There are really 2 boxes
Passenger compartment fuse panel
The fuse panel is located on the left
hand side of the instrument panel
facing the driver’s side door. Pull the
panel cover outward to access the
fuses
Power distribution box
The power distribution box is
located in the engine compartment
near the battery. The power
distribution box contains
high-current fuses that protect your
vehicle’s main electrical systems
from overloads.

3.0L And 4.0L Engines
Serpentine Belt
All Navajo and B Series Pick-up
engines utilize one wide-ribbed V-belt to drive the engine accessories
such as the water pump, alternator, air conditioner compressor, air
pump, etc. Because this belt uses a spring loaded tensioner for
adjustment, belt replacement tends to be somewhat easier than on engines
where accessories are pivoted and bolted in place for tension
adjustment, such as the MPV. Basically, all belt replacement involves is
to pivot the tensioner to loosen the belt, then slide the belt off of
the pulleys. The two most important points are to pay CLOSE attention to
the proper belt routing (since serpentine belts tend to be "snaked" all
different ways through the pulleys) and to make sure the V-ribs are
properly seated in all the pulleys.

Fig. Belt routing diagram-4.0L engines
Although belt routing diagrams have been included in this section,
the first places you should check for proper belt routing are the labels
in your engine compartment. These should include a belt routing diagram
which may reflect changes made during a production run.
Take a good look at the installed belt and make a note of the
routing. Before removing the belt, make sure the routing matches that of
the belt routing diagrams. If for some reason a diagram does not match
(you may not have the original engine or it may have been modified,)
carefully note the changes on a piece of paper.

Technical Description:
EVAP Control System Canister Vent Solenoid Circuit Malfunction
The EVAP system monitors the canister vent (CV) solenoid circuit for an electrical failure.
The test fails when the signal moves outside the minimum or maximum allowable calibrated parameters for a specified canister vent duty cycle by PCM command.
Symptoms: You will likely not notice any drivability problems.
Causes: A code P1451 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
*VPWR circuit open
*Damaged canister vent solenoid
*Canister vent solenoid circuit open or shorted to ground, power, etc.
*Damaged Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
*Possible SolutionsVerify canister vent solenoid - To verify normal functioning, monitor the EVAP canister vent solenoid signal PID EVAPCV and the signal voltage
(PCM control side).With the valve open, EVAPCV indicates 0% duty cycle and a voltage approximately equal to battery voltage.
When the valve is commanded fully closed, EVAPCV indicates 100% duty cycle, and a minimum voltage drop of 4 volts is normal.
Output test mode may be used to switch output on/off to verify function.
*Replace canister vent solenoid
