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 (DH/DR/D1) 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 (TIPM). 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 . 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
