Anyone know what the two circuit breakers on the dash are for?  The manual just says "Circuit Breaker".  

One of mine came out and was bouncing around.  This seemed to coincide with a charging issue and the battery almost being dead.  

Almost certainly going along with all of this, there's a fuse holder that goes from the battery to the main harness and then to a a few connectors that go to the ECU, Alt something wire, and also a relay.  The fuse in that fuse holder didn't blow as it should have so melted the fuse holder.  I'd really like to know what size that fuse should be.

My guess is the alternator output goes through one of those circuit breakers, the relay might be involved in the alternator circuit, then through this fuse to the battery?  The circuit breaker terminal maybe touched ground from bouncing around, mostly blowing that fuse but not before melting the holder?

I really appreciate any insight into the issue and answers to those two questions.

The car is a 2013 SR3 1500 with dual battery.

@trakmnky, did you figure this out yet?  Did you take a look at the wiring diagram in the resource library?

I did look at the wiring diagram so really appreciate you posting that.  It looks like I was correct.  The fuse appears to be 30amp.  After replacing that everything is working fine again.
