My daughters jeep had the same problem. We fixed by finding the wires that run beside the manifold down under the car. The conduit that have the wires in it was worn away because of resting up against the manifold, causing the wires to short the system out. Once I replaced the conduit and taped the wires it has not shorted out again. By the way, the Jeep dealer couldn't find the problem.

Just a guess but you likely have a short somewhere...start tracing the circut till you find a ground that shouldn't be there. Find out how many smaller fuses that circut serves and try to isolate it down from there!

2004 jeep grand cherokee oxygen sensor fuse keeps blowing but stops blowing as soon as i remove auto shutdown relay

The ASD relay supply's battery power to that fuse . The wiring from the fuse to the O2 sensor has a short to ground somewhere . Look at the O2 sensor ,these wires sometime's get loose from body attachment point's an melt on exhaust manifold's or exhaust pipes .

gee 1, last year of Cherokee is 2001, so you meant Grand right??????
gee2, wont start or stalls, no other symptoms????? just 1 DTC, no others using a real scan tool? that be first huh?
Geewise 3, what engine, wow, wrong car, no engine or country.?

answering for 2004 GC, (i actually look it up in the real book)
not google butchered DTCs.
P means power train, 1 means factory codes.
a 3 coin toss lands...
2004 GC, vin N, 4.7L v8 automatic,


it reads. verbatim.
Trouble Code: P1389
No Auto Shutdown Relay Output Voltage To PCM
Number of Trips to Set Code: 1
  • Catastrophicmonitor failure.
Trouble Code Conditions:
Engine cranking; and the PCM did not detect any voltage on the ASD Relay Output circuit to the PCM during the CCM test.
Possible Causes:
  1. ASD relay connector is damaged, loose or shorted
  2. ASD relay output circuit is open between the relay and PCM
  3. ASD relay power circuit is open (test power from Fused B+)
  4. ASD relay is damaged or has failed
  5. PCM has failed (nah)


it means, to me.
  • the relay is unplugged
  • or fuse blown "fused B+" (a top reason, world wide)
  • the relay is bad.
