There are references to this in the Wrangler sub-forum, but I didn't see any in the Grand Cherokee sub-forum. Check your fuses! The fuse panel at the front passenger side of the engine compartment, pop the lid off (it has a red + battery post cover on it, you can't miss it) by squeezing the two marked tabs inward and pull the cover off. Then PUSH DOWN all of the fuses in the box. My friend who has a JL 4xE just happened to ask me if I had checked my fuses when I was telling him about some of the weird electrical gremlins I've had with my GC 4xE. We went out in the parking lot and popped the hood, took off the fuse cover, and sure enough more than half of my fuses were not seated properly, and a couple of them were barely seated at all and were able to be pushed in another 2-3mm! Can't say much other than WTF?!? I saw on the Wrangler forum that some have reported their fuses working loose again over time from vibration, so might need to be a regular "check" to perform on the vehicle. I'll definitely check mine again in a few weeks and see if they've stayed seated or if any are working loose again. Jury is still out whether this will make any difference at all in solving mystery electronic issues, but definitely something to pay attention to.

Check Your Fuses in Grand Cherokee 4xE

Honestly, plastic is easier to keep clean in my opinion. If I could have had a plastic load floor with slide rails I probably would have opted for that. I already tossed in a weather tech cargo mat for ease of cleaning anyway.
I’m debating on the weather tech mat or the jeep you like the weather tech?
We like it, but I wish it were a touch more rubbery, but it does exactly what it was supposed to do by catching dog hair, dirt, mud, water, etc...

The mat that weathertech sells for the 4xe is designed for a Jeep with a storage well under the panel mentioned in the rear area of this thread. It will fit the floor beautifully EXCEPT for this back corner where it lacks a side wall. This will allow liquid spilled ( snow melt ) to run out at this back corner. I had a email conversation with Weathertech and they showed me the pictures that verify fit on the GC. It had a well and no fuse panel per this thread. It must have been a non 4xe.

Hey all, new member just took out a lease on a 2022 GC 4xe and loving it so far. Really impressed by the GC’s ability to stay in electric mode as compared to the Ford Fusion Energi that I came from.
In any event I’ve been checking a few threads already and this one about the fuses interested me. Didn’t see an answer however to the question earlier about what exactly the Mod PIM could be in fuse F19A. Thoughts from the group?
Happy to be here and once again part of the Jeep community. My 4xe is quite a change from the last Jeep I owned which was an ‘06 GC 5.7L Hemi!
Thanks all!

I gave the access panel in the rear left of the JGC and it didn't budge. I weighed the odds of a problem caused by what I am certain is a few loose fuses and the breaking of the panel or panel clips. I left mine alone.
The issue of depressible fuses may not actually be an electrical issue. It does smack of poor assembly but I am not sure it matters as far as the operation of the Jeep goes. I had a wrangler a few years ago that had problems with the radio/nav screen locking up. When I heard about loose fuses I popped the cover and depressed the fuses.... Problem solved until a few weeks go by and the radio locked up again. Checked the fuses again... No loose fuses this time. I took for granted the radio would need a reset once in a while. My iPhone does too. I shut down my NAS units periodically as well. Seems like a problem with most computer related hardware.
After saying all that... If I could easily pull my rear panel, I would... just for the sake of curiosity and just in case!
