Did you check all fuses? yet? in both boxes?
first off the schematic (516pages) is here.
http://www.jeep4x4center.com/knowledge-base/index.htm?utm_source=cj#service
so you look any time and see why.
ill direct you to the pages.
the radio too can be complex. ext. amps. ill assume its 100 % DEAD
ill do radio dont play in run pos. of ign. sw., (easier)
there are 3 Cherokees, gas, desiel and export. so> and ENGINE! size
so every page is repeated 3 time. you sort that
6 fuses involved here, just for the freaking radio
but fuse 17 is the key fuse. see that. and the marking
RUN-ACC A31 , in JB (bad A31 power feed is the prob)
fuse 17 marked, X12-16rd/wt
fuse 18 kills windows. and is A31 feed too.. hummmmm
are both fuses blown, might check that..?????
so we look now at A31 (fuse 17 and 18 measure 0ohms with meter)
A31 goes to the Ignition switch, USA RHD GAS car, is most
complex and the first section of the switch has a pin3 to pin4
jumper. this jumper allows A31 power feed to reach the things
you find are dead. see page 8w-10-15 or pdf 35

see pdf page 240 for radio wires.
so what is wrong, i dont know,
but my voltmeter will tell min in 1min flat
got 12v on the A32 feed?
yes, then F17 -18 blown.
if not the jumper is bad in the ign. switch

SOURCE: 2000 jeep cherokee sport fuse diagram

unfortinately the fuse box is under the hood and there is no panel inside the 2000 cherokee or diagram, i had to buy an online manual to find out what fuse went where for my jeep but its not with me. You can just pull the fuses out one at a time and look at them - I know its a pain. It might be your window controll switch - mine is bad as well. It is a common problem for these cherokees especially over 100k, they wear out - I initally thought it was my fuse as well because the lights in the window switch didn't light up anymore - but it is my switch.

SOURCE: 2000 jeep cherokee sport fuse diagram

Likely you are looking for a 30 amp circuit breaker...(Looks like a small rectangular metal fuse) But...if the power door locks work, i don't think that it's bad (serves locks & windows) My diagrams show a bunch of diodes and resistors inside the master (drivers) door switch, but I've had a few apart and never saw any. (embedded?) Personally I don't see anything that shows me reliability built into the switch...It's a really "iffy" design (one in my niece's Jeep only works when the sun shines on the drivers door) There is also a control module associated with the windows but I've never needed to replace one and the manuals never tell you where they are!
Check power at the switch and check harness where it goes through the rubber boot between the door and body. at least 80% of problems I've seen are either the switch or that wiring. Wires can be spliced and you can get a decent used switch at most scrap yards.
Good luck...glad they aren't stuck down!!!

SOURCE: fuse box diagram for a 1999 jeep cherokee sport

Which fuse box diagram are you looking for? There are two fuse boxes in your Jeep. The diagrams will not tell you anything that the diagram in the lid of the fuse box will not tell you. What are you trying to fix? If you are have some type of electrical problem, you are not likely to fix the problem by replacing the fuse.

RAP IS this thing that allows things to work key off and a delay.
20 MIN RULE (

Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Circuit Description The retained accessory power (RAP) is a subsystem of the body control module (BCM). The RAP is designed to provide power to the following accessories when the ignition is in the run or accessory position, and up to 20 minutes when the ignition switch is in the off position.
  1. The power windows
  2. The radio
  3. The sunroof
  4. The overhead console
SO IS A RAP ISSUE CLEARLY.

USA ANSWERS ME ONLY UNLESS POSTER TELLS THE TRUTH AND NONE EVER DO.
EXPORT CARS ARE NOT THE SAME.

  • key off, key on ,ACC or running? 4 mode KEY what?
  • engine running or not, if not running the accessory delay relay drops all that out. in 10min./ RTM
  • now read the manual for your truck, cost zero to get. from FORD. read up delay word !
  • must be a new truck to you no?
  • cars have 2 to 4 or more fuse boxes, and covered
  • in the glove box users guide, lost that? but yes vast fuses and relays.
  • I bet some things work in ACC (key position)


  • the delay relay drives fuse F2.401, windows. power.
  • when delay times out the fuse goes dead, relay opens.
  • this is no 1990 or older truck
  • this relay save damage to the battery.
  • 5 fuses run the cluster all are KEYON only power.
  • one fuse is memory hot all the time does not count
  • one fuse is run ACC power.
  • one more for fun, RADIO power
  • if those things fail all the time ,any key position
  • or engine is dead say so
  • and scan the PCM.
  • or jumper cable jump start your weak battery, main.

    Where is the main accessory power fuse located on a 1998 buick regal ls 3.8

    Not a fuse problem .
    Voltage is applied to the left front window switch through the PWR WINDOWS PWR SUNROOF circuit breaker and to circuit 143
    Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Circuit Description
    The Body Control Module (BCM) controls the Retained Accessory Power (RAP) feature. The RAP feature allows for the operation of the following components for 10 minutes (or until a vehicle door opens) after the ignition switch turns from the RUN or ACC to the LOCK position:
    • The radio
    • The power windows
    • The power sunroof (if equipped)
    The BCM interfaces with the vehicle's power distribution through the RAP relay. The RAP relay allows the BCM to control the application of power to circuit 75. Circuit 75 provides power to the following circuits:
    • Circuit 43 -- Radio
    • Circuit 143 -- Power windows, and the power sunroof, if equipped
    When the ignition switch is in either of the following positions, the BCM energizes the RAP relay by grounding circuit 707:
    • ACC
    • RUN
    The BCM turns OFF the RAP relay when the ignition switch is in the START position. This action disables the RAP feature during the engine crank and bulb test.
    When the ignition switch turns from the RUN or ACC position to the LOCK position with all of the vehicle doors closed, the BCM leaves the RAP relay energized for 10 minutes, or until any vehicle door opens. (The BCM detects a ground signal in circuit 49 or circuit 727).
    The BCM resets the RAP timer when the ignition switch turns from the LOCK or OFF position to the ACC or RUN position.


    I would check the RAP relay . Accessory Time Delay (RAP) Relay
    Behind the IP compartment, attached to the underside of cross-car beam.

    KEY ON ENGINE OFF THE RADIO, A/C BLOWER MOTOR AND

    This is normal. It has a timer system cutting Power to all of these with the engine off. It is to limit power from the battery to run these too long, decreasing your voltage capabilities of your battery.
    To run the Radio / Power Windows with the Engine Off: turn the Key counterclockwise from Key OFF position to ACC (Accessories) position. Your Radio and Power Windows will operate. Your AC/Blower will not.
