I recently bought a used 93 YJ. I have discovered that I have no tail lights/dash lights/horn/radio. I’ve checked all my fuses, both under the hood in fuse block & under the dash. I discovered also that (so it appears) I do not have power to fuse/socket #10 under the dash. All fuses are otherwise working as they should. I have looked in manuals and been either unable to find the issue - or didn’t really get the wiring diagram. Suggestions??
 
The tail light circuit feeds to the headlight switch from Fuse 8 (20A) via a Pink/Red 18 ga wire. It exits the headlight switch via a Black/Yellow 18 ga wire. That wire dives into the loom and up around the steering column hits a big splice and goes a bunch of different directions. From what you're describing that whole circuit is dead.

So... Check for current at the Pink/Red wire feeding the headlight switch. Then turn the lights on and check for current at the Black/Yellow wire exiting the headlight switch. If things aren't as they should be, follow the trail either into the loom or back to the fuse panel.
