Re: '97 TJ Door Removal & Dead Battery
On my 2002 TJ it is fuse #4. It goes in and out a lot. Keep something in
the glove box to help pull it out with, like long-nose pliers or the special
pulling thingy they sell for pulling these little fuses.
Do note that it also will deactivate your I-left-the-headlights-on tinkle
bell, so that is the big tradeoff - you need to remember all on your own to
turn off your lights when you get to work.....

It's labeled, so it's easy to find. Mine has been out so long, I lost it.
