Some Dodge Stratus owners report experiencing issues with the ignition fuse consistently blowing when the key is turned on, indicating potential problems within the electrical system. Common causes include a failing starter motor that draws excessive current, leading to fuse failure, and fuel pump issues that can cause the fuse to blow when the ignition is in the run position. Additionally, faulty wiring may contribute to excessive current flow, resulting in repeated fuse blowouts. To address these issues, owners are advised to remove starter and fuel pump relays to isolate the problem, inspect for corrosion at relay contacts or under the fuse box, and replace any faulty components that may be causing the excessive current draw. Prompt diagnosis and resolution of these electrical problems are crucial for the proper functioning of the Dodge Stratus.
