Oh yeah, maybe terminals are bad, also. That sneaks up on you, and they look fine even though they aren't

can't remember what number it is, but it is a large fuse, not like under the dash.

it was on my buddies 95 xj that blew, i'll look under the hood of my 92 and see if it is the same, or if i can find out what fuse it is.
i'll take a pic if it's the same.
