Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
CHIME Fuse
CHIME Fuse is a 10A Minifuse (1997 - 5A Minifuse) located in the instrument panel junction block. Circuit 440 is powered by the CHIME Fuse. If the chime module, radio, and I/P cluster liftgate ajar (SW only) are operating normally, the fuse is most likely good. If the fuse is blown, determine the cause of the blown fuse and repair. Replace as needed.
