Abstract
An electric connection box includes a cover fitted on a lower side of a body having mounting portions, and the cover is fixedly secured to a vehicle body. A wire harness is extended outwardly from a portion of the body, disposed near to one corner portion thereof, through an escape groove. Plural lock mechanisms, in which a lock piece portion can be elastically fitted into a lock groove, are provided at fitting peripheral surfaces of the body and cover, and are disposed near to four corner portions thereof respectively. One lock mechanism, disposed near to a position where the wire harness is extended outwardly, has a semi-lock structure, and thus has a smaller retaining force than the other lock mechanisms.
