Promaster Fuse Box………

[INTJohn]

Promaster has 2 fuse boxes. It’s a 2023 1500. (Different years are apparently different.)

One is on lower dash by drivers knee. I haven’t had to deal with this one yet but it’s easy access.

This post is about the 2nd fuse box located, basically, under the driver side head light assembly.

This external fuse box cover is fastened down with 3 screws and one of them is located directly under the head light assembly and is an absolute PITA to get to.

First the Promaster manual only tells you about the 2 obvious & easy to get to screws so one gets to spend ALOT of time getting frustrated trying to remove the cover because it’s still held down at one corner by a screw you can’t see, don’t know about and is practically impossible to get to because of said headlight assembly once you finally have concluded there gotta be a 3rd screw holding that EFFING COVER ON!


Above is location pik frum manual
Below note verbiage : two cover screws

WHEW!………

Above pik: problem screw is colored yellow, center right under headlight assembly.

Anyway; after almost 45 minutes I finally got the damn cover off without breaking something - intentionally or not - and was able to remove the blown fuse that is paired to the inside dash 12v plug that initiated all of this.

Needless to say the “third screw problem” has been forever solved by not replacing it. 2 is good enuff.

O might be inclined to reinstall that screw for one reason. The Promaster is know for what getting into the engine compartment when it rains of you wash it. There's 2 drains on each side of the plastic cooling that get plugged and/or can't handle the water. That ELECTRICAL box gets soaked so that 3rd screw might help keep it water tight.
Water also flows in smack bag in the middle section because that cooling is 2 pieces, over lapping in the middle which doesn't work at all.
When rain is coming or I wash mine, I place cardboard deflector over the box and the bulk of the motor. Check out the top of your engine after a rain to see what I mean. Very know issue that all have

Also, I really like the positive and negative connection point under the hood to jump or charge up the coach battery since the placement of the battery is not easy to get to being in the floor
