REAR AXLE AND 4X4 FRONT DRIVING 
A
XLE FLUID LEVEL    
For normal service, periodic fluid level checks are 
not required. When the vehicle is serviced for other 
reasons the exterior surfaces of the axle assembly 
should be inspected. If gear oil leakage is 
suspected inspect the fluid level   Úpage 476. This 
inspection should be made with the vehicle in a 
level position.
The fluid level should be even with the bottom of 
the fill hole (within 1/4 in (6.4 mm) of edge of hole) 
for the front axle and rear axle.
Drain And Refill
For the proper maintenance intervals   Úpage 394.
Lubricant Selection
For further information  Ú page 476.
NOTE:The presence of water in the gear lubricant will 
result in corrosion and possible failure of differ -
ential components. Operation of the vehicle in 
water, as may be encountered in some off-highway 
types of service, will require draining and refilling 
the axle to avoid damage. Limited-Slip Differentials 
Rear axles equipped with a Limited Slip Differential 
require that 5 oz. (148 ml) Mopar® Limited Slip 
Additive be added to the gear lubricant  
Ú
page 476. The Mopar® Limited Slip Additive 
should be added to the gear lubricant whenever a 
fluid change is made to an axle equipped with a 
Limited Slip Differential.
NOTE:When refilling a limited slip differential axle which 
requires a friction modification additive, the 
additive should be added before the gear lubricant 
to ensure proper additive fill.
TRANSFER CASE 
Fluid Level Check
This fluid level can be checked by removing the 
filler plug. The fluid level should be to the bottom 
edge of the filler plug hole (or within 1/8 inch of the 
bottom) with the vehicle in a level position.
Drain And Refill
For the proper maintenance intervals   Úpage 394.
Selection Of Lubricant
Use only the manufacturer recommended fluid  
Úpage 476.
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 indi -
cated 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 mate -
rial. 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.

428SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE  
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.
 Blade Fuses
External 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!
If it is necessary to wash the engine 
compartment, take care not to directly hit the 
fuse box, and the windshield wiper motors with 
water.

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.

Internal Power Distribution Center 
The Power Distribution Center is located under the 
driver’s side instrument panel. This center 
contains cartridge fuses, micro fuses, relays, and 
circuit breakers.
