According the manual, only dash illumination(dash cluster lights, ac/heater illumination, and 2hi 4hi 4lo shifter illumination) and radio illumination i believe.

Yes its a 5 amp. And ive checked a couple grounds. Only found 1 under the dash. Im not sure what a bad ground would look like though. I dont have any ash tray lights. Mines an SE so this issue is basically the only electrical thing in the whole damn jeep lol.

X2. Check wiring harnesses near pinch points or moving panels for broken insulation that will allow the wire to come in contact with another wire or metal.

Also, my ceiling dome light doesnt come on when my driver side door is open, but it does when the passenger door is open. Could this possibly be the issue?

The little push rod sensor might be jammed or not hooked up.
