Dodge Pickup R1500 1997 - IDENTIFICATION POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER

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 vehicle is equipped with an electrical power distribution center located in the engine compartment near the battery. See Fig. 1 . To identify the power distribution center, see Fig. 2 . This power center houses plug-in Maxi fuses which replace most in-line fusible links. The power center also contains Mini fuses and plug-in Mini and Macro ISO relays. A label inside the latching cover of the center identifies each component for ease of replacement, if necessary. Maxi fuses and relays can be obtained from your dealer. For fuse identification, see POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER FUSE IDENTIFICATION table.

Dodge Pickup R1500 1997 - 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 fuse block is located on the extreme left side of the instrument panel. For access, open the driver's door to its full open position. Remove the fuse access cover. See Fig. 3 . For junction block identification, see Fig. 4 . For fuse identification see JUNCTION BLOCK FUSE IDENTIFICATION table.
