The 2008 Wrangler Owner's Manual indicates the key must be used to unlock the steering lock when being towed. It says the key should be in the ACC position, but many people turn it past this to the ON position that that will activate more of the electrical system.

I use an enclosed one now that has a big red plastic key and it has eliminated all my corrosion problems. If all you want to do is remove a fuse though, the one to look for is the IOD fuse.
