Does anyone know if the' spare fuses' and 'spare relays', listed on the fuse panel lid as spares, are actually installed when the dealer gets it? I ask because my wife's Durango needs one and I was going to bum it off my 1500, but all of my spare slots are empty.

Didn't look under my hood, but I was under the hood of our Subaru recently and it DID have the spares in place. Guess you'll have to take a peek!

My 2014 had all the spots populated except for a couple listed as Diesel only options, including about 1/2 dozen for features the truck does not have.

Well someone must have felt that they needed them more than I did. All my 2016's spots are filled for what options are on the truck. Thanks for the responses

Fyi, for anyone wondering. Called dealer today and asked if they had any. The guy said they take them out of most vehicles and keep them as spares for the shop to troubleshoot when necessary. Gave me what I needed for "free" too. Crock of duty if you ask me, but there you go.

Yeah, I had to go get some spares. There were none in the truck anywhere.
