2022 RAM 1500 Classic Fuses

Fuses are an important part of the 2022 RAM 1500 Classic that keeps the electrical systems safe. These small devices are very important for avoiding electrical overloads and damage to different parts of a vehicle. The RAM 1500 Classic’s electrical circuits are safe and work well because these safety features are kept in the fuse box, which is carefully placed inside the car. Fuses are made to stop the flow of electricity when there is too much power in a circuit. This interruption keeps parts from being harmed by an electrical overload, which could hurt the car’s complex systems. The fuses in the 2022 RAM 1500 Classic have different amperage ratings, which show how much electrical power they can handle. Owners can easily check for blown fuses and repair them if they can get to the fuse box. The state of each fuse can be seen by looking at it. A fuse that has blown will usually have a broken wire inside. To replace a blown fuse, you just need to do a few simple things and follow the instructions in the owner’s guidebook. In the RAM 1500 Classic, the fuses are separated by what they protect, such as the lights, music, power windows, and more. It’s best to use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or real replacement fuses to make sure they work well and keep the vehicle’s electrical system in good shape. In short, the fuses in the 2022 RAM 1500 Classic protect its electrical systems from damage and make sure that everything works smoothly.

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.

CAUTION: If it is necessary to wash the engine compartment, take care not to directly hit the fuse box, and the windshield wiper motor with water.

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.

1. Fuse Element
2. Blade Fuse with a good/functional fuse element
3. Blade fuse with a bad/not functional fuse element (blown fuse)

Power Distribution Center

The Power Distribution Center is located in the engine compartment near the battery. This center contains cartridge fuses, micro fuses, relays, and circuit breakers. A description of each fuse and component may be stamped on the inside cover, otherwise the cavity number of each fuse is stamped on the inside cover that corresponds to the following chart.

CAUTION: When installing the power distribution center cover, it is important to ensure the cover is properly positioned and fully latched. Failure to do so may allow water to get into the power distribution center and possibly result in an electrical system failure.

Replacing Exterior Bulbs

BASE QUAD / PREMIUM BI-HALOGEN: LOW BEAM HEADLAMP, HIGH BEAM HEADLAMP, FRONT PARK AND TURN — IF EQUIPPED

See the following steps to replace:

1. Open the hood.
2. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the six plastic push-in fasteners that secure the upper radiator seal to the grille support and both fender ledges.
4. Remove the two plastic push-in rivets that secure the upper radiator seal to the radiator.
5. Remove the upper radiator seal from the vehicle.
6. Remove the two headlamp assembly attachment screws.
7. Reach into the front wheel house ahead of the front wheel, remove the fastener, and lift the cover over the access hole in the front of the wheel house splash shield. Access to the rear of the lamp can be gained through this access hole.
8. Reach through the access hole of the wheel house splash shield and lift the slide lock upward far enough to disengage it from the lock post on the back of the front lamp unit housing.
9. Remove the headlamp assembly. Grab the outboard edge of the lamp and pull it straight forward to disengage the ball stud from the plastic grommet.
10. Disconnect the wiring harness connectors from the bulb socket.
11. Replace bulb(s) as necessary.
    • CAUTION: Do not contaminate the bulb glass by touching it with your fingers or by allowing it to contact other oily surfaces. Shortened bulb life will result.
    • Always use the correct bulb size and type for replacement. An incorrect bulb size or type may overheat and cause damage to the lamp, the bulb socket, or the lamp wiring.
    • NOTE: There are access covers over both headlamp bulb access holes in the quad front lamp unit housing (if equipped). These covers MUST be reinstalled after the bulb has been replaced.

FOG LAMPS — IF EQUIPPED

See the following steps to replace:

1. Reach under and behind the front fascia/ bumper to access the back of the front fog lamp housing.
2. Disconnect the fog lamp wiring harness connector from the fog lamp bulb.
3. Rotate the bulb counterclockwise a quarter turn to unlock the bulb from the housing.
4. Pull the bulb straight out from the housing.
   • CAUTION: Do not contaminate the bulb glass by touching it with your fingers or by allowing it to contact other oily surfaces. Shortened bulb life will result.

REAR TAIL / STOP, TURN SIGNAL AND BACKUP LAMPS

See the following steps to replace:

1. Remove the two screws that pass through the bed sheet metal.
2. Pull the outboard side of the lamp rearward far enough to unsnap the two receptacles on the outboard side of the lamp housing from the two plastic snap post retainers in the outer box side panel.
3. Disconnect the wiring harness connectors from the bulb socket.
4. Rotate the bulb socket counterclockwise a quarter turn to unlock it from the housing.
5. Pull the bulb straight out of the socket.
   • CAUTION: Do not contaminate the bulb glass by touching it with your fingers or by allowing it to contact other oily surfaces. Shortened bulb life will result.
6. Reverse the procedure to install the bulb and housing.

CENTER HIGH MOUNTED STOP LAMP (CHMSL) WITH CARGO LAMP

See the following steps to replace:
