No, I haven't removed any fuses since the wiper failure. And there's no remote starter. And as far as I know everything else on the car is working fine. I just need to know what happened to the fuse that was in slot #18 because if it simply got moved to another slot then all I have to do is move it back.

Its Sunday so getting access to work computer for diagrams is not happening.
the wipers operated before - you did not remove fuse #18 - likely was not there before - agree?
SO logic would say looking in wrong place -
lets try this temporary hail mary reset- the key MUST be in your pocket NEVER in ignition switch- in fuse box remove the #5 fuse should have a black clip securing it*
- remove say a prayer @ 15 seconde- THEN REINSTALL - did you hear a clicking sound ?
*squeeze ears to remove cover if still there

I can just wait until tomorrow then. I'm kind of afraid to try what you mentioned because I don't have that much experience working on cars. And plus I took fuse #6 out and put in @ #18 and the wipers are working fine.

This thread reads like some mystery novel 
Ok - who moved or stole fuse #18? Other slots missing fuses but everything works>>?? Ahhhh - generally for features the car doesn't have or sometimes a spare slot and box/panel is used in assorted cars?
Owner's Manual should show the panel like the post Discretesignals posted and that should give locations by # and what it's for.
About now it might be a good idea to check that fuses are all in place and the correct amps as it seems they can move themselves they should go where they belong.
If all is back in order and working there isn't much more to do but wonder why a fuse get lost like this??????????????????

What's slot #5 for. I think I can steal the fuse from there and use it at #18. I pulled it out and it only has one terminal that the fuse plugs into to. I guess it's safe to say that it's just a spare?
And I've checked the owner's manual but it doesn't give info regarding what's what in the Fuse & Relay Center.

Oh my! Just wake up for the night and this! DS it was Col. Mustard in the Conservatory. Bet I have that dang game board somewhere knee deep in dust.
Again, with little to go on it would be nice to know (no chance at software from me which goes where) they are all in place. Look back at that diagram and if there's a fuse in a slot with only one terminal it really can't be doing anything. PLEASE DON'T OVERFUSE ANYTHING!
Cover's on that panel may say perhaps in acronyms which goes where and not uncommon to include a few spares and even a tweezer to pull them [[Makes it easier for a theif]].
Again, again - with everything working with this mystery just would like to know there isn't some 40A fuse in for something (circuit) requiring lots less and burn this car up if something went wrong for real.
Mopars {{Chrysler Motors}} doesn't historically do some funky things electrically or have seen such. Said the panel box could fit a # of different vehicles so empty spots don't mean much.
Been done with all this for a long time now. Fewer Mopars than other makes came my way. I'd probably look again at the Owner's Manual and no surprise if nothing in it but just that fuse #s and Amps, capacities, service intervals and more should be in any or what is it for?
Has this vehicle been messed with other than this? Seriously, I don't know what else to say on this,
T
PS: Print this out and fill in what belongs where.........

Problem solved. And maybe the mystery too.
The wipers weren't working at all when I went in to see what he problem was. So the fuse was already in the wrong cavity before I popped the hood. I'm certain of this because the wiper switch and motor both work.
The only thing I can think of is that when the alternator and battery were going south (end of last month) I might have pulled 18 then and put it back in slot 5 by mistake. But that seems unlikely because you don't even have to pull these fuses to inspect them. They have a window right on top and I've known this. And I'm not the type to just pull fuses at random. But hey, I'm only human so you never know. ;)

For whatever reason it has been found and fixed. Still not sure who went out and mixed things up on you for sure (wink) but let it be.
I'll close up this thread as solved so it doesn't get spammed out later. YOU can ask any moderator to reopen it if you wish,
