A few weeks ago I picked up a 2000 Cherokee Sport. I knew there was an electrical problem with it. What happened was the previous owner put a CB in. Ran the wires through the hole for the antenna but then never replaced the grommet. This allowed water in. The water then ran down the fuse box causing a lot of corrosion and the largest of the plugs to burn up and melt.
Today I replaced five of the connectors that were corroded and a new fuse block. There was a lot of wire splicing goin on the say the least. Before doing this the blinkers, dome light, radio, horn, and gauges didnt work. The airbag light was also on. Now I have blinkers, horn and the airbag light is off. So this leaves me with dome light, radio, and gauges.
I went over all my splices and all the wires are matched correctly. Yet I still have these three items not functioning. The haynes manual that I have isnt worth shit for wiring diagrams, they suck.
I did notice that a few of the wires that I spliced looked a little iffy to me. Once the insulation was stripped off the wire itself was a dark color, almost black, not copper colored. Could this have anything to do with my problem? Pretty much what I need is to know which plug in the fuse box is for the cluster and which ones feed power to the dome and radio.
The fuse box and plugs I used were from a 99 Cherokee. Of all the wires I spliced together there was only one wire that the 99 didnt have that my 00 does. I used one of the metal tabs from one of the connectors I cut off and added it into the plug like it would be stock.
