Dodge fuse box bulkhead - terminal connectors
Asked by Hagen Oct 16, 2017 at 01:30 PM about the 2015 Dodge Journey SE AWD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
Hi,
I have to make use both trailer and spare fuse on the interior fuse box of an
2015 dodge journey. I already located the fuse box behind the glove
compartment - and the contacts on the box that I need to use - but the
bulkhead connector is missing the terminals. I pinned some out (yes I know
what I am doing) nothing broken - they look like delphi 150 but I am not
sure if I am right - as I can't find the exact data (hight, length etc.)
does anyone know what type they are? - Both small and large ones are in
sought after.

Save your self a lot of trouble and just use a tap fuse.
Thought about that before - technically it would work, but not for road safety inspection in Germany. I am trying to get a DirecLink brake controller approved for on the road use - hydraulic brakes (dexter actuator) on a small trailer - this is really uncommon in the EU - and anything connected to brakes has to be more than perfect to be approved. That is why I am looking for those terminals...
German tech inspection is not something I am familiar with and it must be difficult. Can you solder on connections? I am guessing here but can't you actuate the trailer brakes from your brake light circuit?
Hi, well tech inspection is not that difficult - if everything is stock. Installing a US brake controller will raise questions - but might pass -if done in a "stock" way among other things - no tinkering. Using the brake light circuit is illegal - they did that back in the 1950s - as the brake on the trailer would be digital - either on or off - they banned this way. The brake force must match the cars brake force and automatically adjust to the trailers weight. With pure electric drum brakes EU law requires the controller on the trailer. Using the dexter actuator and hydraulic disk brakes should allow for the controller to be on the car - as those should qualify as hydraulic brake with electronic control - hopefully. I found better pictures on the weg - the terminals in question are dephi GT 150, 280 and 630 metri pack (there is a third type on that locking bulkhead) - even found a site offering them in small numbers. Thank you
