12 Volt Fuses in 2016 Challenger

Does any one have a list, schematic, or diagram of the fuses in the 12 volt fuse box under the dash. The manual says it should be on the inside of the cover, but there is no cover. Any help appreciated.
Thanks,

An addendum to my post re: 12-volt fuses. You have to be some kind of contortionist or midget to be able to get in a position that you can even see the damn fuse panel! It is very difficult to read anything while hanging over the driver's seat upside down with head under the dash! I tried wriggling in on my side but got stuck between the seat and the dog house!! I did manage to get my 12 volt tester under there and touch it to a few fuses. Some lit the tester up, some didn't. But I have no idea what any of them go to. This is ridiculous. I did find a black box under the hood that may contain fuses. I believe it was labeled "Power control" or something similar. Of course, I couldn't figure out how to open it and was afraid I would break it so I quit trying. I have the dash cover off to hard wire my Eeztire TPMS and trying to find something to wire it to. If I can find a 12-volt line that is tied to the ignition I could splice into it. Or, if I could get to the fuses and see what I am doing, I could use a fuse tap. Any ideas out there?

Robert,

I can't verify this because the coach is still at the dealer for service.

With the top of the dash off try the red lead (power) for the camera controller. Since the cameras do not display unless the ignition is on I believe the camera controller power is switched.

Again I can't verify this right now but it is a thought.


I know what you mean about accessing that fuse box. I thought about doing the same thing you are trying but put it on hold until after the warranty expires and I have time to remove the driver's seat for better access. I might do that between trips this summer. Pulling the seat will also allow me to put Dynamat on the driver's side floor pan as well. Right now the only thing small enough, that I have found, to get in that area with the seat in place is dirt.

Dave,
The camera is a good idea. I will check it out. Let you know how it works.

Thanks, Beacher. Looks like a very helpful manual. I didn't get one with my 2016 but I doubt there is any difference.

Dave,

I spliced into the camera power line and it works great. Ignition on, TPMS on. Ignition off, TPMS off.

Thanks
