Dodge Charger: VEHICLE MAINTENANCE / Fuses
WARNING!
- When replacing a blown fuse, always use an appropriate replacement
fuse with the same amp rating as the original fuse. Never replace a fuse with
another fuse of higher amp rating. Never replace a blown fuse with metal wires
or any other material. Do not place a fuse inside a circuit breaker cavity or
vice versa. Failure to use proper fuses may result in serious personal injury,
fire and/or property damage.
- Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition is off and that
all the other services are switched off and/or disengaged.
- If the replaced fuse blows again, contact an authorized dealer.
- If a general protection fuse for safety systems (air bag system, braking
system), power unit systems (engine system, trans- mission system) or steering
system blows, contact an authorized dealer.
The fuses protect electrical systems against excessive current.
When a device does not work, you must check the fuse element inside the blade
fuse for a break/melt.
Also, please be aware that when using power outlets for extended periods of time
with the engine off may result in vehicle battery discharge.
