Finally got my service manual in the mail. I found out that the other electronics not attached to the pcm, like the headlights, taillights, door jamb switch, etc, is wired to a bcm. Looks like the bcm is directly powered to positive battery voltage.

What I don't know is what these "cell" things are. ie, "fuse block details cell 11," "exterior lights cell 110," "power distribution cell 10," etc. What do these "cells" look like?

Also, where is the BCM located in the car?

the BCM is in the dash on the passenger's side... it connects to the PCM through the hole with the rubber grommit i believe.

cool, thanks 01.

any idea what the cells are? are they just a collection of ends? like a collection of grounds, or a collection of power?

i thought they were wire harnesses but now I'm not really sure.

oh... im not 100% sure but i think those are just little boxes that a fuse is inside of so your lights dont dim while you have your electronics on ie cd player.

"Cells" are the sections within the electrical section/chapter.

e.g. "Exterior Lights" cell 110 -> see section 110 of the electrical "chapter".

What year/model car is this...?
