Abstract
An automobile junction box (2), programmable in relation to vehicle options that may be required, houses printed circuit boards (24, 25) having receptacles (28) for receiving tabs (36) depending from an elongated member (34). The tabs connect the circuit pathways (26) corresponding to vehicle options. The selected circuit pathways may be modified by the inclusion of a second set of receptacles (29) on the printed circuit boards for receiving electrical components (14) such as diodes, resistors, zener diodes and the like.
