Question Lighting issues... Ugh

My 1989 jeep cherokee has no head light, brake light, hazards, or dash lights. But the blinkers work and the dome light works. Ive checked every fuse and relay and wire that i know of and looked up. Changed the headlight on/off switch and some relays. Still cant figure it out!

sometimes there is a HUGE round fuse.. it controls those items on alot of vehicles.. my guess is thats what it is. Its generally green or silver.

You mean the one down at the fuse panel... It looks like the flasher relay.

Check yoiur fusible links on the starter relay. Use a test light with a sharp probe and make sure they all pass current. You will find one doesn't.
