CAUTION!
•When installing the Power Distribution Center
cover, it is important to ensure the cover is prop-
erly positioned 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.
•When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to
use only a fuse having the correct amperage rating.
The use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated
may result in a dangerous electrical system over-
load. If a properly rated fuse continues to blow, it
indicates a problem in the circuit that must be
corrected.
Fuses (Rear Power Distribution Center)
There is also a power distribution center located in the
trunk under the spare tire access panel. This center
contains fuses and relays.

Passenger Seat Switch (if equipped) is fused by the 25
amp circuit breaker in Cavity 12. The Door Modules, the
Driver Power Window Switch, and the Passenger Power
Window Switch are fused by the 25 amp circuit breaker
in Cavity 13. If you experience temporary or permanent

VEHICLE STORAGE
If you are leaving your vehicle dormant for more than 21
days, you may want to take steps to protect your battery.
You may:
•Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
•Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of
service (i.e. vacation) for two weeks or more, run the
air conditioning system at idle for about five minutes
in the fresh air and high blower setting. This will
insure adequate system lubrication to minimize the
possibility of compressor damage when the system is
started again.
