ABSTRACT:
A junction box assembly includes a lower cover, a junction box and an upper cover. The junction box holds one or more connectors that mate with corresponding connectors in the lower cover. The junction box includes a locking structure that engages with a corresponding locking structure of the upper cover. The junction box also includes a cover engagement restriction portion. The upper cover includes a lock position assurance device that abuts against the cover engagement restriction portion and restricts the upper cover from engaging the lower cover if the junction box is not properly installed into the lower cover. The lock position assurance device may also restrict accidental disengagement of the junction box from the junction box by restricting the junction box locking structure from disengaging the corresponding locking structure of the upper cover.
