Oct. 8, 2019 - Fuse Box Diagram Jeep Wrangler engine: 2.4L, 2.5L and 4.0L (TJ; 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006)

I had the same problem on my 98. I went without brake lighst for a few days. Narrowed it down to tha hazard switch. Replaced it and all is good now.

The fuse for the wipers on a 97 wrangler are located behind glove box just unhook strap that holds up glove box and replace.

Lets Look at the fuses once more the # 2 threw 5 i have seen the fuse be good but it had loss contact in the fuse box, remove the fuse and install them to see if this helps
Also at the battery there is a fuse link check here to see if this has blown or loss contact,, a new one can be spliced in if needs replacemint

Sounds like a short in the electrical system. Maybe even just a loose ground wire. On the other hand...It could just as easily be a bad ECM (BRAIN)! Warranty still in tact? I hope so. Diagnostic at a certified Jeep shop... Good Luck!

You need a new headlamp switch without question. This is a very charactoristic problem with Jeeps. Thank you, Dana

there is another fuse box under the hood in front of the battery. it will be a small 10 or 15 amp fuse change it and all will work again. if that is not the problem then check behind the glove compartment there will be another fuse box.

Check the fuses under the dash. If they are o.k. Check the bulbs. If they are o.k. then it may be the combination switch. (turn signal switch)

under the dash on the drivers side ... i believe the radio uses the same fuse as the lighter.

Please take a moment to rate this solution... thanks

I had a similar problem with my 2000 Jeep TJ and I found the problem in the wiring harness under the hood.several wires were corroded and almost burnt off.If you remove the black tape which keeps the harness bundled together and if you see evidence of "green" type powder or "gook" it's most likely where the wires have faulted.
