The power distribution system for this vehicle consists of the following components
- Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM)
- Fuse Block
For specific fuse location and types, refer to SPECIFICATIONS .
The power distribution system for this vehicle is designed to provide safe, reliable, centralized, and convenient to access, distribution of the electrical current required to operate all of the many standard and optional factory-installed electrical and electronic powertrain, chassis, safety, comfort and convenience systems. At the same time, these systems were designed to provide centralized locations for conducting diagnosis of faulty circuits, and for sourcing the additional current requirements of many aftermarket vehicle accessory and convenience items.
These power distribution systems also incorporate various types of circuit control and protection features, including fuses and relays.

An electrical Fuse Block is located in the left front bumper fascia. It serves to simplify and centralize numerous electrical components, as well as to distribute electrical current to many of the accessory systems in the vehicle.
There are two clips that retain the fuse block cover to the fuse block. The cover can be removed to service the fuses and relays by depressing the clips and lifting off the cover. If fuse block wire terminal or insulator service is required the complete fuse block assembly must be removed, see REMOVAL .
DESCRIPTION
The inverter module is located in the instrument panel. The A/C outlet is mounted in the center console. The inverter module provides A/C power for user accessories. The inverter converts the 12 Volt DC from the battery system to a 110 Volt AC output.
OPERATION
The AC power outlet receives 12 volts from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) and passes it as an enable signal to the inverter module. The inverter module also receives 12 volts via the TIPM and inverts this to a 110 volt AC output. The enable signal received from the power outlet enables the inverter to convert the received voltage and pass it to the power outlet to power external devices.
