hi there i have a 90 xj and when i got it it was running fine but i notice that the fuses where different..like instead of 15 was a 10 or instead of 20 was a 15, and it also was missing some fuses..but then i thought ok im going to replace them with the right ones so i did that and now the jeep wont start unless i jump it and when i give it a jump it runs fine till i turn it off and the battery drains in a min that i try to start again..
and my dumb *** didn't take pics of where the last fuses ***** or nothing now idk what to do..
does anybody know what i should do or have anyway to help me by giving me some info what it might be because i think it should be working with the normal fuses on its normal place, right?
thanks for the time and help.

Does anything stay on with the key removed? Something has to be using up all that juice.

If the battery really is draining in a minute then you have a bad battery. Discharging a good battery that fast would involve smoke, fire and something glowing red.

Start pulling fuses one at a time until you find out which circuit is running your battery down. Do this only after verifying that your battery is in good condition.

u could also buy a fuse buddie at a auto tool store. You plug it in place of a fuse, and it tells you what the amprerge draw is in that cirucuit. Makes short work of finding out which one has the drain, they are only bout 15 bucks

that is a circuit breaker. it will get warm. if it trips then you should hear it.
