Alright so i drove my jeep like a block down the road and it just cuts out.I have my dad come tow me back.I checked the fuel rail for pressure,it did,then i pulled a spark plug to check ofr spark.No spark! So i checked the fuses in the engine bay and i found one 30 amp those was blown.I replaced and and the jeep started.i decide to head back to town (fuses with me) and i get about a 1/4 mile away and it cuts out again! So i towed it back home again.So basically i need to know what the 30 amp fuse is for that goes in the slot with the red arrow pointing to it in the pic.Please help!

 

my owners manual is telling me for a power amp , mostly likely a sterio option that you dont have

 

that makes no sense.How could that kill the engine? i do have an after market amp,but thats ran on 4ga to the positive terminal.

 

btw its a 96

 

I believe if you look under the fuse cover it has a diagram of what fuse is for what. My '99 does...

 

well mine doesnt ;(

 

Have you tried to start it after it has set without replacing the fuse? It could be possible the fuse has been blown for awhile and something like the cps is bad.

 

yes and it still wont start

 

thats probly not your problem then , im looking in my haynes manual to see what else it could be , check your other fuses and make sure nothing else is blown

 

read thru here , it might actually help you , sounds like its exactly whats wrong with yours https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/96-...er-hood-19793/

 

any other input?

 

bump

 

i would unbolt your fuse box and look under and around it for cut or melted wires , check your grounds under the hood , that would be a good place to start

 

Well i check out the jeep today.I found that the grounding strap that goes from the firewall onto the head was loose,so i tightened it down.in the process i broke my new temp sensor "duh!".i continued to check everything over and discovered that a connection in the inside fuse block was loose too.It is a factory clip with a red wire that goes into the main harness.I couldnt figure out a way to secure it from moving other than putting some superglue on it.Which i did.Idk if that was part of my problem or not,because with the jeep running i jiggled the connecter and it didnt cause anything to happen.So i am hoping it was the engine ground strap.Heres a video of the wire i found loose though.

hmm not sure about whats going on in that video , but its a good chance it was that loose ground , does it run now , i would drive it around the block and hit some bumps to make sure its good , stay close to home incase that wasnt the problem
