The power distribution system for this vehicle con-
sists of the following components:
• Power Distribution Center (PDC)
• Junction Block (JB)
• Accessory power outlet.
NOTE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SWAP POWER DIS-
TRIBUTION CENTERS (PDC) FROM ONE VEHICLE
TO ANOTHER. MOST OF THESE ASSEMBLIES ARE
VEHICLE FEATURE SPECIFIC AND THEREFORE
NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. ALWAYS USE THE COR-
RECT PART NUMBERED ASSEMBLY WHEN DIAG-
NOSING OR REPLACING A PDC.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - CIGAR LIGHTER/
POWER OUTLET CUSTOMER PREFERENCE
This vehicle was delivered with the Cigar Lighter/
Power Outlet activated only when the ignition is ON.
To convert the lighter/outlet to operate with the igni-
tion OFF, perform the following:
• Remove the left instrument panel end cap from
the left end of the instrument panel.
• Remove fuse #6 in the upper right of the junc-
tion block (Fig. 1) from its “IGN” position.
• Move the fuse slightly right and insert it in the
fuse #6 “BAT” location in the junction block.
• Reinstall the left instrument panel end cap.
CAUTION:
• Many accessories that can be plugged in draw
power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in
use (i.e. cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged
in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge
sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or prevent
engine starting.
• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e. cool-
ers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will degrade the
battery even more quickly. Only use these intermit-
tently and with greater caution.
• After the use of high power draw accessories,
or long periods of the vehicle not being started
(with accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must
be driven a sufficient length of time to allow the
generator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.
