Hi guys im new to these trucks so im lost right now. My truck keeps blowing the small 30 amp fuse under the hood. Heres what happens. This happened to me a few days ago and all i did was swap it. i was able to drive the truck for a few days and just this morning the same issue happened. I dont have the manual so i have no clue what this fuse runs. Once the fuse is blown the truck still turns over but no ignition. Put a new fuse in and i can drive about a 1/4 mile before it blows again. any ideas as to what this fuse is and where to start looking? it obviously seems like an electrical short or some part going bad. any help would be appreciated. thanks

 

What year is your XJ ?

 

96 with an automatic transmission

 

I was going to send you a pdf manual, but I don't have it for a '96. The '95 and '97 won't work will they? Will this help? Jeep Wiring diagrams

 

i think 95 and 97 may be the same. send it to me and ill look over it. that wiring diagram looks wayyyyyyy too confusing lol i looked through it but couldnt find where that fuse could be located.

 

look inside the lid of the fuse box it should say what each fuse is for

 

I'm sending you a Private Message.

 

it says 30amp but it doesnt say what the fuse controls.

 

anybody?

 

There's a 30 amp fuse that supplies power to the ASD relay in the PDC under the hood on a ZJ and WJ, but I don't know if it's the same on an XJ.

 

i took a picture of the fuse block. i downloaded the 97 and 95 manuals but couldnt find this same wiring diagram. or maybe im just blind

I don't know. This is for '97 so probably won't help. Jeep Cherokee Electrical - 1997 - 2001 XJ Fuse & Relay Identification - Reference guide to the fuses, ratings (Amps), relays and circuit information.

 

thanks but its too off. i dont get why its so hard to find out what fuse this is. how the heck do the mechanics do it? tracing wires all day? Its gotta be somewhere.
