I need to know the location/color of the wire that powers the dash lights & tail lights on a '98 XJ.
Thank you.

Have you checked the fuse to see if was blown? Install an aftermarket radio lately?

Fuses are good.No recent radio.

I'm pretty sure I have a broken wire somewhere & want to by-pass it.

Pull your drivers Tail light out and check the wiring.

On my Brother's '98 we found a short back there that killed dash lights, tail lights and a few other things..

Yeah,I checked them once but I guess I pull them again & work from the back to the front.

Thanks.

Is there a trailer plug on this rig? Could be damaged and shorting out some place. Interior wiring that is in a loom don't just break. It's usually a self tapping screw drilled into them that will "break" them.

There is a plug but I unplugged it & plugged the stock wires back in & no change.
