Start chasing wires, I’d start by unplugging the tcase motor plug, put new fuse in, check if it blows, if it doesn’t, it’s past the plug, if it does then keep chasing it up the harness
Okay thank you very much for your help seems I've got the number 12 fuse problem fixed it's not blowing now with a 30 amp fuse but I'm still getting a traction failed service stabilizing system indication on the instrument clusterwith no indication of what gear I'm in on the four wheel drive system on the dash any help would be appreciated thank you

The buttons are NOT a four wheel drive system. H3s are always in AWD/4X4. They are Transfer Case Control buttons.
Did you recently get your H3 in deep water, like maybe stuck in deep water for a bit? If so, you may have fried your Transfer Case Actuator (T Case Actuator) or shorted its connections.
You should get under it and look around to acquaint yourself with the T Case Actuator bolter to the Transfer Case and its wiring Harness. Inspect the Harness for compromise by frayed wire(s), rubbing, broken insulation or bad connector. When you do get under it, bring a can of CRC Electronics Cleaner with you (this should be standard equipment for anyone with an OLD vehicle). Disconnect the T Case Actuator Harness Connector, spry both sides with the CRC Cleaner, let dry and firmly reconnect. See what that does.
The simpler possibility is that somebody spilled sticky chit on the T Case buttons and they are stuck. With the truck OFF, spray those with the CRC and wipe clean seeing if they each move freely. Start the 3 and again, see if that helped.
There are many, many reasons for the T=Traction Failed message in the DIC, but the above is an easy start.
