Came 70 miles with no powered anything.Checked the battery cables and eyeballed the large square fuses.Then thanks to this video I pulled the IOD fuse which isn't blown but was corroded because after re-insertion everything was working again.Thank you for a great video.Beats the heck out of looking in Chilton's which would usually require farther reading in the Hayne's manual.
Useful. My 2007 Grand Caravan was having radio and power-door problems. Although the IOD fuse wasn't blown, there was corrosion on the leads, suggesting water had gotten into the fusebox. I replaced it with a clean fuse and will do a thorough contact-cleansing at first opportunity, after making sure I disconnect the battery leads. I hope I won't have to replace the box, but it's working for now.
2005 Chrysler town and country. You are amazing!!!!!!! Radio, and the LED on it wouldn't come on at all, key fob didn't work, door locks did nothing without key in it. ALL FIXED with one fuse. Thank you thank you.
mine wasn't actually blown, it was just corroded to hell. white gunk all the way up into the fuse's plastic case. It was totally the RIGHT fuse to be looking at though and that was the big problem.
Eric!I just want too say THANK YOU! i was amazed that a IOD fuse can cause the car not to crank!! and start.I was going to check the battery,its located under the left fender well,and you have too take the tire off. but thanks to you, i did not have to do that. i am a retired mechanic, and former business owner,and fleet mechanic. THANKS AGAIN!
I did 4 hard resets in my o8 nitro.its been over a month since ive had any issues.I spoke with Matt and his team and the were very helpful.When the tipm is eminent I will purchase from them.
I replaced battery and forgot to tighten it down, hit a bump while driving and panel started going erratic. then van just died. I got out, tightened it down and noticed panel didn't work afterwards. wasn't really sure which fuse to check until I saw this vid. .thanx a lot!
Man! You're the best! A couple months ago I was trying to insert the antenna cable in my radio and foolishly had it on at the time. Fuses were blown. I spent hours looking up the wiring harness and researching fuses. I replaced the fuse for the radio and the dome light to no avail. I took the radio to a shop to have it tested. They told me it worked fine but I might have been a problem with the ground. I was getting frustrated that nothing was working then I thought about the fact that neither the dome light nor the radio were working so I went back to the fuse box to inspect the fuses I hadn't changed. I see that I.O.D. fuse in a little box and decided to research. Your video was at the top of the suggested videos. Once you mentioned the dome light, dash panel and radio I decided to pull it and discovered that it was indeed blown. Less than a minute later my dome light and radio are back in business. Top shelf man. Videos like yours are what make RUclips a great resource. Big thanks from Ohio.
adventureoflinkmk2 Yeah it was a total noob error. 🙃 I was upset that the when I wanted the tuner, the radio kept giving me a "tuner fail" message. When I figured that the antenna wasn't plugged in, I just jumped on it without thinking. Live and learn. Lol
Thank you so much. This video showed pretty much the exact same problems our 03 grand caravan sport was having, replaced the IOD 20 amp fuse and the radio and everything else worked again. All the video posters on RUclips please keep up the excellent work, thanks again.
Man buddy John from Florida here you sure save my day today in my case I woke up this morning and my van wouldn't start I checked all the fuses because my radio also wouldn't come on dash lights wouldn't come on locks wouldn't work and because of the locks I couldn't open the back liftgate I seen your video and watched it and although I had checked the fuses the IOD fuse checked out okay for some reason and yet as soon as I changed it all my problems were solved thanks to you keep up the good work I just subscribed to your Channel thank you again
Good video. Helpful for a frustrating problem. FYI. IOD stands for Ignition Off Draw. You pull this fuse when the car is in extended storage, that is why they have it. It eliminates any parasitic draw.
Holy cow. I appreciate this as I had to take out my factory radio on my 2000 grand caravan and then put it back in and I had all these symptoms. Gonna head outside now to check out my fuses. I looked earlier and they looked fine, but now I'm gonna pull them to double check them. Come to find out it was the IOD 10 amp fuse. Fixed in the time of a traffic light. Note to self--disconnect the negative battery cable--all the time for electrical situations.
You saved me with the IOD Fuse. My 2007 Dodge Caravan died at the Bank in the ATM line. My van had died whyle driving a few weeks before. I checked Error codes it showed P0335 & P0340 I replaced the Crankshaft Posisition Sensor also replaced the Ignition Coil & Finally the PCM which I had programmed from Fs1 for $194.00 After a week it came & was installed. The 1st mechanic told me after he tryed & failed to bring it to the dealer. I then took it to a Great Mechanic who got it started but told me there's no guarantee that it won't happen again. I went to the bank to get $100.00 cash to pay him when it died again? this time I saw the U0168 code & pulled up your video. It worked like a champ. I feel lucky that I'm only out $324.00 I've heard some horribly tragic stories costing Thousand's. Thank you for saving me. I got the $100.00 & gladly paid my mechanic for reflashing the PCM & getting the van started after the other guy who didn't charge me failed. Ps: The IOD fuse seemed to be ok though I replaced it anways after pulling ground & waiting 10 min. My wife told me the Angel's were with me. Thank's my Guardian Angel.
I was trying to sit in my van, awaiting for my drivers licence test this october, But i kept getting pissed that the fact that the radio or the clock wasnt working. So i looked some stuff up on the internet, but they were telling me about a fuse box under the dash, or on the left side of the dash on the door cover, But i removed them and i didnt find anything! But now, i realized that all of that went into one fuse, The IOD fuse. I took it out, and it was all corroded like you would see with a battery in an old device. So i cleaned it out, and replaced it, And now it works! The Clock and the radio work, But you should probably state that this works if there is no fuse box under the dash, or on the left side of the dash. Otherwise, Thanks! It really helped and made my day!
Well done, right on target!!!! Perfect diagnosis of blown fuse symptoms and all it was was this IOD fuse. Hat's off to you, keep up the good work!!! Saved me hundreds not having to go to the dealership.
Great Video, really! I've been Fixing Cars 50-Years. But.. was stumped by Chrysler 10D fuse! Turns out it's IOD Ignition Out! Thanks for your sharing Young Man! Old Fart in A.J. Arizona 👍
Thanks! You just saved be some bucks buying a new fob. Fob would not unlock/lock doors on my 1999 caravan. Found the IOD pulled it, it was ok so put it back and the fob works now. 30 second fix for a problem going on several months!
Mine might be a different fuse, but your video definitely helped me. I plugged my phone recharger in the top hole (the one with the image of a key on the cap), and there was that lovely popping sound plus scent of fried electronics and my radio stopped working. Thanks for making it easy for me to find the fuse box!
+adventureoflinkmk2 I'm going to the auto parts store tomorrow with the hope of just getting the radio going again. I have a road trip coming up soon, and can't live without music for that!
+adventureoflinkmk2 I have two ports, one direct to battery and one keyed (I think that's what the symbols on the covers mean, anyway). The one that goes direct to battery works like it's supposed to work. It was the one with the key logo that made the pop sound and killed the radio section, like the clock and whatnot, but none of the other things you showed in your video died.
I have an 2004 Chrysler seabring and I come across similar problem with no start and no lights. Fan works as others work. Looked it up and a same 20A yellow fuse blown. Put a new one in and it starts and goes. This happened at least 5x . Best if you buy a box of 20A yellow fuses on hand. It will do it again and now you know what it is, where it is and fix it. Saves alot of grief and expenses.
Moms 98 Caravan has flashing lights on console, dinging, wipers don’t go off, windows none, horn and no radio. Yet she gives all her money away to others. I hope this IOD fuse is the problem. Relay switch in the mail. I just want to thank this guy, forgot his name....God bless you, brother!
Thank you very much! I'm so glad you had posted this video and pointed me in the right direction, the iod fuse on my 2007 grand caravan was not blowed but resistive at 1000 ohms impossible to see can just been diagnose by measuring it. Your video lead me to gave it a second check and bingo!!! problem solved thank you again!
You are the best! I changed the IOD fuse and everything is working properly. I was terrified to go to the mechanic and take a chance at them telling me the problem & the price 😱 4$ fuse and ✅ Thank you thank you thank you 😊
Thank you very much my radio and the lights inside my dodge didnt work and i checked the I. O. D fuse was blown and i put a new 15 fuse! Again ty hagd! God bless you
For those that have these and more symptoms, your fuse is ok? Replace the whole TIPM from scrap yard (match your model at scrap) Fixed mine for $15.00 new TIPM from scrap everything back working
See the dealer for what? 2006 Dodge Caravan. It was the fuse box, took a chance. went to scrap bought it for $15.00 and changed it, all works, no codes, no dealer ($735.00+tax in Canada) no nothing just some of my time
Thank you, most helpful video Have same issue with 2009 Avenger Oh yeah, I bought four of the Horns advertised in this Video and they are totally BS; weakest horm I've ever heard!
@@adventureoflinkmk2 Hard to believe one little thing like this fuse could cause so much trouble. Remember. "Back to the futureII" the 1955 Doc Brown counter part said something simular about a blown Japanese transistor. Marty; Hey, Japan makes all the best stuff!
@@adventureoflinkmk2 Darn, actually didn't work for Me but, I do have same thing going on. Dome Light comes on, now with the key and the door locks work on the door with the key on. Tail Lights flash with the fob L/U and head lights turn on in courtesy mode (key off). I think, before now with the key off nothing worked, alerted by radio NOT turning off when ya open the door. I was able to set everything to turn off in 45 seconds, which is half ass good for now.
Yes -- this video lists precisely all that my 2005 Dodge Caravan unexpectedly did the other day -- nothing odd had happened prior to that. So, I did what your video suggested -- EXCEPT that when I removed the IOD 20 Amp fuse as suggested -- just my luck -- it came out with only ONE prong & the other is inside the fuse box & flush with the top of the fuse "receptacle". HELP PLEASE!! :( ** Update an hour later -- situation is worse than I thought -- read online how to use tweezers to remove the prong -- but as I removed the broken fuse & inspected it -- it is burned black (& possibly corroded?) on the yellow plastic of the fuse where the prong was & the metal prong left behind is actually recessed into the hole (I ran a safety pin along the hole to see how much was sticking up of the prong) -- I think I'm going to have to live with no radio, no clock, no interior lights, no door warning dinging, no power locks on any doors, etc. -- thankfully, the power windows work still!! The van is old -- not worth taking in to have it repaired -- unless someone knows what to do at this point!! Appreciate any advice!! Thanks tons!!
2001 T/C LX --- Tighten battery clamp onto each post. Clean them well for contact. Check the Underside of the Fuse box... where battery leaking can damage... It may be the IOD... a WEAK battery can also cause this. But, you did say you were blowing fuses quickly... open/short somewhere... (All I know is that I jumped off my battery, and then the dash panel flipped out. I already had the panel out and disconnected.. put it back, then took off the negative of the battery. Re-tightened positive and negative post connects .. slap tight! Fixed it Quick !) But, I also have seen where shorts affect this BCM, and the dash instruments.
if u have an iod fuse and its fine, dont worry. also check ur EATX Battery fuse if u have one there most likely u do. i spent hundreds on my Chrysler voyager, ran through wires n only thing i didnt do was check the eatx fuse. my van went to limp mode spent my money i had stupidly to figure out it was that. i know ur saying what a dummie lol, its ok i shoulda checked. check ur fuses people. hope this helps
The 20 amp EATX fuse supplies power to two of three power sources to the transmission control module (TCM) mounted under the hood on the passenger side fender aft and left of the washer fluid bottle. When the EATX relay (in PDC) is actuated that fuse supplies power through the relay's output contacts and on to the TCM. It also supplies power to the TCM when the ignition is off. Taken from the Chrysler Minivan forums
Information through a form is always appreciated. however, when your car is broken down you're usually not in a very good mood. the last thing you want is some comedian cracking jokes as he's trying to explain to you what the problem may be. not appreciated at all.
Totally unrelated but what is that cushion thing on the edge of the driver's door on the edge of the power window switch? i know it gets painful to rest my leg against the door panel so im considering putting a mousepad there or something. what did you do?
Mine has all the same exact symptoms, so I just checked the fuse. Unfortunately, the fuse is good. That's gotta mean I have a bad connection somewhere? Sometimes it does this, sometimes the van is perfect. If it does get driven, we dare not shut if off for fear that it won't start again.
@@adventureoflinkmk2 All looked good. I replaced the fuse anyways. The real test will be driving it for a distance, then turning it off. Lol. You video may have pointed me in the right direction though. And for that, I hit the subscribe button. Thank you, sir.
Thanks for representing and showing your support :) but yeah, if the wiring under the fuse box is good (especially to the IOD), then the next step of action would be to take it to the dealer for diagnosis, up to and including the BCM
Nice work here this will save lots of people lots of money.My 2001 chrysler voyager is a plain jane not to many electrical things in her but when the IOD pops alot of these problems do occur.Liked and subbed

Is this Channel alive Still I have a question? My EVIC system doesn’t correspond to any button inputs on Left side on steering wheel? I have checked my fuses I pulled all the fuses associated with the EVIC but still the same…any fixes to this problem?

Ok, hope you can help me...I have a 2012 Fiat 500c POP. I read throughout all the comments to see if anyone mentioned Fiat..but didn't see lol Well, my headlights decide to come on or off whenever they want to, even when the switch is turned on or off...& when they won't turn off when the car is turned off, I have to unplug the negative terminal from the battery. And I couldn't figure out which fuse is the IOD as you mention in your video. And they do flicker at times too. And at times...the sound from my speakers may seem to decrease a little ( volume) If I make any sense? Lol thanx
I have a 2008 Chrysler Town and Country Touring 3.8L that I can't get the interior lights to come on. The rest of the symptoms are there's no dinging, the lights for the backlit dash buttons and analog clock are out and the clock does not work. Also the dash says NO FUSE. The memory for the fog light being on when the automatic headlights come on does not work anymore, but I can turn them on manually still. The interior lights wont turn on when I open the door or when I try to turn them on manually. Map lights won't come on either. I always have the dashboard set up for the miles till empty and it always comes on, when I start the engine, to the temperature and no fuse message. Every fuse in the TIPM has been checked. Is there a relay that could be stuck in the off position that would be getting these symptoms? Like I said everything works fine except for the symptoms that I described. It starts up fine. Any ideas?
hi, i have a 04 dodge ram 1500. my problem is blinking lights on the panel (PND12) and indoor cab lights. what do you recomend me ? sorry by my english i speak spanish. thanks.
I got the same issues as on this video but my IOD fuses aren't blown. Everything was working fine until I pulled them out 2c if they were blown. I have no radio n it drained my battery instantly. How can o fix this issue?
Nicely done, BCM hole that’s funny! I have a 2001 dodge caravan and the radio doesn’t work but if I turn the rear wiper on the radio will turn on and off intermittently. If I were to pull the IOD fuse out of its spot, would that reset the BCM and would that be a fix for the radio
adventureoflinkmk2 I just pulled the IOD fuse but no luck, so I will try checking the wiper and radio circuits later today! Thank you for the tip, it is well appreciated
Nice video, I just had this problem on my 2006 dodge charger after working on the subwoofer and amp. My IOD fuse seems to be ok. Any idea on something else to check?
I have a 2007 jeep grand Cherokee and replaced my iod fuse and the jeep engine wont turn off even with the key off. Everything works with the fuse blown except the radio won’t keep memory. I can’t figure it out
Because the IOD fuse also controls the radio memory. And, if the engine doesn't turn off even with the key off... theres definitely something wrong. I've heard about this with diesels, usually not petrols.. runaway engine?
Just wondering if you could tell me what the newest problem I started experiencing on my 2001 Chrysler town and country lxi but after I start the van before putting it in gear I push the brake and when I do that I hear a click noise in my dash what does the click mean
2001 Dodge Ram van - blower stopped working, then ABS and Air Bag lights went on, then radio stopped working, the power door locks stopped working. I'm a broke old lady and know if I take it in I'll get fleeced. Do you think this may be the problem?
I have a 2015 Grand caravan My IOD is not 20 amps and it's also not easy to get out. It's in a housing I cannot get it out everything says to pull a fourth of an inch that does not happen it doesn't budge there are clamps
Buenos días tengo caravan 2005 3.8 6cil me pasa lo mismo con el fusible oid tengo que kitarlo todos los días para que no me descargue la batería.pero ya estoy cansado de hacer lo mismo una pregunta que me recomienda hacer puede causar daños si sigo asiendo lo mismo
@@CameronDC-Grimes you'll have to find what all circuits fuse 8 feeds from and pull each fuse one by one. Put an ammeter in its place and where the 5 amps comes from is your bogey
@@adventureoflinkmk2 it's the fuse 8 underneath steering wheel. Online diagram says it has: Overhead Console, Rear Wiper, ip lights, rear flipper glass solenoid. But I can't find the problem. How should I test each component. Should I test it with power still to them and use voltage drop. Or should I remove power and use resistance (honestly don't know how I'd do resistance on something I don't think I can reach from beginning to end of circuit. But I was under the impression fuse 8 was the same circuit I don't have the wiring diagram. What would cause a drain on battery when cars off but not blow a fuse. Most of fuse #8 is not on when key-off like: IP lights (which is missing 7 warning light bulbs) overhead console is off with key off, that just leaves: Rear Wiper and rear flipper glass solenoid (whatever that is) Unless you can think of something that doesn't blow a fuse that continuously draws 5A
@@CameronDC-Grimes I'd see about removing that fuse and putting an ammeter in its place. Both with the key out and the key in run As for diagrams, maybe the library has access to Mitchell's or all data or something
@@adventureoflinkmk2 hello, than you for this video. I also tried to work on my radio and while splicing the 12v wire, it accidentally touched the body causing a short..

Hi. I have an 05 Chrysler sebring sedan, 4 cylinder. Just got the lower radiator hose fixed. Drove it. Turned off the ignition, won't start. Headlights and taillights come on, but windows, radio heater doesn't. At first it tried to start and then when I turned the key (it chimed) it would click quickly. Tried to jump start, but nothing.

@@adventureoflinkmk2 it basically happened when I was putting a small thin wire from the radiator fan relay to a ground so that I could have constant fan on but i dint realize I stuck the wire on the positive whole instead of the negative so it did a small spark a bit of smoke came out and that’s what happened
@@AkBulls0305 you're welcome. And it's still likely that you either blew the alternator fuse or battery fusible link (forgot exactly what Chrysler uses)
Mine is doing this also but only clicks when trying to start... And gauges stay on after the truck key is turned on and off so you have to disconnect the battery
Have a 2007 Dodge Caliber. Turn on rear wiper and all gauges and lights go haywire and car seems like it’s gonna die. Also front windshield washer inop. Any suggestions? Pulled rear wiper motor and hooked up to clean power In my shop and operated fine. When hooked up on car it kind of jumps and doesn’t want to go
Additionally I found this... apparently 2007 model year calibers were recalled... over windshield wipers. www.autoevolution.com/news/chrysler-recalls-84000-dodge-calibers-13249.html
Only thing I can suggest is to take a ammeter (preferably 10 or more amps) and put it in line with the negative battery cable and terminal, let it settle for 60 seconds, then pull each fuse one by one and watch where the current drops
I was having the same issues in my 08 caravan,took the fuse out and it was not blown,so I put it back in and every thing is normal?thanks for the video!
Hey Ron -- just curious if you had no power to all of the items mentioned in this video (i.e. no interior lighting, no radio/clock, no power locks working, key not activating doors to close or open, light show on instrument panel, and so on). Asking because until I came upon this comprehensive video -- I had seen others concerning Dodge vehicles where the remote key functions stopped working only -- but other things were unaffected. That may be the difference -- glad to read yours worked!! Mine has complications () with the fuse coming out with only one prong and the other piece is recessed into the hole!! Have a great day!! :)
hey, my dodge caravan 2003 3.8l started doing something similar to this. everytime i put it in contact the wipers just go on and cant stop.... i did have some kinda of steam / smoking come on inside by passangers seat... the battery complete died and went garbage also.... problem is i have this car in europe in my home country and here there isnt any good mechanics who know this car.... i know it can be a fuse or just a wire thats loose or some crap..if u can help plz help me out!!

In need of some dier help. I own a 07 sebring. When driving after about 30 mins all my lights on my dash begin to flicker on and off, as well as all my gauges going crazy. About a year ago they changed my bcm but now the problem has came back. Back then the vehicle would shut off after about 15 mins of that happening. Now it doesn't shut off but lights and gauges go crazy. Is there a chance it's the IOD fuse or the BCM- or any other fuse for that matter? My windows and locks function correctly as well as my radio and interior lighting. just my dash lights go haywire
Jus bought a 96 Chrysler LHS & the remotes won't lock the doors!!! But remotes good & tested at auto store tester!!!! Car runs & door switch locks doors from inside.... but the alarm doesn't activate(from manually pushing) door switch like the 97 LHS!!!
adventureoflinkmk2 gd news went to buddy's house got closer to car tried remotes again one worked doors & trunk!! (Jus barely & stopped again!!) Determined weak battery!? Switched batteries & guessin other remote needs to be programmed to the car... so we r n business now!!! Thanks 4 yur concern!! Jus changed brake pads & on to other repairs b4 handing to my oldest teenager thanks!!!! While at the store both tested good.... but the one that worked the car at first had a weak signal on the stores tester.... so I switched batteries from the 2 & got lucky!!! Was reading 3.06 from one set of batteries... the other set read 3.21 & 3.22.... Gotta love it! I didn't give up! Volt meters do come in handy!! Thanks again! Strange a 3 volt battery at 3.06 volts giving a poor signal!?!?!
I don't know if this was the case in my 2001 Dodge stratus What it does is my dome lights radio and power lock remote don't work but everything else was unaffected and it randomly beeps while I'm driving down the road
Then it's time for more investigation. Look into what is all powered by this fuse (I do explain which features are powered off it) and pull fuses one by one until it stops blowing
I have a 2010 Crystler 300 my power locks seat and radio went out at the same time and the fuse is still good but i have not tried the iOD fuse dp u think it will work?
I have similar issues. but door lock work horn works, dash cluster acting up. Car won't start. The fuse on side of dash for BCM and other stuff blows replace blows again when replaced. Any ideas? I did check fuses under hood. this is a 200O Concorde. btw first started then died now won't turn over tried jumping car. no go.
Well when I am driving the radio will shut off and the gauges go crazy my headlights flicker and just yesterday the van turned off when I was about to make a left turn on a light. 2006 dodge caravan. I will attempt this fix because it's getting annoying. Hopefully this fixes my fob issue as well.
we have an 08 Chrysler town and country touring. yesterday all the light on the dash, were flashing... things were dinging... wipers were "on" without being on... gages dropped to zero while I was driving. changed the iod fuse and its still happening :( any ideas on what it might be would be great
Came 70 miles with no powered anything.Checked the battery cables and eyeballed the large square fuses.Then thanks to this video I pulled the IOD fuse which isn't blown but was corroded because after re-insertion everything was working again.Thank you for a great video.Beats the heck out of looking in Chilton's which would usually require farther reading in the Hayne's manual.
You're welcome.. and they say Chilton's and Haynes are best used as reserve toilet paper ;)
Useful. My 2007 Grand Caravan was having radio and power-door problems. Although the IOD fuse wasn't blown, there was corrosion on the leads, suggesting water had gotten into the fusebox. I replaced it with a clean fuse and will do a thorough contact-cleansing at first opportunity, after making sure I disconnect the battery leads. I hope I won't have to replace the box, but it's working for now.
2005 Chrysler town and country. You are amazing!!!!!!! Radio, and the LED on it wouldn't come on at all, key fob didn't work, door locks did nothing without key in it. ALL FIXED with one fuse. Thank you thank you.
mine wasn't actually blown, it was just corroded to hell. white gunk all the way up into the fuse's plastic case. It was totally the RIGHT fuse to be looking at though and that was the big problem.

Thank you so much. This video showed pretty much the exact same problems our 03 grand caravan sport was having, replaced the IOD 20 amp fuse and the radio and everything else worked again. All the video posters on RUclips please keep up the excellent work, thanks again.
Man buddy John from Florida here you sure save my day today in my case I woke up this morning and my van wouldn't start I checked all the fuses because my radio also wouldn't come on dash lights wouldn't come on locks wouldn't work and because of the locks I couldn't open the back liftgate I seen your video and watched it and although I had checked the fuses the IOD fuse checked out okay for some reason and yet as soon as I changed it all my problems were solved thanks to you keep up the good work I just subscribed to your Channel thank you again
Good video. Helpful for a frustrating problem.
FYI. IOD stands for Ignition Off Draw.
You pull this fuse when the car is in extended storage, that is why they have it.
It eliminates any parasitic draw.
What do you do when the IOD fuse is causing the parasitic draw? Thx
Remove it and put an ammeter in its place. Then remove fuses one by one until the amps drop to 0. Then research what circuits those fuses go to
Holy cow. I appreciate this as I had to take out my factory radio on my 2000 grand caravan and then put it back in and I had all these symptoms. Gonna head outside now to check out my fuses. I looked earlier and they looked fine, but now I'm gonna pull them to double check them. Come to find out it was the IOD 10 amp fuse. Fixed in the time of a traffic light. Note to self--disconnect the negative battery cable--all the time for electrical situations.
You saved me with the IOD Fuse. My 2007 Dodge Caravan died at the Bank in the ATM line. My van had died whyle driving a few weeks before. I checked Error codes it showed P0335 & P0340 I replaced the Crankshaft Posisition Sensor also replaced the Ignition Coil & Finally the PCM which I had programmed from Fs1 for $194.00 After a week it came & was installed. The 1st mechanic told me after he tryed & failed to bring it to the dealer. I then took it to a Great Mechanic who got it started but told me there's no guarantee that it won't happen again. I went to the bank to get $100.00 cash to pay him when it died again? this time I saw the U0168 code & pulled up your video. It worked like a champ. I feel lucky that I'm only out $324.00 I've heard some horribly tragic stories costing Thousand's. Thank you for saving me. I got the $100.00 & gladly paid my mechanic for reflashing the PCM & getting the van started after the other guy who didn't charge me failed.
Ps: The IOD fuse seemed to be ok though I replaced it anways after pulling ground & waiting 10 min. My wife told me the Angel's were with me. Thank's my Guardian Angel.
I was trying to sit in my van, awaiting for my drivers licence test this october, But i kept getting pissed that the fact that the radio or the clock wasnt working. So i looked some stuff up on the internet, but they were telling me about a fuse box under the dash, or on the left side of the dash on the door cover, But i removed them and i didnt find anything! But now, i realized that all of that went into one fuse, The IOD fuse. I took it out, and it was all corroded like you would see with a battery in an old device. So i cleaned it out, and replaced it, And now it works! The Clock and the radio work, But you should probably state that this works if there is no fuse box under the dash, or on the left side of the dash.
Otherwise, Thanks! It really helped and made my day!
Well this van, the odometer says 529,522
But its a new engine tho,
Surprisingly, Only once at 300000 miles

Well done, right on target!!!! Perfect diagnosis of blown fuse symptoms and all it was was this IOD fuse. Hat's off to you, keep up the good work!!! Saved me hundreds not having to go to the dealership.
Great Video, really! I've been Fixing Cars 50-Years. But.. was stumped by Chrysler 10D fuse! Turns out it's IOD Ignition Out! Thanks for your sharing Young Man! Old Fart in A.J. Arizona 👍
You're welcome buddy
Thanks! You just saved be some bucks buying a new fob. Fob would not unlock/lock doors on my 1999 caravan. Found the IOD pulled it, it was ok so put it back and the fob works now. 30 second fix for a problem going on several months!
Hell yeah, that's whassup man... thanks for watching!
Mine might be a different fuse, but your video definitely helped me. I plugged my phone recharger in the top hole (the one with the image of a key on the cap), and there was that lovely popping sound plus scent of fried electronics and my radio stopped working. Thanks for making it easy for me to find the fuse box!
2003 Chrysler Town and Country, factory radio. I forgot to add that.
+adventureoflinkmk2 I'm going to the auto parts store tomorrow with the hope of just getting the radio going again. I have a road trip coming up soon, and can't live without music for that!
+adventureoflinkmk2 I have two ports, one direct to battery and one keyed (I think that's what the symbols on the covers mean, anyway). The one that goes direct to battery works like it's supposed to work. It was the one with the key logo that made the pop sound and killed the radio section, like the clock and whatnot, but none of the other things you showed in your video died.
+adventureoflinkmk2 I'll let you know how it goes!
+adventureoflinkmk2 I replaced the fuse labeled RDO/IP IGN, and it worked like a charm. Radio and clock working. Thanks for your helpful video!
I have an 2004 Chrysler seabring and I come across similar problem with no start and no lights. Fan works as others work. Looked it up and a same 20A yellow fuse blown. Put a new one in and it starts and goes. This happened at least 5x . Best if you buy a box of 20A yellow fuses on hand. It will do it again and now you know what it is, where it is and fix it. Saves alot of grief and expenses.
Yeah i know that's right.. better yet I'd be trying to find why the fuse keeps popping to begin with
Appreciate the tips but good Lord this guy really knows how to turn a2 min video into ten min with nonsense
Afreakingmen! I said much the same thing, myself... and that was after only one minute of watching it! 😄
Moms 98 Caravan has flashing lights on console, dinging, wipers don’t go off, windows none, horn and no radio. Yet she gives all her money away to others. I hope this IOD fuse is the problem. Relay switch in the mail. I just want to thank this guy, forgot his name....God bless you, brother!
I’m subscribing!
Thank you very much... and as for a name, you can see it above my comments here but im joe
Thank you very much! I'm so glad you had posted this video and pointed me in the right direction, the iod fuse on my 2007 grand caravan was not blowed but resistive at 1000 ohms impossible to see can just been diagnose by measuring it. Your video lead me to gave it a second check and bingo!!! problem solved thank you again!
Good man... glad it helped you and you found your problem :)
its blown
Whish that fixed mine..lol
You are the best! I changed the IOD fuse and everything is working properly. I was terrified to go to the mechanic and take a chance at them telling me the problem & the price 😱 4$ fuse and ✅
Thank you thank you thank you 😊
You're welcome... glad to hear it helped and saved you money :) that's what it's all about here
You can go to any auto parts store. It's not a special type of fuse
Yeah was gonna say this isn't a factory specific fuse... It's your standard size mini fuse, forgot what it's called right now
@Mr. Integrity well, was gonna say I'm basing it off my dodge minivan where it was a standard issue small fuse, dunno about Magnums
@Mr. Integrity you're welcome... Sorry I couldn't ultimately be of any help bud
Thanks buddy...
The same happened on my 2014 chrysler 200s , with some differences in the symptoms...it's 7 & 8 fused replaced both
You're welcome.. thanks for watching! Glad to hear it's fixed
It's 7 & 8 what? I can't find an IOD fuse in my 2014 Grand Caravan
I'm guessing its the fuse number
Worked like a dream! My husband was dubious, still making friends with RUclips fixes. But our lock buttons work now!
Thank you very much my radio and the lights inside my dodge didnt work and i checked the I. O. D fuse was blown and i put a new 15 fuse! Again ty hagd! God bless you
JFC that was so painful to watch..
We came for info.
We got the ramblings of a mad man.
JFC this comment was so painful to deal with.
I came here expecting positivity.
But instead I got whining of a crybaby madman.
For those that have these and more symptoms, your fuse is ok? Replace the whole TIPM from scrap yard (match your model at scrap) Fixed mine for $15.00 new TIPM from scrap everything back working
See the dealer for what? 2006 Dodge Caravan. It was the fuse box, took a chance. went to scrap bought it for $15.00 and changed it, all works, no codes, no dealer ($735.00+tax in Canada) no nothing just some of my time
TIPM = Total Integrated Power Module (fuse box)
Thank you, most helpful video Have same issue with 2009 Avenger
Oh yeah, I bought four of the Horns advertised in this Video and they are totally BS; weakest horm I've ever heard!
Good deal. And you're welcome
@@adventureoflinkmk2 Hard to believe one little thing like this fuse could cause so much trouble. Remember. "Back to the futureII" the 1955 Doc Brown counter part said something simular about a blown Japanese transistor. Marty; Hey, Japan makes all the best stuff!
@@adventureoflinkmk2 Darn, actually didn't work for Me but, I do have same thing going on.
Dome Light comes on, now with the key and the door locks work on the door with the key on. Tail Lights flash with the fob L/U and head lights turn on in courtesy mode (key off). I think, before now with the key off nothing worked, alerted by radio NOT turning off when ya open the door. I was able to set everything to turn off in 45 seconds, which is half ass good for now.
Yes -- this video lists precisely all that my 2005 Dodge Caravan unexpectedly did the other day -- nothing odd had happened prior to that. So, I did what your video suggested -- EXCEPT that when I removed the IOD 20 Amp fuse as suggested -- just my luck -- it came out with only ONE prong & the other is inside the fuse box & flush with the top of the fuse "receptacle". HELP PLEASE!! :(
** Update an hour later -- situation is worse than I thought -- read online how to use tweezers to remove the prong -- but as I removed the broken fuse & inspected it -- it is burned black (& possibly corroded?) on the yellow plastic of the fuse where the prong was & the metal prong left behind is actually recessed into the hole (I ran a safety pin along the hole to see how much was sticking up of the prong) -- I think I'm going to have to live with no radio, no clock, no interior lights, no door warning dinging, no power locks on any doors, etc. -- thankfully, the power windows work still!! The van is old -- not worth taking in to have it repaired -- unless someone knows what to do at this point!! Appreciate any advice!! Thanks tons!!
***** How difficult is that?? I mean the taking apart the fuse box!! I thought I was doing well to have managed to get this far!! Bad luck!!!
So remove the negative battery wire first and then replace the fuse then connect the negative battery wire again?
No, just replacing the fuse is fine
2001 T/C LX --- Tighten battery clamp onto each post. Clean them well for contact.
Check the Underside of the Fuse box... where battery leaking can damage...
It may be the IOD... a WEAK battery can also cause this. But, you did say you were blowing fuses quickly... open/short somewhere... (All I know is that I jumped off my battery, and then the dash panel flipped out. I already had the panel out and disconnected.. put it back, then took off the negative of the battery. Re-tightened positive and negative post connects .. slap tight! Fixed it Quick !) But, I also have seen where shorts affect this BCM, and the dash instruments.
if u have an iod fuse and its fine, dont worry. also check ur EATX Battery fuse if u have one there most likely u do. i spent hundreds on my Chrysler voyager, ran through wires n only thing i didnt do was check the eatx fuse. my van went to limp mode spent my money i had stupidly to figure out it was that. i know ur saying what a dummie lol, its ok i shoulda checked. check ur fuses people. hope this helps
Yes sir, always helps to check the fuses, and good tip on the EATX Fuse
Hi saw ur comment what is the eatx fuse for
The 20 amp EATX fuse supplies power to two of three power sources to the transmission control module (TCM) mounted under the hood on the passenger side fender aft and left of the washer fluid bottle. When the EATX relay (in PDC) is actuated that fuse supplies power through the relay's output contacts and on to the TCM. It also supplies power to the TCM when the ignition is off.
Taken from the Chrysler Minivan forums
Also, 2001 Dodge Ram 1500; the I.O.D fuse is by the driver's side door with a black safety over it. Fuse no. 12, 10A
my friend you are a life saver, I have a Dodge RAM 2007 1500 and thanks ro your help, probl3m solved, God Bless you

i cant find my IOD on my 2003 chrysler sebring?? any suggestions???
I couldn't tell what you said about the fuse. That horrible game show music got in the way. But you do know your stuff.
Mines doing same .wife said she smelled wires or plastic burning behind her driver's seat. But I can't find issue. Fuse blows instantly.
I really wish they hadn't used that Price is Right sound so loudly because it drowned out important info they were saying.
This is my exact problem, thank you for making this video.
Thanks for quick tips to trouble shoot simple issues we have in caravan.
Honest, straight forward problem solving. thanks.
You're welcome.. thanks for watching!
It was pretty much anything but straightforward 2 minute video turned into 10
Information through a form is always appreciated. however, when your car is broken down you're usually not in a very good mood. the last thing you want is some comedian cracking jokes as he's trying to explain to you what the problem may be. not appreciated at all.
Totally unrelated but what is that cushion thing on the edge of the driver's door on the edge of the power window switch?
i know it gets painful to rest my leg against the door panel so im considering putting a mousepad there or something.
what did you do?
@@pauld3196 i just put a piece of round foam on that edge, nothing special
Mine has all the same exact symptoms, so I just checked the fuse. Unfortunately, the fuse is good. That's gotta mean I have a bad connection somewhere? Sometimes it does this, sometimes the van is perfect. If it does get driven, we dare not shut if off for fear that it won't start again.
Yeah, open the fuse box, look at the wiring and connectors.. if any are loose, corroded, or whatever clean and patch as necessary
@@adventureoflinkmk2 All looked good. I replaced the fuse anyways. The real test will be driving it for a distance, then turning it off. Lol. You video may have pointed me in the right direction though. And for that, I hit the subscribe button. Thank you, sir.
Thanks for representing and showing your support :) but yeah, if the wiring under the fuse box is good (especially to the IOD), then the next step of action would be to take it to the dealer for diagnosis, up to and including the BCM
Nice work here this will save lots of people lots of money.My 2001 chrysler voyager is a plain jane not to many electrical things in her but when the IOD pops alot of these problems do occur.Liked and subbed

And I couldn't figure out which fuse is the IOD as you mention in your video. And they do flicker at times too. And at times...the sound from my speakers may seem to decrease a little ( volume) If I make any sense? Lol thanx
Thanks for uploading this fix.....it worked for my 2000 Grand Caravan 3.3L Flex Fuel
Thanks I solved my problem whit you video just change my
iod fuse and everything works/ radio ,lights ,doors locks thanks again
I have a 2008 Chrysler Town and Country Touring 3.8L that I can't get the interior lights to come on. The rest of the symptoms are there's no dinging, the lights for the backlit dash buttons and analog clock are out and the clock does not work. Also the dash says NO FUSE. The memory for the fog light being on when the automatic headlights come on does not work anymore, but I can turn them on manually still. The interior lights wont turn on when I open the door or when I try to turn them on manually. Map lights won't come on either. I always have the dashboard set up for the miles till empty and it always comes on, when I start the engine, to the temperature and no fuse message. Every fuse in the TIPM has been checked. Is there a relay that could be stuck in the off position that would be getting these symptoms? Like I said everything works fine except for the symptoms that I described. It starts up fine. Any ideas?
hi, i have a 04 dodge ram 1500. my problem is blinking lights on the panel (PND12) and indoor cab lights. what do you recomend me ? sorry by my english i speak spanish. thanks.
I got the same issues as on this video but my IOD fuses aren't blown. Everything was working fine until I pulled them out 2c if they were blown. I have no radio n it drained my battery instantly.
How can o fix this issue?
Nicely done, BCM hole that’s funny! I have a 2001 dodge caravan and the radio doesn’t work but if I turn the rear wiper on the radio will turn on and off intermittently. If I were to pull the IOD fuse out of its spot, would that reset the BCM and would that be a fix for the radio
Sounds like a short to power in the windshield wiper circuit and/or the radio circuit.. you can try and pull the IOD anyway
adventureoflinkmk2 I just pulled the IOD fuse but no luck, so I will try checking the wiper and radio circuits later today! Thank you for the tip, it is well appreciated

Nice video,
I just had this problem on my 2006 dodge charger after working on the subwoofer and amp. My IOD fuse seems to be ok. Any idea on something else to check?
Did u figure it out
I have a 2007 jeep grand Cherokee and replaced my iod fuse and the jeep engine wont turn off even with the key off. Everything works with the fuse blown except the radio won’t keep memory. I can’t figure it out
Because the IOD fuse also controls the radio memory.
And, if the engine doesn't turn off even with the key off... theres definitely something wrong. I've heard about this with diesels, usually not petrols.. runaway engine?

Wjat would cause me to drain 5A constantly from Fuse # 8 on my 02 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7L but never blew the fuse?
@@CameronDC-Grimes you'll have to find what all circuits fuse 8 feeds from and pull each fuse one by one. Put an ammeter in its place and where the 5 amps comes from is your bogey
@@adventureoflinkmk2 it's the fuse 8 underneath steering wheel.
Online diagram says it has:
Overhead Console, Rear Wiper, ip lights, rear flipper glass solenoid.
But I can't find the problem. How should I test each component.
Should I test it with power still to them and use voltage drop.
Or should I remove power and use resistance (honestly don't know how I'd do resistance on something I don't think I can reach from beginning to end of circuit.
But I was under the impression fuse 8 was the same circuit
I don't have the wiring diagram.
What would cause a drain on battery when cars off but not blow a fuse. Most of fuse #8 is not on when key-off like:
IP lights (which is missing 7 warning light bulbs) overhead console is off with key off, that just leaves:
Rear Wiper and rear flipper glass solenoid (whatever that is)
Unless you can think of something that doesn't blow a fuse that continuously draws 5A

Hey Ron -- just curious if you had no power to all of the items mentioned in this video (i.e. no interior lighting, no radio/clock, no power locks working, key not activating doors to close or open, light show on instrument panel, and so on). Asking because until I came upon this comprehensive video -- I had seen others concerning Dodge vehicles where the remote key functions stopped working only -- but other things were unaffected. That may be the difference -- glad to read yours worked!! Mine has complications () with the fuse coming out with only one prong and the other piece is recessed into the hole!! Have a great day!! :)

hey, my dodge caravan 2003 3.8l started doing something similar to this. everytime i put it in contact the wipers just go on and cant stop.... i did have some kinda of steam / smoking come on inside by passangers seat... the battery complete died and went garbage also.... problem is i have this car in europe in my home country and here there isnt any good mechanics who know this car.... i know it can be a fuse or just a wire thats loose or some crap..if u can help plz help me out!!
Sounds like there may be a short to power somewhere..
What could be the problem for instrument panel on a 2006 Town and Country to flicker back and forth out of control and make the radio go off and on
Prolly BCM... Or common power/ground
I'm having the same problem with my 2012 town and country... did you solve the problem if so what was it?
@@mikeblackman1768 yes I did the problem was loose grounds the wiring to the battery was very loose I hope that's the same problem that you're having it's an easy fix
In need of some dier help. I own a 07 sebring. When driving after about 30 mins all my lights on my dash begin to flicker on and off, as well as all my gauges going crazy. About a year ago they changed my bcm but now the problem has came back. Back then the vehicle would shut off after about 15 mins of that happening. Now it doesn't shut off but lights and gauges go crazy. Is there a chance it's the IOD fuse or the BCM- or any other fuse for that matter? My windows and locks function correctly as well as my radio and interior lighting. just my dash lights go haywire
Jus bought a 96 Chrysler LHS & the remotes won't lock the doors!!! But remotes good & tested at auto store tester!!!!
Car runs & door switch locks doors from inside.... but the alarm doesn't activate(from manually pushing) door switch like the 97 LHS!!!
adventureoflinkmk2 gd news went to buddy's house got closer to car tried remotes again one worked doors & trunk!! (Jus barely & stopped again!!) Determined weak battery!? Switched batteries & guessin other remote needs to be programmed to the car... so we r n business now!!!
Thanks 4 yur concern!!
Jus changed brake pads & on to other repairs b4 handing to my oldest teenager thanks!!!!
While at the store both tested good.... but the one that worked the car at first had a weak signal on the stores tester.... so I switched batteries from the 2 & got lucky!!!
Was reading 3.06 from one set of batteries... the other set read 3.21 & 3.22....
Gotta love it! I didn't give up!
Volt meters do come in handy!!
Thanks again!
Strange a 3 volt battery at 3.06 volts giving a poor signal!?!?!
I don't know if this was the case in my 2001 Dodge stratus
What it does is my dome lights radio and power lock remote don't work but everything else was unaffected and it randomly beeps while I'm driving down the road
What do you do when the fuse pops every time you put it in
Then it's time for more investigation. Look into what is all powered by this fuse (I do explain which features are powered off it) and pull fuses one by one until it stops blowing
I have a 2010 Crystler 300 my power locks seat and radio went out at the same time and the fuse is still good but i have not tried the iOD fuse dp u think it will work?
I have similar issues. but door lock work horn works, dash cluster acting up. Car won't start. The fuse on side of dash for BCM and other stuff blows replace blows again when replaced. Any ideas? I did check fuses under hood. this is a 200O Concorde. btw first started then died now won't turn over tried jumping car. no go.
i have a 2011 T&C. fob doesnt work. cruise control is intermittent. climate control will turn on by itself. do you think my issues are IOD related?
Can you give me more info on the Jenson audio/ video unit ? I have a 06 Caravan. Looks like a nice unit
Well when I am driving the radio will shut off and the gauges go crazy my headlights flicker and just yesterday the van turned off when I was about to make a left turn on a light. 2006 dodge caravan. I will attempt this fix because it's getting annoying. Hopefully this fixes my fob issue as well.
Good luck!
we have an 08 Chrysler town and country touring. yesterday all the light on the dash, were flashing... things were dinging... wipers were "on" without being on... gages dropped to zero while I was driving. changed the iod fuse and its still happening :( any ideas on what it might be would be great
Question does transmission has a fuses also
Where is the fuse for the blinkers???
Blickers?
I can't see any fuses for the blinkers. Do you?@@adventureoflinkmk2
