Abstract
A junction box assembly for a vehicle having a junction box, a positive conductive terminal, a bus bar and a conductive jump-start terminal that are coupled to a battery cable in a manner wherein high-current electrical energy does not flow though the junction box during a jump-start event. The jump-start terminal is configured with a blade portion that provides the user of the vehicle with a convenient point to which the positive lead of a jumper cable may be attached during jump-starting operations.
