So in my van I have light switches above the rear view mirror that control the lights tv and radio in the van. They were working fine until 2 days ago none of them turn on. That day when I got in the van I found a slid stainless steel colored chip that looks the a fuse. It was on driver side floor board so maybe it fell out and caused this issue? The chip has no letters or markings at all so I don't know where to put it back in. So my questions are: 1. Where do I put that fuse. 2. If that is not the lighting issue what else could it be? My battery is fine.

Hi,

Is it possible for you to take a picture of the item and upload it for me to see? Also, let me know exactly what is not working.

Take care,
Joe

I believe that is a circuit breaker that should be at the very bottom of the fuse panel under the dash, driver's side. I need you to confirm engine size so I can research possible issues using the wiring schematics. A 5.2 was never used in a Caravan.

If you take that relay and look up under the dash, you should be able to see where it came from. All you do is plug it back into place. If you look at the pic below, check that area and let me know what you find.

Let me know.
