If an accessory on your Dodge car is not working, the first item you want to check is the Dodge car. Dodge car come in different amps for different accessories. It is always a good idea to have a selection of Dodge car of different amperage on hand.

Identifying and Changing the Fuse

Squeeze the locking tab and swing open the lid on the TIPM. Open your owner's manual to the section labeled "Maintaining your Vehicle," then find the subsection labeled "Fuses." Use the list of fuse cavities and descriptions to determine which fuse you need to replace. Remove the fuse from its cavity with the included fuse puller or a pair of needle-nose pliers. Press a new fuse of the same amperage rating into the cavity.

Fuse Swap

The square cartridge fuses -- 20A to 60A in your Durango -- carry high current. The small micro fuses are usually 20A or less. In a pinch, you can swap fuses from non-essential systems, but never swap out a fuse for one with a higher amp rating. For example, if you need a 20A micro fuse, take one from slot "F93" for the cigarette lighter. The lighter is a non-essential system and you can live without it until you get to the parts store to replace the fuse.

Shut off your car before working with the fuses. Find your fuse box, located on the driver's side of the dashboard.

Open the fuse box by pulling it. Look at the inside cover to find out the location of the fuse you need.

Remove the fuse with a fuse puller or gently use your fingers. Inspect the inside wire-if it's blown the wire is either melted or broken.

Replace the blown fuse with one of the same rating. You can find this information written on the inside of the fuse cover. For example, a 1997 Dodge Intrepid uses a 10-amp mini fuse for its back up lights.

Close the fuse box and restart your Intrepid. Verify your electrical issue has been resolved.
