The fuse has only so many loads no actual fuse stated.by you.
there are more than one fuse related to a radio, besides the one marked RAD. so... why not tell the exact fuse.......????
we disconnect each to find the one that is shorted.
the fuse prevents the wire fire, so... do not up the amps.
ZJ , jeep it is. 96
fuses 3
FB 12 (fused dimmer to radio and other places
FB 15 main radio power,(run -acc)
PDC 17 dome lights and radio memory wire....
you need to know what fuse, then look in the FSM
and see all things wired to that fuse.
the starting page is
8w-47-2 (radio) (posted 100s of times)

does fuse hold if radio is disconnected?????
lets pretend fuse 12 blows
see page 8w-11-8 fuse 12, feed.
the next page covers fuse 15....
see?
you need to look at all feed wires to the fuse that blows
that includes options, and aftermarket hacks to car.

Sorry brother, it is in the gas tank with the pump. they used filters that are suppose to be good for the life of the vechicle. you can see the plug if you lift up your spare. hope you dont HAVE TO go in there.

This means you have a short. I am assuming you are talking about the fog light fuse. Does this fuse blow whether the fog lights are off? or just when turned on?
If the fuse blows when the switch is off the switch is bad too. If the fuses only blows when the switch is turned on you have a short in the wiring or bulb.
I don't know if you have test equipment so first I would say to remove both driving bulbs from their sockets and see if there is corrosion. Fix that problem if there is corrosion.
Then install a fuse without the bulbs and see if the fuse blows. If you have a test light you can bridge the fuse panel without putting a fuse in. If there is a connection you have a hot wire grounding. If there is no problem install one light, fuse or bridge the fuse holder and see if 1 light works. Try each side. This way you can isolate the problem. Then visibly inspect wiring.

If you wired anything into the fuse panel, check those fuses first. You can test all of them with either a test light or meter without removal. Just probe into the cavity at each end of the back of the fuse. Sometimes it matters which side of the fuse you used to supply power (dosen't make sense but I had that happen a few weeks ago). If fuse is not blown take power from the other end of same fuse and see if it works. If you did blow a fuse, try another connection source. I can't tell you which fuse because I don't know what you tapped into.

Thanks I finally got it. It also controlled the heat, I live in MI. Turned out to be the information center. At least there is heat and a radio. Going old school just off the gauges! For now.
