Okay so a little background of what happened. Yesterday i was at a benefit for a friend. My uncle works for a salvage yard and i usually tell him parts i need and he looks for them to give to me. So anyways he got my a back interior light because since ive had the jeep its never had one. So i took him to my jeep and we plugged it in and it didn't work so i figured it was just a bulb. I kept it plugged in and i drove about 10ft to park in a new place and shut off my jeep. About 10 minutes later i climbed back in to do a little mudding and to my surprise my brand new JVC radio and interior lights weren't working. (they were working when i moved my jeep because i was listening to my subs and turned my interior lights on to find my phone. So anyways i'm getting a fuse blew, but i don't understand how in the matter of me moving my jeep 10ft a fuse could blow making my radio and interior lights not working. What couldve caused the fuse to blow?

Im not sure about all of that, but i hope someone on this forum has had a similar problem and can tell me what to look for and what tests i should do to fix this, ive been driing around akwardly for 2 days because i have no music, all i hear is my tires on the road and my squeaky suspension

Did you find the problem? I replaced one of the map lights in My 2000 XJ and now my radio, gauges, door locks, and windows don't work except the front passenger side which it now works even when the key is out of the ignition.
