Alright, so got the radio working and it has power and turns on but there is no sound and I can't really change any functions on it like the AM and FM seems to be stuck on MTL cassette but when I tried to put a cassette in it didn't take it. I'll most likely be buying a new radio. Also, I pretty much have the entire dash apart to figure why I still get no dash lights or clock. Could it be linked to the ignition switch? I've read that this is a common issue.

Another update, i cleaned what think is the map sensor and intake temp sensor with maf cleaner. I completely removed them ti clean them and when i put them back on i discovered the jeep now dies after giving It gas. I disconnected the battery hoping that might reset the ecu but it still is dying out.

Ok so I'm cleaning the c101 and went over the other 5 steps. Jeep seems to be running fine once warmed up. However I am still having an issue with parking lights, HVAC lights, dash lights, and corner lights. I went through the fuses and replaced one broken one related to these lights but it changed nothing. Could it be the headlight switch? I'm stumped here

Update, after fiddling with the headlight switch i got parking lights however with that I lost the function of brake lights and the hazards. Reverse lights still don't work along with instrument panel lights. Will be checking fuse block shortly.

Hmm ok so I fixed the turn signals with a new flasher relay but when I hit the horn (took a couple presses to get it to honk) I lost function of the turn signals and hazards. With these intermittent electrical issues could it be a failing ignition switch?

Another update: So far I have solved every issue except for I still do not have instrument panel lights and my drivers window does not role down. Any tips?
