Power Distribution Center (PDC): Service and Repair
The Power Distribution Center (PDC) is serviced as a unit with the engine compartment wire harness. If any internal circuit of the PDC or the PDC
housing is faulty or damaged, the entire PDC and engine compartment wire harness unit must be replaced.
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Disconnect each of the engine compartment wire harness connectors.
3. Remove the fasteners that secure each of the engine compartment wire harness ground eyelets to the vehicle body and chassis components.
4. Disengage each of the retainers that secure the engine compartment wire harness to the vehicle body and chassis components.
5. Remove one PDC mounting screw and disengage the PDC housing by pushing the locking tabs in on the PDC base. The mounting bracket blades
are retained by a snap fit in the PDC mounting slots.
6. Remove the PDC and the engine compartment wire harness from the engine compartment as a unit.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: If the power distribution center (PDC) is being replaced with a new unit, be certain to transfer each of the fuses, fuse cartridges, fusible links
and relays from the old power distribution center to the proper cavities of the new power distribution center.
