I have an 88 cherokee limited, 4.0. Im getting ready to license it, and have run n2 a problem. I have no tail lights, or dash lights. I replace the fuse for them, and turn the key on, not over, and they work just fine. I start the Jeep, and the fuse blows. What is causing this? Bare wire? If so, where on earth would I begin to look for this? ANY help would greatly be appreciated! Thanks...

HI , IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A SHORT ON THE START & RUN SIDE OF YOUR IGNITION SWITCH. DALE jeepman600@aol.com

check your switch, mine did the same thing and the switch was bad

EXMIL77,
What did you finally do to solve the electrical problem? I have the same problem and I replaced the switch and it still blows the 10 amp fuse. Thanks for your help.
