ADJUSTMENTS
Do not stretch cables or chains to make pins fit or holes align. This will prevent
the engine from returning to idle.
CABLE TYPE 1. Check that the cable is properly installed and that the throttle is closed to
the idle position.
2. Pull the servo end of the cable towa rd the linkage bracket of the servo.
Place the servo connector in one of the 6 holes in the bracket which
allows the least amount of slack and does not move the throttle linkage.
3. Install the retainer clip. Check that the throttle linkage is still in the idle
position.
ROD WITH SCREW ADJUSTER 1. Inspect the rod assembly for proper attachment to the servo and throttle\
stud. Make certain the throttle is at idle.
2. Adjust the slotted bra cket or the rod to obtain a clearance of 0.02-0.04 in.
(0.5-1.0mm) between the throttle stud and the end of the bracket slot.
3. Install the retainer clip; make certain the throttle is still at idle.
ROD WITH ADJUSTMENT HOLES 1. Inspect the rod to be sure it is securely connected to the servo and
throttle linkage; make certain the throttle is at idle.
2. Install the retainer pin in the hole which provides the least slack between
the servo bracket and the retainer.
3. Check the throttle; it must still be in the idle position.

CHAIN AND CABLE
CHAIN AT THROTTLE
1. Check for proper installation of cabl e assembly. Inspect the throttle; it
must be in the idle position.
2. Install the chain in the swivel so that the slack does not exceed
1/2 the
diameter of the ball stud.
3. Install the retainer on the swivel and make sure the throttle has not
moved from idle.
CHAIN AT SERVO 1. Check for proper installation of cabl e assembly. Inspect the throttle; it
must be in the idle position.
2. Install the cable on the third link of the chain; adjust the jam nuts of the
servo until there is no noticeab le slack in the chain.
3. Tighten the jam nuts and check that the throttle has not moved out of the
idle position.
MODULE
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
1984-1992 MODELS
The module is mounted next to the heater and A/C duct on most models, but is
integral with the ECM on certain late-model engines.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the right side sound insulator.
3. Remove the module attaching screws and remove the module.
4. Disconnect the electrical connector.
To install: 5. Connect the electrical connector.
6. Install the cruise control module and the attaching screws.
7. Install the right side sound insulator.
8. Connect the negative battery cable.

FUSIBLE LINKS
In addition to circuit breakers and fuses,
the wiring harness incorporates fusible
links to protect the wiring. Links are used rather than a fuse, in wiring circuits
that are not normally fused, such as th e ignition circuit. The fusible links are
color coded red in the charging and load circuits to match the color coding of
the circuits they protect. Each link is four gauges smaller than the cable it
protects, and is marked on the insulation with the gauge size because the
insulation makes it appear heavier than it really is. The engine compartment
wiring harness has several fusible links. The same size wire with a special
Hypalon insulation must be used w hen replacing a fusible link.
For more details, see the information on fusible links at the beginning of this
section.
The links are located in the following areas:
1. A molded splice at the starter solenoid Bat terminal, a 14 gauge red wire.
2. A 16 gauge red fusible link at the j unction block to protect the unfused
wiring of 12 gauge or larger wire. This link stops at the bulkhead
connector.
3. The alternator warning light and fiel d circuitry is protected by a 20 gauge
red wire fusible link used in the batte ry feed-to-voltage regulator number
3 terminal. The link is installed as a molded splice in the circuit at the
junction block.
4. The ammeter circuit is protected by two 20 gauge fusible links installed
as molded splices in the circuit at t he junction block and battery to starter
circuit.
REPLACEMENT 1. Determine the circuit that is damaged.
2. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
3. Cut the damaged fuse link from the harness and discard it.
4. Identify and procure the proper fuse link and butt connectors.
5. Strip the wire about
1/2 in. (13mm) on each end.
6. Connect the fusible link and crimp the butt connectors making sure that the wires are secure.
7. Solder each connection with resin core solder, and wrap the connections
with plastic electrical tape.
8. Reinstall the wir e in the harness.
9. Connect the negative battery terminal and test the system for proper
operation.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS

Various circuit breakers are located under the instrument panel. In order to gain
access to these components, it may be ne cessary to first remove the under
dash padding. Most of the circuit breakers are located in the convenience
center or the fuse panel.

WIRING DIAGRAMS

WIRING DIAGRAMS

The following wiring diagrams are provi
ded to help troubleshoot electrical
problems and as a an additi onal source to help understand the complex wiring
utilized by these vehicles. No attempt has been made to illustrate most
components as they physica lly appear, instead, represent ations are used to
simplify the diagram. When working on a system, locate the component and use
the wire color codes to help trace the circuit.
