89 jeep Cherokee while driving at night you heard a pop and all of your lights except your turn signals went out all of the bulbs and fuses are good HELP?
sounds like you blew a (some) fusible link in the light circuit. Check the harnesses to see if the wires are chaffed or shorted. Bottom line is you let the smoke out and its bad (just kidding). Hopefully you will find something in that order, good luck.....................Mike I concur. I would say with 90% certainty that if you look at your fusable links you will find one that has burned out. In my own experience (with a '90 Cherokee Laredo) I discovered one night that I had no lights whatsoever except turn signals and dome light. After thoroughly checking the fuses, I "accidentally" discovered that a fusable link (under the hood on the passenger's side, about a foot from the battery) had completely fried--the insulation had even melted totally off the wiring. Unfortunately, if yours is the same one as mine, you'll be looking at junk yards to try to replace it--I had no luck finding a new one (and I sure wasn't going to the dealership!) Best of luck.
