06 LJ. I was doing a "simple" mod of adding ditch lights. I routed the wiring through the cowl to my Spod. In drilling into the engine compartment I did hit the large harness that runs along the top of the fire wall.

Afterwards I have no headlights(I havr markers and tail lights) no wipers and no turn signals. When I inspect the harness 3 wires had small intrusion past insulation and copper showing but all wire intact. One wire was drilled through. I fix the one wire and I now have turn signals. The other 3 have been inspected and taped.

All fuses behind glove box are good. All fuses and relays under hood test good. Still no headlights nor wipers.

It was suggested that I shorted out the multipurpose switch on steering wheel. I replaced with a new one... still no headlights nor wipers.

I'm at a lost at what to check or look at.

Any suggestions on what to test or where to look for a solution?

you have a multimeter?

If you can get a wiring schematic, start by performing continuity tests on the circuits having issues

Be 1000% sure you have checked all wiring, and fuses for continutiy. I would also check the grounds. Quick reference video
