2004 DODGE STRATUS COUPE fuse

Fuse replacement
1. Before replacing a fuse, always turn off the electrical
item concerned and turn the ignition key to the ªLOCKº
position.
2. Remove the fuse cover.
3. Referring to the fuse location diagrams and corre-
sponding tables, check the fuse that relates to the prob-
lem.4. There is a fuse puller in the cover of the instrument
panel (driver 's side). Remove the fuse puller, clamp it on
the fuse you wish to remove, and pull the fuse straight
out from the fuse block. If the fuse is not blown, some-
thing else must be causing the problem; contact an
authorized dealer to have the problem checked.

5. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity securely into the
fuse block location.
CAUTION!
²Never use a fuse with a capacity larger than that
specified or any substitute, such as wire, foil, etc.
Doing so will cause the circuit wiring to heat up
and could cause a fire.
²If the newly inserted fuse blows again after a
short time, have the electrical system checked by
an authorized dealer to find and correct the cause.
REPLACEMENT OF LIGHT BULBS
Before replacing a bulb, be sure the light is off. Do not
touch the glass part of the new bulb with your bare
fingers; the skin oil left on the glass will evaporate when
the bulb gets hot and the vapor will condense on the
reflector and dim the surface.
Bulb capacity
A bulb should only be replaced with a new bulb of the
same rating and type. The designation can be found on
the base of the bulb.
