That's awesome. The body looks great - how's the frame?
Is it the 4 or 6 cylinder?
I'm going to make my guess : bad fuel pump.

Bad fuel pump. Its in pretty decent shape. A little rust at the bottom of the windshield frame, like normal, but ither wise its pretty decent
Its 1997 se. 2.5, 5 speed, lapis blue, the softntop frame is there but no top other then the bikini top.
He said the manifold cracked so he had a shop out a header on and its got some horrible looking cold air intake but looks great everywhere else

Ok, we got a full soft top off marketplace for cheap. Now we just need the door surrounds and door uppers.
We also drilled out all the nroken seat bolts, front and rear seats, and remounted the seats so more then ine pwrson can ride in the jeep. We noticed it also has yj feont aahara seats in it that someone dyed black

Got the light switch issue fixed. Turns out a fuse was blown that seemed to have nothing to do with the dimmer switch part of the headlight switch. The marker light 10a fuse was bad so the dash panel light 5a fuse didnt have power. Once i fixed the 10a fuse, the 5a fuze suddenly got power and now everything works

Does he drive that fast?
Maybe give it some time for the light yo catch up.

Except he never left the driveway.
Its sitting today. I drove it all day snd no matter what bumpes i hit, the headlights never came on.
Once that is fixed, this old 2.5 powered jeep is a decent around town jeep. The 5 speed makes it nice to drive versus how boring the auto in the other tj is.

Check the multi function switch. My battery was draining. One day i came home to find my fog lights on. It was the switch.
Id also clean all grounding points for battery and behind the dash.
Also headlight grounds near the radiator.

I am actually going to put the original switch back in and see if the lights start working. The current switch i had just bought and installed so i feel like its that switch too.
I will update when the jeep is back at the house and available for work. My son drives my wife's 2018 mazda to work normally since it gets 30mpg and today, he went out and a tire was flat. We went to change it and but all needed replacing so he took the jeep to work and i went to discount tire.

Ok, swapped the original switch in and it gave no headlights and no cluster lights so that is bot the issue.
I checked every relay i could find, even the one under the cluster that seems to be for the tailights. I also checked fuse, both boxes, like the relays, all good. Grounds also are good.
So, i can get headlights if i pull the switch like i am flashing someone so power is getting to the lights in that setting.
previous owner cut out the plug that goes to the bottom of the headlight/turn signal switch (multifunction) though and then used yellow wires to connect it all back. Those came undone and i dont know which goes where on the mutlifunction switch.
Here is a pic showing the area of issue
