I also have a '98 but mine is a Laredo. My fuse box is located on the passengers side near the feet. To be more specific, if I sit in my passenger seat the box would be next to my "right" foot, it's hidden behind a little door that easily pops out!

I think some Jeeps also have fuse boxes on the side of the dashboard (also on the passenger side). To access this box I believe you have to open the passenger door!

Hope this helps!

Not positive about this either but if you pull each fuse I'm sure you'll find one that has blown.

There is a little plastic tool that you could get from a parts store (it's small, about 2") which allows you to simply grip each side of the fuse while it's installed. Once you have each end gripped, there is a light on the end which will glow red if the fuse is blown, & green if it's good! This way you don't have to pull each fuse out individually.

This tool usually comes with a set of fuses, it's under $5.

If it still doesn't work after you change the fuse, you can go to this website to see what wires go where. I'm pretty sure you just blew a fuse because it doesn't take much to blow one if a bare power wire touches a ground source. Best of luck on your search.
