The wire harness integrates with both the Vehicle Systems Interference Module (VSIM) 24-way connector and the 12-pin connector that Chrysler Group provides at the console Power distribution center (PDC): Contains the fusing and relays for circuits contained in the wire harness. The PDC is supplied from the battery with two 100-amp main fuses. These fuses are separated in order to accommodate departments that wish to control some circuits with a timing device.

The trunk tray provides a 37.5-inch by 19-inch mounting surface for electrical and communications gear.

An industry-first integral ground buss bar helps eliminate poor grounding, the most common equipment issue.
