Hey all,
I just replaced the speakers in my 1990 Jeep Cherokee pioneer and went to remove the radio and realized I'm missing a part that I needed so I put the stock radio back in. When I was pulling it out though, the dash trim was fighting me a bit, so I spent a sizable amount of time tweaking it out. When everything was replaced and I started it back up, my dash lights and lights to the air unit were completely off, but my turn signals still flashed by the speedometer. Is it possible that I blew a fuse or the headlamp relay?

Fixed: I had plugged in a blue wire connector to a black one in the hatchback, in an attempt to get my rear wiper to work. I left it plugged in and didn't think anything of it. Apparently, this disrupts the power to the rear lamps, and the dash lights turn off as well as an indicator that rear lamps are not working. Unplugged the wire and replaced the PARK fuse gauge 10.

Check the fuse.

The fuse for the dash lights should be covered under the "radio" fuse, and my radio is working just fine. I just checked the fuse and it seems ok, I'm just about to check it again to see if I missed something. Just checked the fuse a second time and it's perfectly fine. Just checked under the dome fuse, and again, no issues.

Sure about that?
