Learn about Chrysler Cirrus 1994-2000 fuse box and relay’s locations, functions, and maintenance tips for optimal vehicle electrical system.
The Chrysler Cirrus (1994-2000) comes in a sleek four-door sedan body style, known for its smooth, aerodynamic design. Its major features include power windows, air conditioning, and an advanced audio system. Additionally, it offers safety features such as anti-lock brakes and airbags, providing a balanced combination of comfort and security.
The Cirrus relies on its fuse box to protect these electrical components. Located under the dashboard and in the engine compartment, the fuses ensure systems like the lights, power windows, and AC function properly by breaking the circuit in the event of an overload.
The relays control higher-power systems such as the fuel pump, starter motor, and cooling fans. These relays serve as switches, managing large electrical currents with smaller signals. Any malfunction in the relays, such as one controlling the fuel pump, can result in issues like the engine not starting.
Regular checks of the fuses and relays are essential to keeping the Cirrus’s features running reliably, ensuring the electrical systems remain functional and protected.

WARNING
- Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amperage rating.
- A fuse with a too-high amperage could damage the electrical part and cause a fire.
- On no account should fuses be repaired (e.g. patched up with tin foil or wire) as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in the electrical circuit or cause a fire.
- If a fuse blows repeatedly, do not keep replacing it. Instead, have the cause for the repeated short circuit or overload tracked and fixed.
- Terminal and harness assignments for individual connectors will vary depending on vehicle equipment level, model, and market.
