Bizarre Electrical Fault - Jeep Cherokee
 

Hi,

My 1995 Cherokee has an odd fault - when I put main beam on the tail lights
go out completely....

Any ideas??

I would start chasing the ground. Both use the body for ground and if
their isn't enough to go around, the power goes the easy route. There
should be a mesh strap from the engine head to the firewall and one
across an engine mount usually.

my dash lights don't work!
Trouble is I don't know where to put the fuse - the old one has been taken
out so I don't know which slot to put it in.
