Where is the fuse box located in the Grand Cherokee?
2 Answers
The fuse box in the Grand Cherokee, as well as in the Compass and Patriot models, should be located under the hood on the right side (in front of the steering gear). Avoid storing valuables in the trunk: Here, valuables not only refer to money but also include any expensive items. In reality, the trunk isn't as secure as one might think. Modern thieves can easily open it using current technology. Moreover, people often overlook items stored in the trunk, so owners may not notice missing items until long after they've been stolen. Avoid storing flammable or explosive materials: Such items should not be kept in your vehicle or any public transportation. Especially during hot summers, substances like alcohol or lighters can explode due to high temperatures, leading to unimaginable consequences if ignited. Avoid storing heavy items: Some people view their car as a means to facilitate daily life, frequently loading the trunk with various items. Similarly, those who enjoy road trips often pack heavy luggage in the back. Excessive weight not only increases fuel consumption but also exacerbates tire damage when driving on bumpy roads.
When I first drove a Grand Cherokee, I was also curious about where the fuse box was located. After asking experienced drivers, I learned it has two locations. The one under the hood is in the engine compartment, usually positioned near the battery or close to the windshield washer fluid reservoir—just lift the hood and you’ll spot it easily. The one inside the cabin is right below the steering wheel, under a small panel where your knee might touch; a gentle push opens it. I often use it to troubleshoot issues, like when the cigarette lighter stops working—it’s usually a blown fuse. Replacing it is simple: first, turn off the engine, pull out the faulty fuse, and insert a new one. I recommend checking it regularly, especially before long trips. Taking two minutes to confirm everything’s fine can prevent breakdowns on the road. Once I made it a habit, my car had fewer minor issues, saving money and giving me peace of mind.
