so i have an 89 cherokee and my running lights dont work neither do the dash lights and i dont know why!! my blinker lights, reverse lights, and my headlights work Y would that be like that? all my cab lights work just not the dash, could it be the lights switch (the one you pull to turn on the headlights)?? the only fuse panel i have is the one left of the brake and i dont think i have over looked that fuse. can anybody help me?? thanks in advance

 

When you turn on your headlights just turn that **** some (Its also a dimmer) aka dims or brightens the lights in your dash...sometimes mine dont turn on, then I just fidget with the **** and find "that" spot and theyre fine again.

If that dont do it...I wont be able to help any further.

 

Check your fuses.
Check your relays.
Take a multi-meter and check for voltage and continuity at the wire harnesses.

 

Did you just install a stereo recently?

 

There was a stereo n it already i didnt install it. I checked for voltage on the side front lights an i was getting no power same on the rear. I know were the fuse panel is but which fuse would it be??

 

Use a test light and probe both sides of the fuses in the fuse box, if only one side of the fuse lights, it's blown. The owners manual will tell you what fuse is for what circuit. How long have to had the vehicle?

 

I have changed almost all the fuses acording to the chiltons and nothing i dont understand

 

You may have a switch issue.

 

Ok so i went back over the fuses and it had a blown fuse. I changed it out and it keeps blowin and i dont know if its a bad ground, a short or what he has wired to all of it thanks for all the help

 

A bad ground will not blow a fuse, a short to ground will cause the fuse to blow. Pull the radio out and look at the wiring, I'm betting the wire for the stock radio dimmer circuit is shorted to ground behind the radio. But you should check the wirinf at all four corners and see if there are any damaged wires. You should also take a look at any trailer wiring if equiped and check for damaged wiring.
