Mopar 6102078AA Fuse

The engine compartment fuses and relays protect the electrical circuits of this vehicle found at the right front corner of the engine in an engine compartment fuse and relay box. These boxes might be referred to by dealers as "Integrated Power Module" or "Power Distribution Center", with the Integrated Power Module being situated at the right front corner of the engine compartment and the Rear Power Distribution Center located beneath the spare tire access panel in the trunk. Each fuse guards a particular circuit whose abbreviation is found on its board itself, which comes in "mini" and "maxi" sizes within the box. To remove them, electronic needle-nose pliers or a small plastic fuse-puller tool that is normally contained inside must be used. For determining whether a fuse is blown out, use a test light for power from terminal ends that have had insulation worn away, and only replace fuses with correct amperage rating since different amperages are physically interchangeable but should not be mixed up. Continued blowing of fuses then means that there is a need for circuit repair because it is usually caused by short circuiting. Fusible links protect wiring between alternator and starter, which are melted by overloads, resembling heavy-gauge wire. This entails disconnecting negative cable from battery before replacing blown links and make sure to find out what caused them first.
