[Inspection Procedure] - Main Fuse Block

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

2. Open the main fuse block cover.

3. Remove the fuses (excluding the 80A "Main Fuse" because both of its terminals are fixed) and push downward on each "A" terminal (see Figure 1 & 2) with a piece of wood, plastic, etc. by a force of approximately 15 lbs (7 kg) to verify that the terminal is locked in the fuse block and cannot be pushed out of position.
NOTE
A) Check "A" terminals only.
B) Should the fuses and/or terminals be defective, replace with a new one.

4. If the terminals are firmly locked in the fuse block, reinstall the fuses in the correct position (see the fuse block cover), then close the fuse block cover and mark the cover with a blue dot. Proceed to step B, Inspection of Connector (X-04).
