Bad ground, possible.

Check your fusible links first. Its a patch panel with what looks like 3 wires conneced into it near the battery and drivers side shock tower.

look at the cable that goes from the battery to the fusible links...Where it connects, there should be a bolt connecting the two wires(1/8-1/4 inch thick). Make sure that bolt isn't touching any other wires. Over time, mine sliced an extremely small cut into another wire. This would cause my 20amp engine fuse(fuse box under dash) to pop....I just happened to find it one night with about 5 guys looking under the hood and luckily saw the small spark. I had to bend the wire back a little and rotate the protective rubber boot.
