CAUTION!

When installing the IPM 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 IPM, 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 will not be using your vehicle for more than 21

days, you may want to take steps to preserve your

battery.
• Disengage the mini-fuse in the Power Distribution

Center labeled IOD (Ignition Off-Draw).

• 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.
