Chrysler Repair: 98 DodgeCaravan Brake lights: fuse location?, fuse block, dodgecaravan


Question
All of my brake lights are out, so I wanted to check the fuse only to find out none of the fuses on the fuse block have the brake lights listed. Do you know which fuse mught control the brake lights?

Answer
Hi Kerry,
If you will take a look for the long narrow box near the battery under the hood, inside you will find that fuse #13 (20 amp) is assigned to the brake light circuit. But before you replace the fuse you might want to measure the resistance between the 'cold' side of the fuse socket (no power on it) and ground while a helper steps on the brake pedal. The resistance should be at least 1 ohm or the fuse will just blow again. If it appears to be less than 1 ohm then I would check the bulb holders for the brake light bulbs which have been reported by others to be failure prone to shorting out. Good luck.
