To find it, you should:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source. The manual will have a diagram showing the fuse box location and a fuse layout.
2. Look under the hood: Many 1980s Dodge trucks had the main fuse box under the hood, often near the battery or on the inner fender well.
3. Check the dashboard: Some models might have a smaller fuse panel inside the cabin, usually under the dashboard. This often controls accessories.
4. Look in common areas: If you can't find it using the above, check areas like:
* Under the dash, near the steering column: This is a common location for smaller fuse panels.
* Inside the glove compartment: Less common but possible.
* Under the seat: Less common but possible on some models.
If you don't have the owner's manual, you can try searching online for "1987 Dodge [your specific model] fuse box location" along with the cab type (regular, extended, crew). This should bring up forum posts, repair manuals, or other resources that may have pictures or descriptions of the fuse box location.
Remember to always disconnect the negative battery terminal before working with fuses or electrical components to avoid short circuits.
