The key fob will not unlock the doors. The batteries are replaced in the fob and it still won't work. Any way to test the fuses and where are they? Thanks.

Is the any way I can get a diagram of the fuse/relay locations under the hood? I am having a few electrical issues and do not know which fuses or relays are associated with which electrical component. Thanks.
My truck listed above is a 1500 quad cab.

What kind of problems are you trying to solve? Here is a link to an article that might provide more information:

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-a-car-fuse-works

Looks like these all are limited in size, regardless how much I enlarge them. Let me know if you cannot read something.
Last two show fuse ID and what it powers.

Are you just making a comment or are you saying you cannot read these drawings? I can copy sections individually and blow them up if that will help.

There is only a slight amount showing in the pictures that represents what I was asking for. The pictures show where the fuses are but do not list anything other than a number system as to what the circuit goes to. I was trying to ask for a complete diagram showing which fuses/relays/diode operates things such as; fuel pump, radio, interior lighting, gauge cluster lights, windshield wipers, etc.

This is the way they list the fuses, we need what you are looking for specifically to get you the wiring diagrams.

Please let us know, Cheers, Ken

Thanks, Ken.

For a 2005 model, the manufacturer's service manual is on CD, and the electrical section takes up over 1100 pages. I have a suspicion you think all the diagrams only take up a few pages. In fact, for a 1972 Challenger, the entire wiring for the whole car takes up exactly two pages. Boy, we did not realize how easy those were to work on back then.

The online manuals where we copy these diagrams from are indexed by systems, then, for each system, there can be over a dozen diagrams plus variations for different engine sizes and optional equipment. Many of these diagrams are broken up to cover four to eight pages. The reason I asked what kind of problems you were trying to solve is so I could search for the appropriate diagrams. I do not have enough time left in my life to post hundreds of diagrams. You would be better off buying a subscription for just your truck, for one year. As I recall, that costs around $28.00, which is far less than the cost of a manual through the dealership. You can copy the diagrams and save them on your computer for use in the future. Be warned though, you need to copy one diagram at a time, and save it with a program like MS Word and/or MS Paint. I paste them in Word where I can add arrows and call outs, then I copy them to Paint where I can save them in a format that can be uploaded here.

My preference has always been to buy a paper copy of the manufacturer's service manuals for my vehicles, but now the online companies are developing their own wiring diagrams that are very easy to use, and you can highlight individual wires to make them easier to follow. In the Chrysler manuals, you have to follow wires over a whole pile of pages, back and forth. With the online diagrams, all the pertinent pages are included, one right after the other, on the same page. That can save a lot of time.

If you look at the attachments below, they provide the fuse box orientations and what each fuse is for. In addition to just checking a fuse, make sure there is power to it. A fuse may be good and not be receiving power.Here is a link that you may find helpful when testing:
