The PDC housing is secured in the engine compart-
ment at three points. Integral mounts on the front
and inboard sides of the PDC housing engage and
latch to stanchions that are integral to the molded
plastic battery tray. An integral bracket on the rear
of the PDC housing is secured with a screw to the
top of the left front inner wheel house. The PDC
housing has a molded plastic cover that includes two
integral latches, one on each side. The PDC cover is
easily opened and removed for service access and has
a convenient fuse and relay layout map integral to
the inside surface of the cover to ensure proper com-
ponent identification.
The PDC unit cannot be repaired and is only ser-
viced as a unit with the headlamp and dash wire
harness. If the internal circuits or the PDC housing
are faulty or damaged, the headlamp and dash wire
harness unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
All of the current from the battery and the gener-
ator output enters the PDC through one cable with
eyelets that are secured with a nut to the one B(+)
terminal stud located just inside the inboard side of
the PDC housing. The PDC cover is unlatched and
removed to access the battery and generator output
connection B(+) terminal studs, the fuses, the relays,
the joint connectors and the engine wire harness in-
line connector. Internal connection of all of the PDC
circuits is accomplished by an intricate combination
of hard wiring and bus bars. Refer to Power Distri-
bution in the index of this service manual for the
location of complete PDC circuit diagrams.
REMOVAL
The Power Distribution Center (PDC) is serviced
as a unit with the headlamp and dash wire harness.
If any internal circuit of the PDC or the PDC hous-
ing is faulty or damaged, the entire PDC and head-
lamp and dash wire harness unit must be replaced.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Disconnect each of the headlamp and dash wire
harness connectors. Refer to Connector Locations
in the Wiring Section of this service manual for the
location of more information on the headlamp and
dash wire harness connector locations.
(3) Remove all of the fasteners that secure each of
the headlamp and dash wire harness ground eyelets
to the vehicle body and chassis components. Refer to
Connector Locations in the index of this service
manual for the location of more information on the
ground eyelet locations.
(4) Disengage each of the retainers that secure the
headlamp and dash wire harness to the vehicle body
and chassis components. Refer to Connector Loca-
tions in the index of this service manual for the loca-
tion of more information on the headlamp and dash
wire harness retainer locations.
(5) Unlatch and remove the cover from the PDC.
(6) Disconnect the engine wire harness in-line con-
nector from the PDC connector receptacle.
(7) Slide the engine wire harness retainer clip
upward and disengage the harness from the trough
on the rear of the PDC housing.
(8) Remove the nut that secures the eyelet of the
battery negative cable generator output take out to
the rearward B(+) terminal stud in the PDC and
remove the eyelet from the stud.
(9) Remove the nut that secures the eyelet of the
battery positive cable PDC take out to the B(+) ter-
minal stud in the PDC and remove the eyelet from
the stud.
(10) Remove the screw that secures the PDC hous-
ing to the left front fender wheel housing.
(11) Disengage
the
latches
for
the
two
PDC
mounts and lift the unit off of the battery tray stan-
chions.
(12) Remove the PDC and the headlamp and dash
wire harness from the engine compartment as a unit.
INSTALLATION
The Power Distribution Center (PDC) is serviced
as a unit with the headlamp and dash wire harness.
If any internal circuit of the PDC or the PDC hous-
