Quick answer
The 2017 Jeep Cherokee has two main fuse boxes:
- Under-hood fuse box (Power Distribution Center): Located in the engine bay, near the battery.
- Interior fuse box: Located in the cabin, on the driver's side of the dashboard, accessible when the door is open.
Under-hood Fuse Box (Power Distribution Center)
This fuse box is located in the engine compartment on the driver's side. It contains higher-amperage fuses and relays that control major vehicle systems.

Interior Fuse Box
This fuse box is located on the driver's side of the dashboard. To access it, open the driver's door and remove the small trim panel on the side of the dash.
| Fuse # | Amp | Color | Circuit / Component Protected |
|---|---|---|---|
| F31 | 10A | Red | Instrument Cluster |
| F32 | 15A | Light Blue | Radio/Infotainment System |
| F33 | 10A | Red | Airbag/Occupant Restraint Controller |
| F34 | 20A | Blue | Cigar Lighter/12V Power Outlet |
| F35 | 10A | Red | Interior Lights |
| F36 | 15A | Light Blue | Brake Lights |

Note: Fuse numbers and circuits can vary based on your vehicle's trim level and options. Always consult the diagram on the inside of the fuse box cover to confirm the correct fuse for the circuit in question.
How to Test a Fuse
- Turn off the ignition.
- Locate the fuse box.
- Remove the fuse box cover.
- Identify the suspect fuse.
- Remove the fuse. Use a fuse puller if one is provided.
- Inspect the fuse. Look for a broken filament inside the fuse. If the filament is broken, the fuse is blown.
- Test with a multimeter (optional). Set your multimeter to the continuity setting. Place a probe on each of the fuse's metal tabs. If the multimeter beeps or shows a reading of near-zero, the fuse is good. If it doesn't, the fuse is blown.
Common Blown Fuses on This Vehicle
- Cigar Lighter/12V Power Outlet Fuse: This is one of the most common fuses to blow. It's often caused by a faulty phone charger or other device plugged into the outlet. If this fuse blows, unplug any devices and check the outlet for debris before replacing the fuse.
- Radio/Infotainment Fuse: If your radio or touchscreen is dead, this is the first fuse to check. An internal fault in the radio unit can sometimes cause this fuse to blow.
- Blower Motor Fuse: If your HVAC fan stops working, the blower motor fuse is a likely culprit. The blower motor itself or the blower motor resistor can fail, causing the fuse to blow.

Before you pull a fuse on the 2017 Jeep Cherokee
- Use the label printed on the panel cover or the owner's manual for your exact build. Layouts change with options, model year and build date, so a chart for another truck can be wrong.
- Replace a blown fuse only with the same amp rating. A larger fuse can let wiring overheat.
- A fuse that blows again right away means a short or failing component downstream. Find the cause before replacing it again.
- A good fuse doesn't prove the circuit works — relays, grounds and connectors fail too.
- Disconnect the battery before working near high-current fuses or cables.
