Fuse Block: Service and Repair

REMOVAL
The fuseblock module is serviced as a unit with the cross body wire harness. If any internal circuit of the fuseblock module or if the fuseblock module housing is faulty or damaged, the entire fuseblock module and the cross body wire harness unit must be replaced.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the instrument panel assembly from the dash panel.
3. Disconnect each of the cross body wire harness connectors. Refer to Connector Locations in Wiring for the location of the cross body wire harness connector locations.
4. Remove all of the fasteners that secure each of the cross body wire harness ground eyelets to the vehicle body and chassis components. Refer to Connector Locations in Wiring for the location of the cross body wire harness ground locations.
5. Disengage each of the retainers that secure the cross body wire harness to the vehicle body and chassis components. Refer to Connector Locations in Wiring for the location of the cross body wire harness retainer locations.

3. Engage each of the retainers that secure the cross body wire harness to the vehicle body and chassis components. Refer to Connector Locations in Wiring for the location of the cross body wire harness retainer locations.
4. Install all of the fasteners that secure each of the cross body wire harness ground eyelets to the vehicle body and chassis components. Refer to Connector Locations in Wiring for the location of the cross body wire harness ground eyelet locations.
5. Reconnect each of the cross body wire harness connectors. Refer to Connector Locations in Wiring for the location of the cross body wire harness connector locations.
6. Install the instrument panel assembly onto the dash panel.
7. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
