Hi, my 1996 jeep cherokee is having a problem with the lights when I pull the plunger switch my dashboard blinker lights and high beam light come on but none of my outside lights come on besides my tail lights.

Pull out switch and check the power to the switch.
Check power coming to switch then power leaving switch.

i have the same issue, the side marker lights will occasionally start working again but only for a few days or hours, you probably have a wire that has gotten brittle over the years, trying to find it is not easy, if you find a solution be sure to post other wise id just live with it

There's either a short or the switch itself has gone bad. I agree with replacing the switch first.
Also, I had a Grand Cherokee that acted oddly due to a corroded battery cable not sending enough juice; you may want to check the condition of your battery cables (and battery, while you are at it) to make sure that's in good order.
