Dodge Dakota 2001 - 2001 ELECTRICAL Fuses & Circuit Breakers - Dakota

Dodge Dakota 2001 - IDENTIFICATION JUNCTION BLOCK

CAUTION:

When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use only a fuse having the correct amperage rating. The use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated may result in a dangerous electrical system overload. If a properly rated fuse continues to blow, it indicates a problem in the circuit that must be corrected.

The junction block is located behind the end cover at the left side of the instrument panel. See Fig. 1 . Pull the cover straight away from the instrument panel for access to the fuses. The junction block contains blade-type mini-fuses, relays, and circuit breakers for high-current circuits. For the junction block identification, see Fig. 2 . For junction block fuse identification, see JUNCTION BLOCK FUSE IDENTIFICATION table.

CAUTION:

When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use only a fuse having the correct amperage rating. The use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated may result in a dangerous electrical system overload. If a properly rated fuse continues to blow, it indicates a problem in the circuit that must be corrected.

NOTE:

If you are leaving your vehicle dormant for longer than 21 days you may want to take steps to protect your battery. You may do this by disconnecting the battery or by disconnecting the Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse in cavity No. 12. The IOD cavity includes a snap-in retainer that allows the fuse to be disconnected, without removing it from the fuse block. Pressing the IOD fuse back into the cavity reconnects it.

For the location of the Power Distribution Center (PDC), see Fig. 3 . To identify the PDC, see Fig. 4 . For fuse identification see POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER FUSE IDENTIFICATION table.
