How do you change a fuse in a chrysler sebring that has a block around it?

You're probably talking about an IOD fuse, which has a plastic keeper around it. That keeper is there so you can unhook the fuse, yet leave the fuse in place so you can hook it back up.



IOD stands for Ignition Off Draw, and it allows the computers and radio, etc to retain their memory from the battery power. It will prevent interior lights, power locks, keyless remotes, and radio from working (possibly more, too). You can unhook it to prevent the battery from going dead if the vehicle is going to sit for a month or more.



If I remember correct, yours has a hinged cover over the top of it. Use a small screwdriver to pop the cover open, which will allow you to change out the fuse.

Most fuses are set in a %26quot;fuse block%26quot;, the fuse block has any number of wires attached from the rear. You can buy a fuse puller for a few cents or you can try a small pair of needle nose pliers. Be very careful if you use needle nose pliers, they are metal and metal conducts electricity in a vehicle's wiring system just like it does in a house.
