Default Wiring problems

I have a 1994 jeep cherokee country. i was just driving one day and the radio was going in and out, then it just quit all together. I changed the fuse but everytime i put a fuse in, it would blow it instantly. I tried putting a 15 in instead of the 10 and it blew it so i put another 10 back in and now it doesnt blow the fuse, but when i flipped the window unlock button to unlock, it turns the radio on. Occasionally when i turn the key on, it will lock all the doors. i was sitting still with the jeep running and the radio turned on and then shut back off for no reason. i followed the wires from the door into the jeep and could not find anywhere where it was burnt and I put a whole new door switch panel in. Anyone heard of anything like this.

Mine was kicking off and on for like a month. My drivers door speaker was rusted and rotting. The positive side on the speaker fell off and was shorting out on the negative terminal. Check the backs of your door speakers.

I checked all four doors and all the wires were fine, I narrowed it down to something on my drivers side because all of my passenger side windows roll up and down

Sounds to me like a bad ground. I also know the drivers speaker wires a known to brake in the door grommet but if the windows are acting up also id start chasing down grounds.

I got three out of four windows to work, but there are no locks working or radio or dome. i checked the garment and no broke wires and im getting power to all of them. All but the back left door is working now.
