I put a new hood on and instead of keeping the under hood light i just cut it off. When i did, my gauges, interior lights, and radio stopped working. I checked both fuse panels and all the fuses are fine. all i can think of is that a wire burned before a fuse blew from shorting out when i cut the hoodlight wires. what else could it be? Its on a 98' xj. Please help ASAP i have a trip to go on tomorrow
 
fusible link under the hood perhaps?
Or was one of the wires thee ground...sounds odd but possible the dash was grounded through the hood (ok it would be downright ridiculous but it IS a jeep)
 
Im a idoit. It was a fuse. I checked all of them with a tester but for some reason it said it worked when it was actually blown. Thanks man for the quick response.
