Guess what you will have to trace them. You prolly have a hot wire grounding out somewhere.

Have fun with the rats nest.

Well if I were you, I'd definitely just say screw it and rewire both circuits to bypass the fuse box. Yes, that means it creates a fire hazard... You drive a Jeep, just pack a fire extinguisher in case anything decides to go crazy.
