Fuse Block: Description and Operation
Junction Box Location
An electrical Junction Block (JB) is located behind the left lower instrument panel. The JB combines the functions previously provided by a separate
fuseblock module and relay center. It also serves to simplify and centralize numerous electrical components, as well as to distribute electrical current to
many of the accessory systems in the vehicle. It eliminates the need for numerous splice connections and serves in place of a bulkhead connector
between many of the engine compartment, instrument panel, and body wire harnesses.
The JB is positioned on a mounting bracket up and under the left instrument panel. It is secured by four screws. The JB is concealed behind the left
instrument panel.
All of the current entering and leaving the JB does so through wire harnesses, which are connected to the JB through integral connector receptacles
molded into the JB housing. The JB houses blade-type fuses, blade-type automatic resetting circuit breakers, full International Standards Organization
(ISO) relays, and ISO micro-relays. Internal connection of all the JB circuits is accomplished by an intricate network of hard wiring and bus bars.
The fuses, circuit breakers, relays, and are available for service replacement. The JB unit cannot be repaired and is only serviced as an assembly. If any
internal circuit or the JB housing is faulty or damaged, the entire Junction Block assembly must be replaced.
