OVERVIEW
The battery is located behind a cover on the LH (left-hand) side of the engine compartment. The battery sits in a tray and is secured in position with a clamp plate and bolt assembly. The battery supplies electrical power to the starter motor, generator and BJB (battery junction box).
The BJB (battery junction box) is mounted adjacent the LH (left-hand) front suspension turret. The BJB (battery junction box) contains fusible links, blade and J-case fuses, and relays to distribute electrical power to various vehicle systems and junction boxes.

NOTE:
The fusible links are mounted on the inboard side of the BJB (battery junction box) behind a series of removable covers.
The CJB (central junction box) is mounted behind the glovebox and receives its main power supply from the BJB (battery junction box). In addition to containing blade fuses, the CJB (central junction box) is the main controller for a number of vehicle systems. These functions are outlined in the relevant sections of this product.
