Help!
I managed to mess up the left side marker lights front/back on my Cherokee
this week. Signal, brake, reverse all seem to work. I had been trying to fix
a problem with trailer wiring while it was plugged into the XJ. A short
blew out a fuse somewhere and I cannot find it. What I lost on the cherokee
were front/rear marker lights, license plate light and fog lamps. I could
not find any faulty fuses in the foot well on the passenger side and the
fuses in the panel in the engine bay. Vehicle is stock with factory
installed trailer tow package.

Take a look in your owners manual, it will show you what fuse is for the
taillights and plate light, then replace it with the proper size fuse. Just
because they look fine sometimes they have tendency to blow just off center
of the little window making them appear good when they are dead. I'd take a
look in my manuals but they are 40k's away sitting in the back of my now
retired XJ.

Thanks for the reply.

I did go back to the junction box and started pulling fuses one at a time
and found the blown one.
