Default Blowing Fuses

anybody run into the issue of blowing the RUN/START IGNITION, DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS fuse? Its a 20 amp fuse under the dash...#11.

It seems when it gets warm, it pops it in reverse after leaving it in gear for 3 or 4 seconds.

Look around for a sketchy ground wire somewhere.. Jeeps are notorious for acquiring bad grounds.

if its blowing fuses then that means you have a wiring problem, check for any melted/exposed wires. i left exposed wires on my lights and went through 4 fuses till i figured it out

figured it out...NSS. It gets power from that fuse to power on my reverse lights. And it also powers the A/C clutch relay and my Daytime running lights. In addition to having something to do with sending signal to the ECU to kick on the Fuel Pump and the Coil.
