Thanks for the help. I'm assuming you're meaning the IPM box, right? Unfortunately they are not numbered. Before I start pulling out all of the 20 amp fuses, what is the label?

My contention isn't with the use. I know that using an inverter carries the risk of blowing a fuse. I was cranked about the idea of having to get the car serviced for a blown fuse.

Thanks again for your help, and if you could let me know which fuse is fuse 5, I would appreciate it.

i dont have the back of the cover with the numbers on it. Use your owners manual or get a test light and go from there.

Can I just disconnect the battery and start pulling 20 amp fuses? My test light broke and it may be just as quick to pull fuses.

I just found it. It is the RDO/IP IGN fuse. There is key or numbering of fuses in the manual or on the inside cover. This is definitely something Dodge could be more clear about their manual. In the meantime, I'm returning the inverter to Wal-Mart (I should have known better) since it blew a fuse on my GM without anything even being plugged into it!

ORIGINAL: mudskipper


And onthe same topicof "No Such Thing", I'm reminded,believe it or not butit's true, that I've been to 3 Dodge Chrysler dealerships, all 5-Star Dealerships!! askingthe service people about changing the Air-Con cabin air filter and it was "No Such Thing"!They didn't believe such a filter exist until I showed them Page 310 of the above same manual!! Service people in 5-Star (highest star rating!) Dodge Chrysler (now Daimler Dodge Chrysler) dealerships!!

My manual also mentions the A/C filter, but it truly does not exist. Look for it; it's not there. I learned this when I took the van for regular maintenance which included the filter change. I didn't take it to Dodge. When I couldn't find it, I decided to let a pro change it. He couldn't find it either. Even the diagram in the manual does not match what is really under the passenger side dash.

Default Only Power outlet not working

Need some help here. Only the power outlet stopped working, everything is working just fine. Any ideas??
I am thinking it is not a fuse, because the radio works.

You may want to ck the PDC for any blown fuse, with a 12v test lite or a DVOM.
