Abstract: A vehicle electrical system having an electrical junction box, a cover assembly for covering the electrical junction box. The electrical junction box includes a first junction box portion having a first set of electric terminals and a second junction box portion having a second set of electric terminals. The cover assembly includes first and second cover portions. The first cover portion is configured to cover the first junction box portion and includes a first top surface, a plurality of first sidewalls coupled to the first top surface and extending downwardly therefrom, and a water channeling groove formed into the first top surface and spaced apart from at least one of the first sidewalls. The second cover portion is configured to cover the second junction box portion and includes a second top surface, a plurality of second sidewalls coupled to the second top surface and extending downwardly therefrom and a lip member coupled to the second top surface and extending outwardly from at least one of the second sidewalls. The lip member is configured to engage the water channeling groove to resist infiltration of water flowing across the first top surface and between the at least one first sidewall and the at least one second sidewall.

Abstract: An improved junction box assembly having a shroud and a junction box. The junction box assembly includes a plurality of tapered alignment tabs which permit the shroud and the junction box to be highly skewed to each other during the initial phases of their assembly. The junction box includes cue members for providing a visual indication that the contacts that extend from the junction box have been engaged in a reliable manner to the contacts in the wire harnesses that are coupled to the shroud. A clip structure is provided to permit an electrical component, such as a terminal fuse, to be loosely coupled to the terminals of the junction box prior to the assembly of the junction box to the shroud. The junction box is configured with a plurality of abutting walls that are located proximate the terminals wherein the abutting walls inhibit relative rotation between the junction box and a terminal connector of the cable.

Abstract: An electrical junction box cover assembly for a motor vehicle includes a mounting cover and a junction box at least partially disposed in the mounting cover. The electrical junction box cover assembly also includes a connector connected to the junction box and having at least one wire extending therefrom out of the mounting cover. The electrical junction box cover assembly includes a top cover connected to the mounting cover with the at least one wire extending therebetween. The electrical junction box cover assembly further includes at least one clip extending from either one of the mounting cover and the junction box past an outer surface of the mounting cover to retain the at least one wire in a predetermined position relative thereto.
