Default 2010 Caravan: Break Lights, Rear Turn Signal Issue

Hey all,

New to the forums. I have recently purchased a used 2010 Dodge Caravan. They brake lights and rear turn signal lights are not working. I understand this may be a fuse issue that I could fix cheaply and quickly.

I don't know the first thing about working on cars, so could you tell me in layman's terms which fuse(s) I should pull and replace from the fuse box. (Also can I hand pull these fuses or do I need a tool to pull them?)

Thank you in advance.

(Also I didn't get a manual for the vehicle.)

the fuse is in the fuse box under the hood, it is the M01 fuse and is a 15 amp fuse. It should be listed on the cover of the fuse block.

The owners manuals are online at dodge.com, they don't come with a printed version anymore but they can be purchased.

does the 3rd brake light works?
You probably just need 2 lightbulbs.

Yes. The third break light works. So it might be a bulb issue? That sounds like it would be an easier fix.


Thank you both for the reply.

Thanks again to everyone who contributed. Steak59, you were right. I replaced the lights. It looks like the wrong lights were in there (3457 instead of the 3157's it should have had). I'm not sure if that makes a difference, but now my turn signals and my break lights are working.
