ABSTRACT:
An electrical junction box for a vehicle includes a housing and a circuit disposed in the housing for receiving power from a remote power source. At least one power switching device is electrically connected to the circuit for switching power from the power source to a remote electrically-actuated device in the vehicle. A controller operates the at least one switching device. The junction box is characterized by the controller being removably connected to the circuit. In a first version, the controller is packaged in a protective case separate from the junction box housing. In a second version, the controller is accessibly packaged within the electrical junction box housing. Both embodiments accomplish one object of the present invention to provide a controller for an electrical junction box which is easily and quickly removable for service repair or replaceable for micro-processor chip upgrade.
