IOD Fuse: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2004 Dodge Caravan, and 2004 Chrysler Town & Country. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse that is removed from its normal cavity in the Integrated Power Module (IPM) when the vehicle is shipped from the factory. Dealer personnel are to remove the IOD fuse from the storage location and install it into the IPM fuse cavity marked IOD as part of the preparation procedures performed just prior to new vehicle delivery.

The IPM has a molded plastic cover that can be removed to provide service access to all of the fuses and relays in the IPM. An integral latch and hinges are molded into the IPM cover for easy removal. A fuse layout map is integral to the underside of the IPM cover to ensure proper fuse and relay identification. The IOD fuse is a 20 ampere blade-type mini fuse and, when removed, it is stored in a fuse cavity adjacent to the washer fuse within the IPM.
