INSTALLATION
1. Position the two front latches of the instrument panel fuse cover within the two locator channel formations on the bottom of the body control module housing (Fig. 19).
2. While applying a slight upward pressure to the instrument panel fuse cover over the front latches, slowly slide the front latches through the locator channels toward the front of the vehicle until the latches exit the front of the locator channels. This will locate the front latches at the mounting slots in the lower housing of the body control module.
3. Apply a slight rearward pressure on the instrument panel fuse cover to engage the front latches in the mounting slots in the lower housing of the body control module.
4. Swing the rear edge (nearest the rear of the vehicle) of the instrument panel fuse cover up toward the junction block.
5. Press firmly upward on the instrument panel fuse cover over the rear latches until the latches snap into place over the tabs on the lower edge of the junction block housing.
6. Press firmly upward on the 16-way data link connector cover formation of the instrument panel fuse cover until the side latch snaps into place over the tab on the outboard side of the instrument panel steering column support bracket.
