Checking and Replacing Fuses in Jeep Wrangler TJ
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.
Location of Fuse Boxes
Interior Fuses:
The fuse panel is located behind the glove box.
To access the fuse panel the glove box must be removed. It is removed by slipping the glove box strap off the hook and letting the door roll down off its hinges. To reinstall, position the glove box door at an 8 o’clock orientation, engage the hinge hook formations on the lower edge of the glove box door with the hinge pins on the lower edge of the instrument panel. Tilt the upper edge of the glove box door upward toward the instrument panel enough to reattach the glove box strap to the door. Rotate glove box door to closed position. Open and close to insure proper installation.
Underhood Fuses:
The Power Distribution Center (PDC) is located in the engine compartment near the battery. This power center houses plug-in “Cartridge” fuses, ISO relays, and Mini (Micro) fuses. A label inside the latching cover of the center identifies each component for ease of replacement, if necessary. Cartridge and mini (micro) fuses can be obtained from your authorized dealer.
