Power Interrupt Connector/Switch: Description and Operation
Description
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse that is disconnected within the Integrated Power Module when the vehicle is shipped
from the factory. Dealer personnel are to reconnect the IOD fuse in the Integrated Power Module as part of the preparation procedures performed just
prior to new vehicle delivery. The IOD fuse can be removed to avoid discharging the battery by disconnecting non-essential, low-current memory
functions that are normally on at all times. A detent on the IOD fuse holder allows it to be stored in its normal cavity but out of contact. The holder is
pushed into place to restore power to the systems it supplies. The following circuits are protected by the IOD fuse:
-
Cluster (CCN)
-
Diagnostic Connector
-
Map Lamps
-
Glove Box Lamp
-
Courtesy Lamps
-
Radio
-
Underhood Lamp
