Power Distribution Center (PDC)

All of the electrical current distributed throughout this vehicle is directed through the Power Distribution Center (PDC) (1). The molded plastic PDC housing is located in the left front corner of the engine compartment, just behind the battery. The PDC houses the generator cartridge fuse and maxi-type cartridge fuses, which replace all in-line fusible links. The PDC also houses blade-type fuses, relays, and a fuse puller.

All of the current from the battery and the generator output enters the PDC through two cables with eyelets that are secured with nuts to the two B(+) terminal studs located just inside the inboard end of the PDC housing. The PDC cover is unlatched and removed to access the battery and generator output connection B(+) terminal studs, the fuses, the relays, the joint connectors and the engine wire harness in-line connector.
