electrical problems

When it rains I get drops of water that run down the inside of the windshield in my dash. I don't know if the water is the source of my problems. A few months ago my radio just shut off and went blank, I have no idea waht the problem is.(I'm not too good with the electical side of jeeps) The lights on the guages also turn off. I was thinking about having someone look at it for me, since my dad and I know nothing about electronics. any help would be greatly appreciated.[addsig]

No real way to say that is what did it but if it got wet enough to make a short circut in the right place at the right time it could have fried something. Wish i could be more help. First thing I would do is patch the leak and go from there. good Luck! Tug[addsig]

I would say that the water is the cause. I had the same problem with my jeep I'm on my third stereo now but the leak is fixed so hopefully this one will last. As for the gauges is it just the smaller gauges in the middle or all of them. If it is the smaller ones pull out the cluster and check the connections. if it is all of them i'd check your fuse box and see if water is getting there too. :-O [addsig]
