I988 Cherokee blows radio fuse

[impala128]

Anyone know why? I hear this is a common problem

Is it the Factory "Jeep" radio?

Is it the Factory "Jeep" radio?

It has no radio and I've isolated the power wires so the aren't touching ground

 

[SteelHeadz]

Are there any other components affected with the radio circuit like interior lamps etc.?

Had the same problem on my '88, 6months ago. Traced it to the cigarette lighter. Every time the lighter was held in (as it wouldn't stay in on its on accord) the fuse blew which also took out the radio. Haven't bothered to fix the lighter, so I just don't use it.
