Abstract: A terminal assembly for serviceably housing an electrical fuse includes a first terminal having a mounting end and a first fuse contacting end with the mounting end adapted for receiving a stud, a second terminal having a wire contacting end and a second fuse contacting end with the wire contacting end adapted for receiving an electrical cable, and a terminal housing securing the first terminal and the second terminal together, the terminal housing defining a cavity adapted for receiving a fuse, wherein the first fuse contacting end of the first terminal and the second fuse contacting end of the second terminal extend into the cavity, and wherein the fuse is adapted to be inserted into the cavity and is disposed atop the first terminal and the second terminal without requiring disassembly or alteration of the terminal assembly.

Abstract: A wiring harness assembly for a vehicle includes wiring harness assembly for a vehicle including a plurality of overlay wiring harnesses, each of the overlay wiring harnesses including a first harness connector with a plurality of first wires, a source splice overlay adapted to be coupled to a source of the vehicle, a second harness connector with a plurality of second wires, and a weld coupling the source splice overlay to the first harness connector and the second harness connector to form a circuit.

Abstract: A power distribution assembly including a seating tray and a device coupled to the seating tray and at least partially fixed relative to the seating tray. The device defines a first channel and a second channel. The device has a mechanical advantage system in communication with the first and second channels. The power distribution assembly includes a housing selectively coupled to the seating tray and an extension affixed to the housing and movably disposed in the second channel of the device. The extension engages the mechanical advantage system. A power distribution assembly includes an actuator movably disposed in the first channel of the device. The actuator engages the mechanical advantage system. The actuator is movable in a first direction to actuate the mechanical advantage system and translate movement of the actuator to movement of the extension with the housing moving toward the seating tray during the movement of the extension.
