Power Distribution Center: Description
All of the electrical current distributed throughout this vehicle is directed through the standard equipment Power Distribution Center (PDC) (Fig 1 ). The molded plastic PDC housing is located in the left front corner of the engine compartment, just in front of the coolant reservoir bottle. The PDC housing has a molded plastic cover. The PDC cover is easily removed for service access and has a convenient fuse and relay layout label affixed to the inside surface of the cover to ensure proper component identification. The PDC housing is secured in the engine compartment by one screw to the rear of the PDC and two clips on the front side. A small molded plastic protective cover on the front right side of the engine compartment is unsnapped to access the battery/generator cable input connection studs.
