I have a 91 four door, Laredo, 4X4 XJ that has had the dash lights and radio out for quite some time ( keeps blowing the fuse). I keep replacing the dash light 10 amp fuse under the dash and it keeps blowing every time I turn the headlights on. I took all the dash components out looking for the short, found nothing, I put a 15amp in and stared the jeep. I heard the 15amp fuse blow and then saw the box on the left fender in the engine bay start to smoke !!
I cant find a name for this box and don't know what it is. I pulled the box out and opened it up to find a very thick jelly like substance that appears to be encasing some electronics under there ( I guess to keep it weather resistant) there are also what appear to be rectifiers or some type of heat sinks in the box as well. I'm going to see if I can find one at our pull a part and hope that I found the offensive source of my shorting, however, it would be nice to know what the heck this thing is called. Can anyone give any input? Thank you in advance.
