thisis going to be unuseaual but you could have a mechanic wire a switch on isolated relay into the fuses circuit to connect only with switch is on a 5 dollarrelay and a 5 dollar wire pack and 5 ollars in terminals pluse mechanic fees to wire in good luck
I found a fuse marked AC BFC which powers the ac compressor clutch and the body control module. No AC BFD. The wiring diagrams do not give the fuse numbers. Your owners manual should list all of the fuses and what they control.
Hi Lee and Chuck, Seems you have a serious short circuit in your vehicle. The fact that when the vehicle stands it will need to be jump started would seem to confirm the same. The power seems to be draining somewhere! The fuses which blow will give an indication of which circuit is shorting. If your brother wired in a music system or radio, disconnect it and then see if the fuses still blow? If they stay fine you know where to start. The music system is connected to the lights for night illumination of the controls. It may be that the earth connection has been mixed up with a power cable? If the vehicle runs fine during the day and does not give problems when restarting, it would be doubtful that there is damage to the alternator. You can check it fairly easily by connecting a test meter to each of the terminals. Start the vehicle and if while cranking the voltage drops below 8 volts, get the battery replaced. If it remains at about ten during starting that's fine.
Measure the battery voltage before starting and confirm 12 volts. Once started the voltage should be at about 13 volts if the alternator is charging and when the horn is pressed and the wipers turned on together with the heated window, the voltage should climb to about 13 and a half volts. If the voltage remains unchanged or drops the alternator is damaged. Usually the head lights would be turned on to carry out this simple test but as the fuses blow you can do that when you've found the short circuit. Good luck and best regards John
You may have a bad ACC relay. That relay is located in the fuse panel inside the vehicle on the left side (drivers) inside the kick panel. You need to remove the panel to expose the fuse box. I gave you a diagram of they layout of the fuses and the relay you may want to check is the one marked "ACC" Also you mentioned that you checked all the fuses under the hood. Did you make sure there was power there or did you just check to see if any were blown? The one that you want to make sure has power as well as not being blown is the one marked BTN 1 And is one of the big fuses "Maxi-Fuse" and should be a 40 amp. I also gave you a layout diagram for that panel as well below. I hope this helps you and good luck.
You will have to check the start switch.If its smoking you have a short in it which could cause a fire.Thats why it keeps blowing the fuse its a short in the switch.
If you are facing the front of the jeep. It is on your left, on the fender well. Yes, you do have a fuse under the dash. The fuse panel should be marked on what fuse is it.
