Power Distribution Box
Located
under the hood, in the engine compartment. It houses the fuses and
relays for most of the under hood components which are not controlled
by a dash mounted switch (such as the alternator, fuel pump, ECM,
etc.). The fuses and relays are replaced in the same manner as the fuse
panel inside the vehicle. The power distribution box cover is hinged on
one end and utilizes a retaining latch on the other. Simply release the
latch and lift the cover up to gain access to the fuses and relays.
