i need someone who might know a thing or two about electrical, my 89 xj pops the fusable link that comes from the battery to whatever that silver relay with all the stuff plugged into it is, ive replaced that, map sensor, tps, cps, fuel filter, fuel pump, plugs wires , ground strap, battery cables, just about everything i can think of. anyways the problem is anytime i put it in drive (its automatic) it pops that fuse it dosnt do it in park or nuetral even when i give it gas but as soon as i get goin down the street it pops, last time this happened to me i found the horn relay under the dash was fried so replaced it and its been fine til lately. I took my dash apart and have been looking for a fuse, relay, or wire that looks to be a problem but i cant find anything, if you have any idea no matter how trivial post it up please why else read this long a$$ paragraph haha any help will be apriciated thanks for reading, thanks even more if you offer help

 

it appers to be popping from movement of the xj look under neath around any thing that turns when there is forward motion for wires that are touchind moveing pcs

 

possible nss problem when switched to drive

 

i looked all over even pulled and tested all my relays i cant find anything

 

the only things that are in play are nss when you move shifter into drive,and alternator it connects to the little silver box which is called starter relay,and starter

 

i would disconnect the alt theres a small plug on it underneath next to the frame pull it and drive and see what happens this will cause a no charge issue but you will be fine for a short test drive, how are you fixing the fuseable link when it blows each time

 

ok ya thats a good idea ill try that and post the result, thanks for your help

 

oh and its just popping the fuse thats in it i just have to go through fuses like crazy each time i try something new

 

how many things should be connected to the fuel pump relay i have about 5 coming off the main bolt alone

 

free you are a jeepin genious, it was the wire goin to the alt it had a rubber boot on it so you couldnt see it unless you moved the boot back but the wire was stripped a little and grounding out on the frame, what a relief to have that fixed thanks a ton for steering me in tha right direction

 

free you are a jeepin genious, there was a rubber boot covering the wire on the alternater but when i pulled it back you could see that it was a little stripped and touching the frame, what a relief. Thanks a ton for steering me in the right direction
