This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the updated (2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014) Dodge Avenger
sedan in troubleshooting an electrical problem by checking or
changing a blown fuse. Owners of other Chrysler Group vehicles with similar fuse panels such as the Dart, Challenger, Durango, Charger, Grand Caravan, 200, 300, RAM C/V Tradesman, Jeep Patriot, Compass and Cherokee may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. Assortment boxes of new mini blade fuses in a variety of amperage ratings (e.g. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25) can be purchased at Wal-Mart, Pep Boys, Advance Auto Parts, Napa or online at Amazon.To remove a fuse, you'll need a pair of needle nose pliers with rubber insulated handles. |

Fuse Location Diagram |
Engine Bay Fuse Panel |
Relays Under Plastic Cover |
All of the fuses
and relays for the Avenger are located in the "Integrated Power Module" on
the right side of the engine bay. Press the two release tabs on the rear edge of the fuse box cover and lift it straight off. There is also a smaller rectangular cover just behind the fuse block that protects four relays. A fuse location diagram is located on the underside of the fuse box cover and also another one in the owner's manual. |

Grab Fuse With Pliers |
Hold Up To Light Source |
Push In New Mini Blade Fuse |
|
||
Gently grab the old
fuse that you'd like to check or change with the needle nose pliers that
have rubber insulated handles. Hold the old fuse up to a light source. If the thin metal strip in the translucent center of the fuse appears to be broken or burnt the fuse is most likely "blown" and needs to be replaced. If the thin metal bar inside the old fuse is intact, it is most likely still good. But since new fuses are so inexpensive it should still be replaced as part of your electrical problem troubleshooting process. You may also check the old fuse with a multimeter tool. Gently push a new mini blade fuse of the same amperage rating (e.g. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25) straight in to the socket. |

Line Up Fuse Box Cover |
Push Cover Down In Place |
Fuse Replaced |
Line up the fuse
box cover over the block and gently push it down in to place. If the electrical problem, such as the wipers, lights, radio, door locks or A/C system not working, is still not resolved by replacing the fuse, you may have a shorted wire or the component needs to be replaced.
