Default No headlights

I left the soft top off my JK the other night and it got soaked. Now my headlights my wipers or my signal lights will come on. I check the fuses under the hood I couldn't tell if one of the big ones was blown. Does anyone know which fuse or fuses I can ck?

I assume you mean those things will NOT come on.

The headlights and turn signals do not have fuses.

Strange things happen when the dash board and instrument cluster get wet. It raises heck with the CAN communications.

Your best bet is to dry it out before you do any other troubleshooting.

All those items are on the LIN bus. Normal procedure is to unplug one item at a time until it works again.

Unplug the:

Compass module if equipped
Multifunction switch (steering module)
Switch bank

To start.

I'll never get the different buses straight.
I'm pretty sure of what's on the battery bus, though.
So, it's LIN from SCM to EMIC, then CAN from EMIC to TIPM.
