Re: 40A fuse - where to get besides Chrysler/Jeep?
I've seen them at Autozone autoparts. Are you talking about the BIG or
little ones? I just checked and they have listings for all the fuses on my
96. They don't list brakelight seperatly but do list the radio. Go to
www.autozone.com then fill in the info for your jeep and then drill down
through the catagories to electrical/fusesand then pick what you want. They
even list stores near you by zip code and tell you if they have it in store.
Advanced auto has the same thing.

Re: 40A fuse - where to get besides Chrysler/Jeep?
Supposedly they're 'micro' fuses or cartridges... The one I picked up at
autozone
was a larger rectangular one, double the size I need than this 40a is a
square one, probably 1/3"
wide all around... I've never seen fuses like this before and the manual
says you have to get
them at Chrysler, but it also says you have to get oil there, too :) Not
sure if all Wranglers had
two fuses panels, but this is the larger one under the hood vs the one in
the glove box...

was a larger rectangular one, double the size I need than this 40a is a

wide all around... I've never seen fuses like this before and the manual
says you have to get
them at Chrysler, but it also says you have to get oil there, too :) Not

two fuses panels, but this is the larger one under the hood vs the one in
the glove box...

Re: 40A fuse - where to get besides Chrysler/Jeep?
Supposedly they're 'micro' fuses or cartridges... The one I picked up at
autozone
was a larger rectangular one, double the size I need than this 40a is a
square one, probably 1/3"
wide all around... I've never seen fuses like this before and the manual
says you have to get
them at Chrysler, but it also says you have to get oil there, too :) Not
sure if all Wranglers had
two fuses panels, but this is the larger one under the hood vs the one in
the glove box...
