Yeah, I've been driving an 89 Jeep Comanche for about four to five months now and it just recently started having electrical problems. My blinker was the first to go, whenever I turn on my headlights my left blinker dash light comes on and stays on. The blinker itself will not work on the front or back left or right lights though the emergency blinkers work just fine. Last week my Horn shorted out and it just makes a clicking noise down by the fusebox (fuse is fine for all these things by the way) whenever I hit it. Just yesterday my Radio shorted out and somehow disconnected itself from the battery. This only reset my radio stations and it works whenever the car is running but it's a huge pain in the ass considering that the screen where the radio station is supposed to show doesent work (never has), so I just have to scan. Oh, and a while ago the RPM gague went out on me for a few minutes but worked again after I cleaned off the fuse. I'm thinking that I might need a new fusebox because I checked all the wires and they look just fine. Does this sound about right? I'm kinda new to fixing my vehicle but I bought this one so that I might learn from experience. Any suggestions??
