Default Mini fuse #16 circuit in PDC draining battery

I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0. The battery is being drained and it appears that the culprit is the #16 mini fuse circuit in the PDC. This fuse is for the hood light, TCM and radio and interior lights. Anyone ever run into this problem before.

Thanks in advance.

I have had the same problem. I found out that the light under the hood wasn't shutting off when the hood was closed. All I did was unplug the light and it took care of my problem.

It's a gravity actuated switch ( in the light). Take it apart, clean it out... Poof. Solved
