Default 1997 xj country Tranny issue

Hey guys!!! New to the forum world and to warn you I have terrible grammar and spelling. But any way.... I have a 1997 cherokee country with a 4.0 and auto tranny. Every time I put it into drive it blows the #11 fuse will start and run fine in park reverse and nuteral but as soon as it goes in park it blows the fuse. Please help. Need to drive it ASAP

Off the top of my head I don't know what is on the circuit for the number 11 fuse but you will have to find out everything that is run on it and find out what is shorting out. That would be the only reason why the fuse will keep blowing is a short.

Sounds to me like the transmission control module would be the place to start.

Figured it out... The tcm wiring harness at the connector. I unplugged it ran it through the gears Plugged it back in put it in drive and its perfect now!!! When I get off work I'm going to get some contact cleaner and clean the connections

THANK YOU!!!!!!!
