Default Power distribution center

I need some advice on how to run a distribution center. PO messed up my wiring real bad. So i would like to make a distribution center with switches for the following..
1.ignition
2.fuel pump
3.running lights
4.headlights
5.interior lights (dome)
6.guage cluster lights
7.radio
8.hvac controls
9.winshield wipers.
10.rear windshield wipers
11.extra
12.extra

Currently my only working fuctions in my jeep. Fuel pump on key turn an blinkers an the radio because its permanently on so i have to take faceplate off. The starter doesnt even work on key turn. He hooked it up to a push to start for some reason... no running lights, so when i pull out the lights only my headlighys work no rear brake lights
Wiring ia seriously messed up. Hacked up everywere. Shotty splice job for trailer wire... help...

I think you need to check the ignition switch and wiring 1st because cherokees like to burn up the ignition switch . get a new harness form a pick and pull .

Remove inspect diagnose ignition switch.
Remove inspect diagnose headlight switch.
Disconnect trailer harness.
I would start there. Much easier to do.

I just noticed you have another thread. Did you check every fuse in the PDC and junction block? Definitely check the light switch and it’s connector.

I do have another thread. The more i trace the more messed up connectors and broken pig tails i find. Im trying to locate a harness an just gut the interior and re do it. More reliable in the long run away in my opinion.
