40A fuse - where to get besides Chrysler/Jeep?
Scott Nagle 10 April 2005 05:24:28
	Hi Everyone, After parting with my '97 Wrangler 4 years ago, I finally got a '05 Wrangler SE today and love it... When I was test driving it, the stereo didn't work because he said the fuse was taken out... Uh, ok, no big deal... When I left the dealership, the odometer said "no fuse", the radio worked fine, and I brought it to their attention before I left... Some guy did something under the hood - message gone, I was good to go! That was at 1pm - fast forward to 7pm... I go to turn the headlights on and realize that I have no headlights - turns out a 40A fuse was missing (wondering if he added one or just swapped it)! Just leaving my visit to Wal-Mart, I went to check and they didn't have those 40A fuses available... To get the head lights working, I swapped fuses with something I thought I didn't need (ext lights is how it was marked in the panel)... During my 7 minute drive to Autozone, I had head lights, but upon arriving, I had my wife tap on the brakes just for kicks... None. Grrr.... Guess I had a choice of head lights or brake lights - luckily there was some light left for the day, so I got home fine opting for brake lights... Picked up a 40A female fuse at Autozone, but turned out it was too big. Grr... Two questions now - it was an honest oversight on the dealer's part, and I should have inspected everything on my part too - just assumed everything would be functioning... All dealerships are closed on Sundays around here and I'd really like to utilize my headlights and brakelights... Are there any places that sell these smaller/specialized type fuse, or is it just made for Chrysler/Jeep, and second, anybody know why fuses would be removed in the first place while the Jeeps are waiting for a new owner? Thanks for any help, Scott in NH

	Is this a very small plastic (orange)fuse with 2 spade terminals? You aid you picked up a female fuse so I am wondering what kind of fuse you have.

	I've seen them at Autozone autoparts. Are you talking about the BIG or little ones? I just checked and they have listings for all the fuses on my 96. They don't list brakelight seperatly but do list the radio. Go to www.autozone.com then fill in the info for your jeep and then drill down through the catagories to electrical/fusesand then pick what you want. They even list stores near you by zip code and tell you if they have it in store. Advanced auto has the same thing.

	Supposedly they're 'micro' fuses or cartridges... The one I picked up at autozone was a larger rectangular one, double the size I need than this 40a is a square one, probably 1/3" wide all around... I've never seen fuses like this before and the manual says you have to get them at Chrysler, but it also says you have to get oil there, too Not sure if all Wranglers had two fuses panels, but this is the larger one under the hood vs the one in the glove box...

In some, you may have to ask for them at the counter. This is often true for underhood versions. Not sure which one you need? Bring another, possibly of a different amp value, for a size check. Better stores can and will look the item up for you. Most, if not all, fuses are stock items, not limited to a specific vehicle brand. Think bulbs! <G> Barry

	when I bought my f150 supercrew used from a ford dealer, I took it to another(Chevy) dealer for another "Initial" check. The ford dealer overlooked that the third brake light was burned out. Chevy got a kick out of nailing ford on this....;) Just an idea for others upon purchasing..... It is illegal for a dealer or anyone else to sell a vehicle if the headlights or brake lights don't work though...fuse or no fuse.....

	Matt Macchiarolo wrote:> Thing is, the OP bought a new vehicle. He should go to the dealership and > have them fix it... ABSOLUTELY! I never wrote that we shouldn't. But what does that have to do with the legalities of selling a vehicle with defective lighting? If I had to buy fuses to replace missing parts, on a day the dealership was closed on a brand new vehicle, I'd be back at the dealership the next day. I would expect reimbursement for both the parts and my time, at dealership retail rates! <G> Barry

	Thanks to everyone for their input... I did find the fuse 40A after all - just didn't seem to see it at AutoZone - had to swap out my HVAC for head lights on my drive home Sunday night though... Guess they're not as rare as I thought as I found the same fuse under the hood of an '04 Crown Vic... All is good now and learned to do a double check next time before leaving the dealership... Thanks again! Scott

	Ahhh, the infamous 'off draw fuse'. Sounds like the service-droid wasn't smart enough to determine which one it actually was. I'd keep this in mind when you need warranty service. Congrats on your '05 SE. I just bought an '05 Unl. and I love it too. And of course, today a backward-hat moron in an old Ford Explorer flew past me at 90 mph. on the freeway, then slung a rock into my windshield when he flipped back in front of me.
