The fuses protect electrical systems against excessive
current.
When a device does not work, you must check the fuse
element inside the blade fuse for a break/melt.
Also, please be aware that using power outlets for
extended periods of time with the engine off may result
in vehicle battery discharge.
Underhood Fuses
The Power Distribution Center (PDC) is located in the
engine compartment near the battery. This center con-
tains cartridge fuses, mini-fuses, micro-fuses, circuit
breakers and relays. A label that identifies each compo-
nent is printed on the inside of the cover.
Before any procedure is done on the PDC, make sure
engine is turned off.
Remove the cover by unlatching the two locks located
at each side of the PDC cover, avoid using screwdrivers
or any other tool to remove the cover, since they may
apply excessive force and result in a broken/damaged
part.
After service is done, secure the cover with its two
locks.
CAUTION!
When installing the power distribution center cover, it
is important to ensure the cover is properly posi-
tioned and fully latched. Failure to do so may allow
water to get into the power distribution center and
possibly result in an electrical system failure.
NOTE:
The function and amperage of the following fuses are
different, depending on vehicle trim level and content.
