09 - 13 IPDM E/R (Intelligent Power Distribution Module - Engine Room) Fuse Box

Looking for the "third" fuse box for the +09 FX?



Remove the battery compartment cover and crowl top cover to access the IPDM.


IPDM


Lay some rag over the batter terminals so that your IPDM cover won’t be all scratched up and to protect the wires from sharp edges on the battery terminals.

Remove the IPDM, reach behind the IPDM and squeeze the two tabs toward the front of the car and lift it from the bracket.


Remove the IPDM cover, use a small flat head screwdriver and lightly pry the tabs up while you pull the cover away from it.



Remove the IPDM from it backing bracket, carefully work the wire bundle out of the guide tabs at the bottom of the backing bracket. Spread the two tabs on top of the backing bracket and then pull up to take the IPDM internal off the backing bracket.

That's the easy way when you know how to remove the fuse box....or you can do it the hard way by removing the battery first and the battery holder to then find out this just slips out lol.

The 2nd Gen is has more room and a bit longer wire slack then the 1st Gen.

Is this the fuse box where you can find the fuse to pull to do burnouts on an AWD? haha

I thought that fuse is in the box by the driver foot well.

View attachment 603267 So this is what I saw when I finally opened this thing and 8 don’t see any fuses. Specially the fog light one which I need to swap out.
