Where are the fuse boxes located in a 2007 Dodge Caliber?
The 2007 Dodge Caliber has two fuse boxes: one in the engine compartment under the hood and another inside the cabin on the driver's side under the dash.
In this article, we explain exactly where to locate both fuse boxes, how to access them safely, and how to identify and replace fuses using the diagrams typically found on each box cover. Variations can occur by production date and trim, so always verify with your owner's manual if possible.
Engine compartment fuse box
Location
The engine compartment fuse box is a black rectangular box with a removable cover located in the engine bay on the passenger side, near the firewall. The cover is usually labeled FUSE BOX and includes a diagram showing the fuse locations and amperage. Exact placement can vary slightly by production date and trim level.
Access and safety
To access the box, park on a flat surface, turn off the engine, engage the parking brake, and open the hood. Remove the fuse box cover by pulling upward. Inside, you’ll find a diagram that identifies each fuse and its amperage. Use the fuse puller (or needle-nose pliers) to remove or test fuses. Replace fuses only with the same amperage rating as specified on the diagram.
Key steps to inspect and replace fuses:
- Consult the cover diagram to locate the circuit you’re inspecting.
- Visually inspect fuses for a broken filament or use a multimeter to check continuity.
- Replace the blown fuse with one of the same amperage rating.
- Reinstall the cover securely and close the hood.
If a fuse continues to blow after replacement, stop driving and seek professional diagnosis to rule out a short or faulty wiring.
Interior fuse box
Location
The interior fuse box in the 2007 Dodge Caliber is located inside the cabin on the driver’s side, typically behind a small access panel in the kick panel area under the dash or near the left footwell. Access usually requires removing the panel to reveal the fuse tray and relays.
Access and safety
With the ignition off, remove the interior panel to access the fuse block. The cover either pops off or slides away to reveal the fuses and relays. Use the fuse puller (or needle-nose pliers) to remove or test fuses, and replace with the correct amperage. Refit the panel and ensure it’s secure when finished.
Typical interior fuses cover circuits such as the radio, instrument panel lights, power windows, and HVAC controls. Always refer to the diagram on the back of the cover for exact fuse designations.
Key steps to inspect and replace interior fuses:
- Identify the fuse corresponding to the affected interior system using the cover diagram.
- Check for a blown fuse and replace only with the specified amperage rating.
- Reassemble the panel firmly and test the system.
If interior fuses keep blowing, there may be an electrical fault or short in the circuit that requires professional evaluation.
Summary
For a 2007 Dodge Caliber, there are two fuse boxes to know: one in the engine compartment under the hood and one inside the cabin on the driver's side under the dash. Always consult the diagrams on the inside of each box cover for exact fuse designations and amperage. When replacing fuses, use the same rating and seek professional help if fuses continue to blow.
