FUSES
General Information
WARNING!
- When replacing a blown fuse, always use an appropriate replacement fuse with the same amp rating as the original fuse. Never replace a fuse with another fuse of higher amp rating. The use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated may result in a dangerous electrical system overload. If a properly rated fuse continues to blow, it indicates a problem in the circuit that must be corrected. Never replace a blown fuse with metal wires or any other material. Do not place a fuse inside a circuit breaker cavity or vice versa. Failure to use proper fuses may result in serious personal injury, fire and/or property damage.
- Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition is off and that all the other services are switched off and/or disengaged.
- If the replaced fuse blows again, contact an authorized dealer.
- If a general protection fuse for safety systems (air bag system, braking system), power unit systems(engine system, transmission system) or steering system blows, contact an authorized dealer.
The fuses protect electrical systems against excessive current. When a device does not work, you must check the fuse element inside the blade fuse for a break/melt. Also, please be aware that using power outlets for extended periods of time with the engine off may result in vehicle battery discharge.
- Fuse Element
- Blade Fuse with a good/ functional fuse element
- Blade Fuse with a bad/ not functional fuse element (blown fuse)

Replacing Exterior Bulbs
HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE (HID) HEADLAMPS — IF EQUIPPED
The headlamps are a type of high voltage discharge tube. High voltage can remain in the circuit even with the headlamp switch off and the ignition turned to the OFF position. Because of this, you should not attempt to service a headlamp bulb yourself. If a headlamp bulb fails, take your vehicle to an authorized dealer for service.
WARNING!
A transient high voltage occurs at the bulb sockets of HID headlamps when the headlamp switch is turned ON. It may cause serious electrical shock or electrocution if not serviced properly. See an authorized dealer for service.
NOTE:
On vehicles equipped with HID headlamps, when the headlamps are turned on, there is a blue hue to the lights. This diminishes and becomes more white after approximately 10 seconds, as the system charges.
BI-HALOGEN LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM HEADLAMP — IF EQUIPPED
See the following steps to replace:
- Open the hood.
- NOTE: Removal of the air cleaner filter housing may be necessary prior to replacing bulbs in the headlamp assembly on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
- Reach behind the headlamp housing to access the headlamp (outboard) bulb cap.
- Firmly grab the cap and rotate it counterclockwise to unlock it.
- Twist the headlamp bulb assembly counterclockwise, and then pull it out of the headlamp assembly.
- Disconnect the bulb from the wiring assembly and install the replacement bulb.
- Reinstall the bulb and wiring assembly into the headlamp assembly, and then turn it clockwise.
- CAUTION! Do not touch the new bulb with your fingers. Oil contamination will severely shorten bulb life. If the bulb comes in contact with any oily surface, clean the bulb with rubbing alcohol.
- Reinstall the access cap making sure it is seated into the housing and turn cap clockwise to engage locking lugs. Visually, you should be unable to see the blue O-ring gasket. The access cap should be uniformly seated and you should not be able to pull the accesscap off without turning it counterclockwise.
- CAUTION! If the access cap is not installed correctly after bulb replacement, the lamp becomes susceptible to dust, condensation, and water intrusion. This may ultimately lead to an inoperative lamp. If the access cap cannot be installed correctly, please return to an authorized dealer for proper repair or access cap replacement if necessary.
FRONT TURN SIGNAL LAMPS
See the following steps to replace:
- Open the hood.
- NOTE: Removal of the air cleaner filter housing may be necessary prior to replacing bulbs in the headlamp assembly on the driver side of the vehicle.
- Reach behind the headlamp housing to access the turn signal (inboard) bulb cap.
- Firmly grab the cap and rotate it counterclockwise to unlock it.
- Squeeze the two tabs on the side of the bulb socket and pull straight out from the lamp assembly.
- Disconnect the bulb from the wiring connector and install the replacement bulb.
- Install the bulb and connector assembly straight into the lamp until it locks in place.
- Install the turn signal bulb cap in the headlamp housing and rotate clockwise to lock in place.
FRONT FOG LAMPS
The Front Fog Lamps use LED sources that are not serviceable separately. The Front Fog Lamp must be replaced as an assembly; see an authorized dealer.
FRONT/REAR SIDE MARKER LAMPS
The Side Markers use LED lamps that are not serviceable separately. The Side Markers must be replaced as an assembly, see an authorized dealer.
REAR BACKUP LAMP AND TURN SIGNAL LAMPS
The Rear Backup and Turn Signal Lamp use LED sources that are not serviceable separately. The Rear Lamps must be replaced as an assembly, see an authorized dealer for further information.
LICENSE LAMP
The License Lamp uses an LED source that is not serviceable separately. The License Lamp must be replaced as an assembly; see an authorized dealer.

FAQ
The fuse box in the 2022 Chrysler 300 is typically located in the engine bay or the interior of the vehicle. Refer to your owner’s manual for the precise location.
To access the interior fuse box, you usually need to open the driver’s side door and look for a removable panel on the side of the dashboard or near the driver’s footwell.
Fuses protect electrical circuits by breaking the circuit if an electrical overload or short circuit occurs, preventing damage to the wiring and electrical components.
A blown fuse typically has a broken or melted metal strip inside. You can visually inspect the fuses to identify a blown one.
Most often, you only need a pair of needle-nose pliers or a fuse puller tool, which is often provided in the fuse box.
If you don’t have a fuse puller, you can use a pair of needle-nose pliers to carefully grip and pull out the blown fuse.
The amperage rating for replacement fuses should match the rating specified in your owner’s manual or on the fuse itself.
Some Chrysler 300 models may include spare fuses in the fuse box, but it’s a good practice to keep spare fuses on hand.
It’s not recommended to use a fuse with a higher amperage rating, as it can lead to electrical problems or damage to the vehicle’s wiring.
To replace a blown fuse, turn off the vehicle, locate the appropriate fuse, use the fuse puller or pliers to remove the blown fuse, and insert a new one of the same amperage rating.
Yes, the fuse box is typically labeled, indicating which fuses are responsible for specific electrical components. Refer to the fuse box cover or your owner’s manual for details.
The Chrysler 300 may have a master fuse or main fuse that controls power distribution to various electrical systems. Refer to your owner’s manual for information on its location and purpose.
Before replacing fuses, ensure the vehicle is turned off to avoid electrical shock or damage. Always replace fuses with the correct amperage rating to prevent electrical issues.
If a replaced fuse continues to blow, it may indicate an underlying electrical issue. Consult a professional mechanic or Chrysler dealership for diagnostics and repairs.
You can typically find a list of fuse functions in the owner’s manual, which provides details about each fuse’s purpose and location in the vehicle.
