Sounds like you got a short in the system. Have you had any electrical work done? If not, look under seats, there is a cluster of wires, maybe one got pinched when the seat was moved forward/back

EVERY JAG IVE HAD THAT KICKS THAT FUSE HAS ENDED UP BEING THE WIRING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT. MANY TIMES AT A CERTAIN POSTION, WEIGHT IN IT, OR IS A PERMANENT SHORTTO GROUND. UNBOLT THE DRIVERS SEAT, DISCONNECT THE ELECTRCAL CONNECTOR FROM THE SEAT AND SEE IF THE FUSE BLOWS AGAIN, THE LIGHT WILL STAY ON SINCE IT DOESANT SENSE THE SEAT POSITION OR AIR BAG AND PRETENSIONERS, SO DONT GO BY THE LIGHT STAYING ON

THE UNFAMILIAR PERSON SHOULD JUST REMOVE ALL 4 BOLTS HOLDING THE SEAT DOWN, ALTHOUGH I CAN USUALLY DO WHAT I WANT BY UNBOLTING ONLY THE FRONT 2
