THIS BULLETIN SUPERSEDES TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 08-016-06, DATED MARCH 22, 2006, WHICH SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM YOUR FILES. ALL REVISIONS ARE HIGHLIGHTED WITH **ASTERISKS** AND INCLUDE THE ADDITION OF A VEHICLE BODY STYLE.
SUBJECT:
Intermittent Operation Of Electrical Components Due To Ignition Off Draw (IOD) Fuse Not Being Fully Seated
MODELS:
2007 (PM) Caliber
**2007 (MK-49) Compass**
2006 - 2007 (DHIDRID1) Ram Truck
2006 - 2007 (PT) Chrysler PT Cruiser
DISCUSSION:
The Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse is used to prevent battery discharge during shipping and long term storage of the vehicles. The IOD fuse is located in the Total Integrated Power Module (TI PM). If the fuse is not completely inserted partial contact of the fuse terminals could occur. When the vehicle is prepped for customer delivery, ensure that the fuse is fully engaged (Fig. 1). The IOD fuse must also be fully released to prevent battery drain from occurring when the vehicle is stored.
When the IOD fuse holder is depressed into the carrier, an initial distinct detent will be felt to overcome the "pre-hold position". You must then continue to push straight down on the IOD pre-holder until no further downward movement is encountered.
NOTE:
If the fuse is not pushed down symmetrically, two detents MAY be felt as each side snaps past the pre-hold position. Push down until no further downward movement is encountered.
On 2006 and 2007 PT and PM vehicles the circuits fed by the IOD fuse are: Radio, Security module & siren (BUX), Wireless Control Module (RKE & SKREEM), Hands Free Module, Satellite Radio, Power Mirrors, Clock, Memory Seat, Amplifier, CCN wake-up with ignition off and Homelink.
On 2006 and 2007 DR, DH or D1 vehicles the circuits fed by the IOD fuse are: Radio, EVIC, Wireless Control Module (RKE & SKREEM), Hands Free Module, Satellite Radio, Video Screen, CCN wake-up with ignition off, Underhood Lamp, CCN Interior Lighting
