A power distribution module for a vehicle includes an insulating housing including a component grid, the component grid defining a plurality of circuit protection footprints, the housing further including at least one connector mount or terminal mating location; a printed circuit board ('PCB') located within the housing and beneath the component grid, the PCB holding a plurality of fuse mounting terminals and at least one connector mounting terminal, the PCB including a plurality of conducting traces connecting the fuse mounting terminals to the at least one connector mounting terminal; and a cover that threadingly engages the housing, the threading engagement leading to a locking of the cover to the housing that tends to prevent the cover from loosening from the housing when the vehicle is being driven, the locking of the cover able to be overcome by a person so that the cover can be unthreaded readily from the housing.

A wiring harness clip has a concave elongate base for taping the wiring harness clip to a bundle of cables and an attachment ear with a hole for attaching the bundle of wires to a support panel or the like. The wiring harness clip is manufactured from an extruded blank that preferably includes two parallel channels for providing the concave elongated bases and a web between the channels for providing attachment ears. Successive attachment ears are stamped with part of one channel to form a wiring harness clip and then with part of the other channel to form another wiring harness clip.
