| Post subject: | electrical issue/shorting |
i have a fuse that is continually blowing... the fuse runs the radio, interior lights and remote door locking. i did pull the radio recently, and i'm guessing i exposed a wire somewhere that is causing a short. i've looked and can see nothing... i'm hoping they will not need to replace the wiring harness to fix.. is there any way to know/test for a short? i know zero about electrical. i'm guessing ill need to take the jeep in to a dealer to have this issue fixed, but i thought id ask here as well. any thoughts or help would be appreciated. thanks |

I pinched a wire that was grounding out and blowing the fuse fuse. Easy fix when I pulled radio and found what I did. Taped up the exposed wire and made sure the harness was not pinched when I reinstalled. |
