all summer I had my door locks disconnected for the doorless mod. Now that it's getting colder I connected them again. I hit the door lock button getting out of my truck and everything turned off inside. Second time it has happened. First time it was only a fuse. This time none of the fuses has been blown

there is a shorted wire somewhere that has probably melted. based on your last post. i know that Grand cherokees like to brake wires in door hinges that cause this problem, not sure if the Cherokees also have this problem.

I can understand the wires breaking in the door hinge causing this. But why would that effect my radio? Ill just have to check all the wires out today

As XJRed96 said in a previous post, it is common in GC for door wires to break and as for his question about happening to Cherokees, YES! Happened to me. I lost power windows and radio because of this...
