Learn about Dodge Caravan 2008-2010 fuse box and relay’s locations, functions, and maintenance tips for optimal vehicle electrical system.
The Dodge Caravan (2008-2010) is a versatile minivan available in two main body styles: the standard Caravan and the extended Grand Caravan. Known for its family-friendly design, the Caravan offers features like Stow ’n Go seating, which allows the second and third rows to fold flat for increased cargo space. Both versions are equipped with sliding doors and spacious interiors, making them ideal for passengers and cargo.
The electrical system in the Dodge Caravan is essential for powering features such as the power sliding doors, interior lighting, and entertainment systems. The fuse box and relays are critical components in this system, managing power distribution and protecting the electrical circuits. The fuse box is typically located under the dashboard or in the engine compartment. Relays are used to control high-power components, like the starter motor and cooling fans, ensuring that these systems receive adequate power when needed.

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.
Dodge Caravan 2008-2010 fuse assignment
- The Heated Mirrors, Lower Instrument Panel Power Outlet and Removable Floor Console, when in the front position are fused with self-resetting fuses that are only serviceable by an authorized dealer. The Power Seats are fused by a 30 Amp circuit breaker located under the driver’s seat. The Power Windows are fused by a 25 Amp circuit breaker located under the instrument panel near the steering column. If you experience temporary or permanent loss of these systems, see your authorized dealer for service.
