Dodge Charger: VEHICLE MAINTENANCE / Fuses
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. 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, trans- mission system) or steering
system blows, contact an authorized dealer.
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 when using power outlets for extended periods of time
with the engine off may result in vehicle battery discharge.

MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline
to increase octane. Gasoline blended with MMT provides no performance advantage
beyond gasoline of the same octane number without MMT. Gasoline blended with MMT
reduces spark plug life and reduces emissions system performance in some vehicles...
