Hey guys, another electrical problem. I have a 93 cherokee with the 4.0 and automatic. I was driving down the highway and when I stopped at the rest area, the bottom of the dash started to smoke. I now have two burnt wires on the tiny relay box and now my column has power only when on acc. and engine isn't running. Any ideas?

Trace those 2 wires and try an find a short, when an electrical wire burns it's usually because a positive wire is touching a ground source or a ground source is touching a positive wire somewhere.

I've ran the wires and it seems the short originated from one of those wires. It was only the 40 A fuse under the good that was blown and it is replaced to no effect. It would help if anyone knew exactly what those small relays were for and I could try to pull something out of the air.

Well I would assume that one of the little wires go to your ignition. as you only have power in ACC. Really hard to help with vague description. Pictures could help.

Thanks alot radi, do you guys know if this system is really removed. I don't have the keyless entry switch and this thing seems to spit out one problem after another.
