Are you sure that this is for 20AMP, according with the repair manual, the position 20 in the Power Distribution Center if for Power Motor ABS Pump, and is 10AMP.

Verify it..

Agree - it is 20amp - it is position F21 - how do I know - cause my 1998 Jeep Wrangler 4.0 is doing the same thing - blowing the fuse there over and over. I've looked at the wiring, messed with it, started it running and moved the wires around to try and find a short - nothing - start driving and it blows the fuse.... so frustrating.

    Don't know if you are still needing this info - but figured it out finally. F21 is a 20amp fuse. It has 2 wires (Green with Pink Stripe and a Orange with Green stripe). The Green wire goes to the auto-shutdown relay. The Orange wire goes to the fuel injectors, coil, and to multiple other components. I traced mine with the fuse blowing, unplugged ALL connections (including those around the transmission). I turned the key on and one by one started plugging them in. I never found my short, but moved the wires around enough that the short has stopped.



    Since I just put in a new clutch, I'm sure the problem is under the Jeep and a wire had worn against a metal part or something. If it occurs again, I'll start underneath and unplug/plug each connector till I find it.



    Hope this helps,

Can not find fuse for my 1996 jeep cherokee country looked at fuse box under hood and kick panel on left hand side inside for my cruise control.

Is it #20 on the fuse box diagram in the manual? If it is it's the big sliver one at the bottom labeled 4.8amps 12volts. My wipers went out, I replaced that one and that fixed it. I'm talkn' bout the fuse box on the driver side next to your foot. If it's not it then good luck!

I just bought a 1993 jeep wrangler 4wd. The only thing is the horn isn't working. How can I fix this?

First check that the fuse for the horn is good and if it is you will need to replace the horn relay that is found in the under hood high amp fuse box.
