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??

Jay

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.

Got a 3 dollar test light?
Tap your testlight onto a known good power source, then with the prod
end, put the point in where the fuse should be (or one of the spots)
and turn on your lights, if it lights the testlight your on the right
one, if not, onto the next until you find it.
