CAUTION!

When installing the Integrated Power Module

cover, it is important to ensure the cover is properly
positioned and fully latched. Failure to do so may
allow water to get into the Integrated Power Mod-
ule, and possibly result in an electrical system
failure.

When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use

only a fuse having the correct amperage rating. The
use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated may
result in a dangerous electrical system overload. If
a properly rated fuse continues to blow, it indicates
a problem in the circuit that must be corrected.

VEHICLE STORAGE

If you are leaving your vehicle dormant for more than
21 days, you may want to take steps to protect your
battery. You may:
• Remove Cartridge fuse #J13 in the Power Distribution

Center (PDC) labeled Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) and
store it in a safe location within the PDC.

• Or, disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
• Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of

service (i.e., vacation) for two weeks or more, run the
air conditioning system at idle for about five minutes
in the fresh air and high blower setting. This will
ensure adequate system lubrication to minimize the
possibility of compressor damage when the system is
started again.
