Unstuck my jeep yesterday but didn't have time to post. Only took an hour and a half. I'm glad she made it out alright.

if its a 1st Gen XJ(pre 97) the fuse for the interior lights is the same fuse as that for the marker lamps.

Check the "Parking Lps" fuse, if its bad replace it with a 15amp. You should also try to figure out where the short is thats causing it to blow.

Took it for a romp in the snow. Pulled a few people that didn't belong on the road out of snow drifts.
