* Under the hood: This box usually contains fuses for major components like the engine and headlights.
* Inside the cab: This box, often located under the dashboard on the driver's side, contains fuses for interior lights, accessories, and other less critical systems. The exact location within the dash varies. Look for a panel that might be marked "Fuses" or have a similar indication.
To find the exact location:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source. It should have a diagram showing the fuse box locations and a fuse panel legend.
2. Check online resources: Websites like Dodge forums or online repair manuals specific to your year and model Dodge Ram might have pictures and descriptions of fuse box locations. Searching for "1988 Dodge Ram fuse box location" will yield some results.
3. Look carefully under the hood and in the dashboard: The fuse boxes are usually somewhat obvious, even without a diagram. Look for rectangular boxes with removable fuses.
Without knowing the exact trim level of your 1988 Dodge Ram, a precise location cannot be given. Using your owner's manual or online resources specific to your truck is crucial for accurate identification.
