I searched and read through lots of posts and couldn't seem to find anything quite like this.
Bottom Line: No headlights, gaugelights, or taillights even after replacing headight switch and dimmer switch.
Background: 90 Cherokee Laredo. This summer, I lost my radio, a/c, and lots of lights. Prior to that I had trouble with my headlights...they would occasionally not come on unless I fiddled with the switch (had to hit it just right). So got my ignition switch replaced at the dealer. Drove off and later discovered my radio still did not work. Said F-the stealership and committed to never take it back ever. I still had the headlight problem which just got worse.
So researched here and discovered it may be the headlight switch. Changed it, no headlights or taillights, but radio and dome lights all worked again. Changed the dimmer switch and no change. When I pull the "brights" mechanism back, the brights shine, but it doesn't click and stay into brights mode.
Checked all the fuses, none visibly blown (planning on changing anyway). In the meantime, any other thoughts? The main things wrong are headlights, guagelights, and taillights. Brakelights work. No obvious corrosion or burnt wires or anything.
Thanks to this forum, I will never take my Jeep anywhere but my own damn garage. I'm gonna buy a FSM and keep connected with you fellas and take it all into my own hands. Sick of the dealer.
