Just bought another Jeep Cherokee XJ 1991 model
picked it up headlights all that worked took it mudding now the instrument panel and parking lights don’t work but the head lights do

tryed to change the fuses and it keeps blowing would a bad switch cause the fuses to blow or it there something else going on???

Which fuse keeps blowing? What circuit is it for? Something on that circuit is shorting directly to ground. Yes, could be a switch, could also be a pinched wired or crack in wire insulation allowing it to touch something that has a direct path back to battery negative.

The fuse for the parking lamps and I guess that the same one for the cluster
see it all worked while we were in the woods with the Jeep then idk what happened cause now it don’t work I e been told my switch is bad but I’ve looked like crazy and can’t find and loose or broken wires

and what fuse is for the break lights just found out they don’t work either

The brake lights may be a separate issue, but the other symptoms are consistent with a headlight switch that is melted/failing. Such that the parking lamp circuit and the internal lighting circuit are failing/shorted at the switch, but the headlight circuit is still good on the switch. It may not be the switch, but most people would probably inspect that to start.

Took the switch off nothing to find there
found some exposed wires taped them up and bam fuses is still blowing still can’t figure out y
but I’ll take to a shop and let them work on it
