Power Distribution Center

All of the electrical current distributed throughout this vehicle is directed through the standard equipment Power Distribution Center (PDC). The molded plastic PDC housing is located in the left front corner of the engine compartment. The PDC housing has a molded plastic cover that is retained by two latches.

A small red molded plastic protective cover on the top near the front of the PDC is unsnapped to access the battery/generator cable input connection stud. All of the PDC outputs are through the integral headlamp/dash wire harness, which exits from the rear of the PDC housing.

The PDC houses up to fourteen cartridge fuses, which replace all in-line fusible links. The PDC also houses up to eleven blade-type fuses, up to four full International Standards Organization (ISO) mini relays, and up to eight ISO micro-relays. Internal connection of all the PDC circuits is accomplished by an intricate network of hard wiring and a bus bar.

The fusible link, fuse cartridges, fuses and relays are available for service replacement. The PDC unit cannot be repaired and is only serviced as a unit with the wire harness. If the PDC is faulty or damaged, the wire harness assembly must be replaced.
