The housing also includes a pair of pivot structures disposed on opposing sides of the housing. A pair of pivot brackets are mounted on the vehicle with each of the brackets including a pivot slot formed therein receiving the pivot structures. At least one of the pivot brackets includes corresponding lock slots that releasably engage the locking structure defining a pre staged and a final staged position of the power distribution center. When the power distribution center is in the pre staged position the connection surface is positioned at an inclined angle wherein the connection surface is visible relative to a horizontal plane extending from a bottom of the housing.
