instrument cluster fuse

Yours may be wired different. Year?

The older ones, AMC-Chrysler was bad about using undersized wire for the long haul, and the overload was at the fuse box, ignition switch, HL switch, AC-Blower switch, and the AC-blower speed resistor pack, and they all overheated, and overloaded each other, making for poor contacts, melted and smoked plastic insulation, burned out switches, wires, contacts, and fuse holders. The headlight switches have always been a problem. Most people install a wire-relay package under the hood, taking power to the head lights directly with a relay package and use the HL switch for the signal to the new relay package under the hood. The package, prewired is about $38 from Amazon. It takes the heavy load off the HL switch and wires.....Could you have a bad ground, and high current back feeding somewhere that takes out the fuse? I have heard of some weird ground problems doing crazy, insane stuff! Just suggesting you look outside the box, it is after all, a JEEP!!!:laugh3:


It's a 1997 Sport. I just think its weird soo many XJ have this problem.
