the power distribution center marked (oh, hell I don't remember), was blown, a fuse that controls the heat, stereo, power locks was blown! Replaced them, and everything is back on, but with problems. The delayed interior lights don't delay anymore, and if you have all 4 dome lights on at once, they are very dim. Also the factory alarm no longer works. All because I was arrogant enough to replace a headliner without disconnecting the battery. Sucks to be me. (Although I was looking for a way to disable the factory alarm anyways, and I wasn't crazy about the delayed interior lights.)
