PDC Relay Wedge: Removal

The Power Distribution Center (PDC) cover, the PDC housing lower cover, the PDC relay wedges, the PDC mini fuse wedge, the PDC relay cassettes and the PDC B(+) terminal stud module are available for service replacement. The PDC cover can be simply unlatched and removed from the PDC housing without the PDC being removed or disassembled. Service of the remaining PDC components requires that the PDC be removed from its mounting and disassembled.

1. Remove the PDC housing lower cover.
2. Remove each of the relays from the PDC relay wedge to be removed.
3. From the bottom of the PDC housing, use a small screwdriver or a terminal pick tool (Special Tool Kit 6680) to release the two latches (yellow) that secure the relay wedge to the PDC relay cassette.
4. From the top of the PDC housing, remove the relay wedge from the PDC relay cassette (Fig 1 ).
