'97 TJ Door Removal & Dead Battery
I removed the doors (full steel) from my 1997 TJ Sport the other day.
I realized once the doors were off that the interior lights on my sound
bar and hard top remained ON, because of the buttons in the door
casings being left in the "open" position. I ended up removing the
bulb from the sound bar light, and disconnecting the wiring harness to
the hard top to avoid a dead battery... Is there a better way?

There should be a fuse marked door-jamb to pull in your whiskey
chest.

Re: '97 TJ Door Removal & Dead Battery
I remember it being fuse 10. It's even labeled "door"
I took mine out the day I drove it home. It shuts that
damn door beeper off with the key in it. I also unplugged
the seat belt buzzer within a week. I always wear it anyway.

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.....
