2016 DODGE CHALLENGER fuse

The power outlets are labeled with either a “key” or a
“battery” symbol to indicate how the outlet is powered.
Power outlets labeled with a “key” can be powered when
the ignition is in the ON or ACC position, while the
outlets labeled with a “battery” are connected directly to
the battery and powered at all times.
These power outlets can also operate a conventional cigar
lighter unit.
NOTE:
•The front integrated center stack power outlet can be
changed from switched “ignition” to constant “bat-
tery” powered all the time by moving the integrated
center stack fuse #12 in the Rear Power Distribution
Center from fuse location “IGN” to “B+.” Refer to
“Rear Power Distribution Center (Fuses)” in “Main-
taining Your Vehicle.” •
To ensure proper operation, a MOPAR cigar knob and
element must be used.
The front power outlet is located next to the storage area
on the integrated center stack of the instrument panel.

•When replacing a blown fuse, always use an ap-
propriate replacement fuse with the same amp
rating as the original fuse. Never replace a fuse
with another fuse of higher amp rating. Never

material. Failure to use proper fuses may result in
serious personal injury, fire and/or property dam-
age.
• 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.
