Where is the 1996 dodge caravan windshield washer fuse van does not have power windows or door locks?

The location of the windshield washer fuse in a 1996 Dodge Caravan without power windows or door locks isn't standardized in readily available online resources. The fuse box location and layout varied slightly depending on options and trim level.

To find it, you need to:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best place to start. The manual should have a diagram of the fuse box(es) and list what each fuse controls.

2. Locate the fuse box(es): There are usually two fuse boxes in a Dodge Caravan of that era: one under the hood and another inside the vehicle, often under the dashboard on the driver's side.

3. Examine the fuse box diagrams: Once you've located the fuse box(es), carefully examine the diagram on the inside cover of the box. Look for a fuse labeled "windshield washer," "washer pump," or something similar. If it is not listed by name, look for the amperage rating associated with the washer motor (this will likely be in the 10-20 amp range) and try to trace the circuit.

4. Check the fuse visually: Once you've identified the suspected fuse, visually inspect it for a blown element (a broken wire inside the fuse). A blown fuse will often appear burnt or have a broken filament.

If you can't find it in the fuse box:

* Check the washer pump itself: It's possible the pump has failed, not the fuse. You might need to access the pump (usually located under the hood near the reservoir) to test it directly.

* Look for wiring problems: A broken or corroded wire in the washer system could also cause the issue.

Remember to always disconnect the negative battery terminal before working with electrical components in your vehicle.
