The automatic 4wd keeps blowing the fuse, this started happening last winter out of the blue so I took it to the dealer they found that the fuse had blown so they replaced it and $75.00 later I was back in business, well at least for about 5 miles down the road when it blew again. My luck with this dealer is poor at best, so I will ask you if you have an answer to my problem.

There must be a short in the circuit. This would have to be traced down and eliminated. Also has it been checked for the right amperage of fuse?

Problem solved. I read on another site that there was a sensor behind the passenger side kick panel that when the wiring was disconnected and the ignition switch turned on and off 5 times that it would reset the computer, so what the heck it was worth a try and sure enough it worked. Thanks for your input
