Default 1996 Dodge Dakota

The F2 (5 amp) fuse in the PDC box has blown twice, so the radio and dome light have become in inop. I was hoping that someone may help in the troubleshooting process. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

My old one kept doing that to me, and the new one has done it once. Got fed up with the old one, and put a 10 amp fuse in, been fine ever since. Didn't play around with the new one, and the first time it blew, I just popped the 10 amp in. However, that's not the correct fix lol

If you have wiring problems and just start adding bigger fuses then what the circuit is capable of holding the the worst that can happen is your truck burn to the ground. If the circuit calls for a 5 amp fuse then find out what component or connection is bad and repair it.
