Just get a string, tie the combo switch back to the steering wheel,
and see if any of the fuses has voltage differential between the terminals.
No, all the functions do not go thru the same fuse. They go thru
whatever fuse is on whatever circuit for the item operated.

No, he's just being honest.
Back when I was putting mega-miles on my diesels, I'd buy from Rusty & I'd
buy from the local Stealership and I'd buy from the "big box" parts stores.
These days, I buy most of my Jeep parts from the "big box" parts stores.

It promised to be a beautiful day, so I put the top down. It was still
pretty chilly, and as I was pushing the top down into place I heard a
loud 'POP'. Yep, one of the rear quarter windows split completely
across. Crap.
After work I stopped by the upholstery shop. They sold me a scrap of

The fuse contacts all have a thin coating of conductive grease to prevent
oxidation and allow good electron transfer, and all fuses were
rotated/whatever to see if there was any loss of contact and all was still
OK except

Anyone know the proper fuel pressure for a 88 560sec? I get about 130 psi when
I measure it after the second fuel pump ( using banjo bolt and gauge). Car died

All K and KE jets are the same -- 3 bar I think. Note that you must
also check the differential pressure between the upper and lower
chambers in the fuel distributor, and I don't remember what the
pressure differential has to be. I'm fairly sure that 130 psi is too
