No wipers, radio, or fan

[1996_XJ]

With the key in either the Run or On position I have no wipers, no radio and no fan/blower motor. With the key in the Accessory position all of these work.
And get this - the rear wiper is just the opposite - it works when the key is in the Run or On position but not when the key is in the Accessory position.
I have checked fuses and they are good.
What else could be involved? I hate electrical gremlins.

Check the ignition switch adjustment, clean or replace if needed.

I'm not sure how to do that, can you explain how? Thanks!

If you put it in the on position and wiggle it around, does anything start working?

No, the wipers, radio, and fan still don't work if I try that.

When I had a similar issue, it was the the ignition switch. Contact looked discolored so I replaced it. That solved my problem.

Just wanted to let everyone here know that it turned out to be the switch that the key goes into, I don't know if that's called the ignition switch or the starter switch or what. Anyway, I put in a replacement switch and all is well.

Hmm maybe that is what is going on with my 93..the wipers don't work unless i wiggle the wipers switch. Radio goes off and comes back on when wipers are switched on.
