How do you fix a 1986 Cherokee where the fuse that handles parking lights keeps burning out when turn on lights?

1. Check the parking light bulbs. If the parking light bulbs are burned out, they can draw too much current and blow the fuse. Replace any burned out bulbs with new ones.

2. Check the parking light switch. The parking light switch is located on the dashboard. If it is turned on and the parking lights are not working, it may be faulty and need to be replaced.

3. Check the wiring. The wiring for the parking lights may be damaged or loose. Inspect the wiring for any damage and repair or replace any damaged wires.

4. Check the fuse box. The fuse box is located in the engine compartment. Check the fuse that is responsible for the parking lights. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage.

5. If the fuse continues to blow, you may have a short in the wiring. To find the short, you will need to use a multimeter to test the continuity of the wires. Once you have found the short, you will need to repair or replace the damaged wire.
