Rear Power Distribution Center (Fuses)
There is also a power distribution center located in the
trunk under the spare tire access panel. This center con-
tains fuses and relays. Fuse cavity location and descrip-
tions are printed on the inside of 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.
