Abstract
A power distribution box assembly configured to assist in a blind installation is provided. The power distribution box includes a rib disposed on a side wall of the power distribution box. A top cover is configured to close the top of the power distribution box. The top cover includes a guide shoulder disposed on a side wall of the top cover. The guide shoulder extends past a bottom edge of the side wall of the top cover and is configured to be seated over the rib of the power distribution box. Accordingly, the guide shoulder and rib engagement provides a tactile response indicating a proper position of the top cover with respect to the power distribution box.
