I had the exact same problem on my 93 cherokee. It's a blown fuse, really cheap and easy to fix.

In my Jeep, the fuse that blew was located just above the brake and gas pedal, accesable from the drivers side.

1: Remove each fuse one at a time. A pair of needle nose pliers makes this alot easier, though isnt required.
2: Check the fuse to see if it has been blown. A working fuse will have a thin peice of metal connecting the two prongs together at the top. A blown fuse will most likely look like a mini grenade went off inside of it, the plastic will be burnt and the thin peice of metal will be gone. (don't worry, thats what its designed to do)
3: If the fuse is still good, replace it in the EXACT same spot you took it from BEFORE removing the next. (placing them in the wrong slot will either destroy the fuse or remove any protection the fuse was supposed to give... or simply cause things not to work at all.) If it is a blown fuse, replace it (once again, the same spot you took it from) with an appropriate fuse.

Fuses change quite a bit over time, but for the most part they are color coded... Mine was yellow. Yours might not be, but its a place to start looking.

I have a 1989 Jeep Cherokee. After powering a small inverter from the cigarett lighter outlet to power a laptop I now have no power to the turn signal relays, wipers, radio, hot/cool blower motor, and...

sounds like you may have melted the ignition switch and it is just partly working. (i have done this myself before) it is located on the lower part of the steering column you maybe able to use a mirror and a flash light to see if it is melted. ( mine was, but the jeep still started) the switch will have a few wires running to it also a metal rod that comes down the column from the key switch. (please rate this if it help Thank you)

94' Jeep Cherokee Conutry 2wd Dash lights not working

try replacing the ignition switch(not the ignition lock[where the key goes]).it will probably be located on top of the steering column , towards the bottom.but before going through with this make sure the connectors to the switch are fully plugged in.

1993 Mercury Tracer cigarette lighter

I assume that you tried the cigarette lighter itself and didnt rely solely that the charger was working properly. When you tightened the ring on caseing did you see that the wire connected on the back of the lighter was properly attatched, sometimes a good connection loosens up especially if caseing was found to be loose.. Well assuming it was properly connected you could test the circuit with either a multimeter or 12 volt test light if power is found at connection then you problem is definetly the cigarette lighter assembly itself.. I hope this was helpful...Let me know I would appreciate it

Left turn signal works sometimes and somtimes does not work.

I have/had a similiar problem with mine. My 94 Cherokee's radio would cut out, the wipers wouldn't come on, the climate controls would die, and the cigarette lighter would not work. This happened at any time. So knowing nothing about auto electrical, I took it in and the guy took all of five minutes to diagnose the problem as the ignition switch.
