Why do you need a schematic? Tell us what you have checked.
Were any fuses blown? Do they continue to blow after replacing them?
Well right but itās my Jeep that got struck by lightning not my house
Ummā¦ Bing said I need a schematic an to start looking an what notā¦
An I havenāt had the time to check anything out yetā¦ I work 9 hrs a day an come home an do more work around the house/garage/yardā¦
Car insurance doesnāt cover lightening strikes but homeowners/renters does. Damage to personal property.
Good ideas above. If they donāt pan out, check the voltage at the battery with the engine running. The battery itself must be ok b/c it apparently cranks ok. But you may have a problematic alternator or voltage regulator thing going on. The battery voltage should be 13.5-16 volts with the engine idling, and it should be nearly the same whether you measure at the battery posts or away from the battery. Problematic grounds could cause this symptom too. So while you are set up to do the above, measure between the battery negative post and the chassis ground, and from the battery negative to an engine ground too. Both voltages should be less than 0.25 volt.
Get off the drugs first, the post coherent questions.

Well I checked the 2 fusesā¦
#8 fuse was popped an #17 is still good, now I have to go to the parts store an buy a 15A fuse cause I have none
Iām glad you found some blown fuses, because hopefully that means youāre on home stretch
And apparently youāre really excited, because youāre using really big letters 
No not really excited about it an I donāt have a clue how I did that honestly
Well I know that, an I dont have any type of insurance for anything yet plan on getting all of that really soon
Iād pay some attention to what else is on the #8 circuit (Should be somewhat of a list in your owners manual or a clue on the fuse box). Whatever else is on that circuit could have got fried first and then the fuse blown rather than the other way around or could be both. Got a gum wrapper or a piece of wire to simulate a fuse for a minute? Or take a close look at the fuse box(es). Usually they have spare fuses in them-not necessarily labeled as spare. They know fuses blow and most people except me donāt have them on hand.
I got my response in the wrong thread and it wonāt let me just delete it because its too short so just ignore me as usual.
Iām going to make a claim here I doubt anybody will believe: In 50 years of driving cars, Iāve never had a factory installed fuse blow.
And of course this reminds me of a story, involving cars and romance. In the beginning dating stage, we both got invited to a party at a lake resort about 120 miles north of here. She said she wanted to drive, and asked if I wanted to ride along with her. At about 40 miles into the trip her car stalled and she steered into the emergency lane. She mumbles " this car has some problems but I can probably fix it". She reaches into the glove box, pulls out a fuse, and inserts it into the fuse box down by her left leg. rrr ā pop ā the engine is running again, just like that. She didnāt even need to unbuckle her seat belt. After another 50 miles, same thing. This time it was dark, and out in the country, 2 lane road, but she steers to the shoulder, opens the glove box, installs another fuse, and weāre back on the road. At this point Iām getting a little annoyed. Just before reaching the destination, the headlights go out. Another fuse, weāre back on the road.
I rode back with somebody else ā¦ end of dating with who I now refer to as āthe fuse ladyā ā¦
I find it amazing that otherwise intelligent people have no concept that frequently blowing fuses/popping circuit breakers are indicating a potentially serious electrical problem.
I can make the same statement, in 58 years of driving. At least that I remember, which is a big qualifier these days ā¦
