CAUTION!

When installing the Integrated Power Module

cover, it is important to ensure the cover is prop-
erly positioned and fully latched. Failure to do so
may allow water to get into the Integrated Power
Module, 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 over-
load. 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 #15 in the Power Distribution

Center labeled Ignition-Off Draw (IOD).

• Store the removed IOD fuse in the Power Distribution

Center location #11 labeled “IOD Storage.”

• 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.
