This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the fuse box locations, diagrams, and amperage ratings for the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Understanding your vehicle's fuse boxes is crucial for diagnosing electrical issues and performing basic repairs.
Quick answer
The 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee typically has three main fuse box locations:
- Under-hood: Located in the engine compartment, usually near the battery.
- Instrument Panel (Dash): On the passenger side, behind a trim panel, often referred to as the "kick panel" fuse box.
- Rear Cargo Area (Trunk): In the rear cargo area, often on the passenger side, behind a trim panel.
Under-Hood Fuse Box
The under-hood fuse box, also known as the Power Distribution Center (PDC), is located in the engine compartment on the passenger side, near the battery. It houses fuses and relays for critical engine components, powertrain, and other high-current systems.
Always verify the fuse layout with the diagram printed on the inside of your fuse box lid, as variations can occur based on trim level and options.

How to Test a Fuse
Testing a fuse is a simple process that can help you quickly identify if a circuit issue is fuse-related. Here
Before you pull a fuse on the 2016 Jeep Grand 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.
