SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 91
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.
Auxiliary Switches — If Equipped
Four or six auxiliary switches may be located in the
lower switch bank of the instrument panel, and can
be used to power various electrical devices.
The functionality of the auxiliary switches can be
changed via the Uconnect Settings. All switches
can be configured for setting the switch type
operation to latching or momentary, power source
of either battery or ignition, and ability to hold last
state across key cycles.
Auxiliary Switch Location
NOTE:
Holding last state conditions are met when switch
type is set to “latching” and power source is set to
“ignition” within Uconnect Settings.
The auxiliary switches manage the relays that
power four or six blunt cut wires. These wires are
located under the hood to the right, near the
battery.
In addition to the four or six auxiliary switch wires,
a fused battery wire and ignition wire are also
found in this location.
A kit of splices and heat shrink tubing are
provided with the auxiliary switches to aid in the
connection/installation of your electrical devices.
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.
