Dodge Dakota R/T 1998 - POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER

CAUTION:

NOTE:

If you are leaving your vehicle dormant for longer than 21 days you may want to take steps to protect your battery. You may do this by disconnecting the battery or by disconnecting the Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse in cavity No. 12. The IOD cavity includes a snap-in retainer that allows the fuse to be disconnected, without removing it from the fuse block. Pressing the IOD fuse back into the cavity reconnects it.

NOTE:

The Junction Block also contains fuses. See JUNCTION BLOCK .

A Power Distribution Center (PDC) is located in the engine compartment. See Fig. 6 . This center contains fuses and relays for circuit that operate only under the hood. See Fig. 7 -Fig. 10 . A label which identifies these components is located on the underside of the cover. Always replace a fuse with a fuse of the same capacity. See FUSE LOAD CAPACITIES under JUNCTION BLOCK.
