FUSES
WARNING
- When replacing a blown fuse, always use an appro-priate replacement fuse with the same amp rating as the original fuse. Never replace a fuse with another fuse of higher amp rating. 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 autho-rized 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.
GENERAL INFORMATION
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 when using power outlets for extended periods of time with the engine off may result in vehicle battery discharge.
Blade Fuses

FAQs
Fuses are electrical safety devices that are used in the electrical system of vehicles to protect against overcurrent and avoid damaging electrical components.
Typically, the 2020 Jeep Cherokee has two fuse boxes: one within the cabin and one in the engine compartment.
Normally found in the engine compartment, frequently next to the battery, is the main fuse box.
The interior fuse box is normally found within the car, typically under the dashboard or close to the driver’s side.
Consult your owner’s manual for detailed directions on how to access the fuse boxes, but generally speaking, you’ll need to remove a cover or panel.
The amperage ratings of fuses are shown by their various colors. A particular amperage value is associated with each color.
A wire break within a blown fuse is frequently evident. Use a multimeter to check for continuity if you’re unsure.
A new fuse with the same amperage rating should be used to replace the blown one. To prevent electrical issues, use the proper amperage at all times.
No, you never want to use a fuse with a higher amp. It may cause damage to electrical components or possibly present a fire risk.
If a fuse keeps blowing, there can be a deeper electrical issue. For diagnosis and repair, consult a skilled mechanic.
To figure out which fuses are in charge of what operations, see the owner’s manual or the fuse diagram on the fuse box cover.
Yes, by removing the relevant fuse, you can temporarily disable some features. However, this might also have an impact on other systems.
It’s a good idea to keep extra fuses with different amperage ratings in your car just in case.
You can change fuses on your own, but it’s advisable to call a professional if you’re unsure or if the issue continues.
Numerous fuse-related issues can be avoided with routine vehicle maintenance and connection checks. For optimum results, stick to your scheduled maintenance.
