FUSE BLOCK
DESCRIPTION
An electrical Fuse Block is located in the left front bumper fascia. It serves to simplify and centralize numerous electrical components, as well as to distribute electrical current to many of the accessory systems in the vehicle.
There are two clips that retain the fuse block cover to the fuse block. The cover can be removed to service the fuses and relays by depressing the clips and lifting off the cover. If fuse block wire terminal or insulator service is required the complete fuse block assembly must be removed, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER DISTRIBUTION/FUSE BLOCK - REMOVAL).
OPERATION
The fuse block houses relays and blade-type fuses. The fuses, relays and fuse block unit are available for service replacement. Refer to Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit diagrams.
