I have a 2014 gc and my pia of a jet ski trailer has a short again and blew the fuse in my jeep. Found the fuse its a 20amp in spot F29 under the hood with all the other fuses. Now comes the fun part, the auto store i stopped at said they never saw one this size before and did not have it. Went to the jeep dealer, nope they told me to drive to one 10 miles away to find one that they had it in stock.
On the fence about this car and this just adds to it. wtf would you design it with this fuse this way, must be a way to make more money for jeep.
Anyways, does anyone know of any places that stock this or suggestions? Cannot get to another jeep dealer today so thought I would post it to see if anyone had any tips on places to get it. Can't wait to see the cost lol. My trailer did this to my honda, but thankfully that fuse was standard one you could buy in any store.
I'm not so sure that the "fuse" you mention really is a fuse at all. I had exactly the same issue as you, only to find that the fuse had reset.
I think it is some kind of circuit breaker.
Have you checked to make sure that yours is not working?
As I mentioned above, I had the same issue with the same "fuse", only to find that the thing had reset.
Since some are having an issue understanding the problem decided to take some pics. This fuse is not the size of the ones in the stores. It is slightly smaller. Of 608 of the manual f29.
I had a similar issue where I blew one of the trailer turn signal fuses, but I was able to swap in the rear cargo 12v outlet fuse to get by. had not noticed the running lights use yet another special fuse... wonderful!
Jeep dealer in NH has not seen it before either. He could not find the exact part to order so he ordered all the fuses in the fuse box lol. At least this one is helping.
Have had the same issue with this dumb fuse...autozone, o'rileys etc say they have never seen this type fuse. Went to the dealership today. Parts guy brought out what he said fits (same as pics posted earlier). I had the old blown one and it is was obviously different. Basically just taller. When I said it was different I was told the fuse he gave me was an updated version. It was $4.00 so I bought it. Not sold on it being correct. In my opinion it does not seat properly in the fuse box.
Thanks for the part number! That will come in handy one of these days as much as I tow!
Have you considered adding an in line fuse on your trailers harness? Use a 15a fuse and it should blow before the funky one in the Jeep.
