[jeepgirl1980]

ok, so let me start by saying that i am NOT a mechanic by any stretch of the imagination, but i'd really like to try to fix this problem by myself if it's just a simple fuse problem. my 1998 jeep wrangler is having problems with the lights going out intermittently as i'm driving. it started with my dash going out and back on every so often, and now it has turned into my lights going out somtimes. sometimes it happens when i put my blinker on- then my headlights will go out, but the lights in my dash are still working. if i put my brights on they will usually stay on though. i've taken my glove box out and located the fuse box. ok...so what exactly am i looking for? do i pull them out and look at them? how do i know if they're shot or not? what do i look at if it's not a fuse? (please speak english!)
