1991 ACCESSORIES & SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Chrysler Motors/Mitsubishi Switches & Instrument Panels
Dodge; Ram-50
Mitsubishi: Montero, Pickup
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Instrument cluster includes speedometer, fuel gauge and
temperature gauge. Fuel gauge has a built-in voltage limiter to keep
voltage supply to gauges at 7 volts. Some models may also have a
shunt-type ammeter, oil pressure gauge, tachometer, voltmeter and/or
turbo boost pressure gauge. Oil pressure gauge uses full battery
voltage. The tachometer operates by pulse feed.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
FUEL/TEMPERATURE GAUGE NOT WORKING
Check for blown fuse, faulty voltage limiter or faulty relay.
Ensure sending unit connections are clean and tight. Test sending unit
for correct operation. Tighten connections in instrument cluster.
SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING
Ensure speedometer cable is properly connected and correctly
routed. If speedometer pointer and/or odometer still do not work,
replace speedometer as an assembly.
TACHOMETER NOT WORKING
Tachometer is serviced as an assembly. If wiring harness is
okay, replace tachometer assembly.
WARNING LIGHTS NOT WORKING
Test for defective sending unit, burned out bulb, or broken
printed circuit. Ensure all wire connections are clean and tight.
TESTING
FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT
Resistance Test
Remove fuel tank sending unit from fuel tank. Measure
resistance between appropriate terminals with fuel float in Full and
Empty positions. See Fig. 1. Compare resistance reading to
FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS table. If resistance
is not to specifications, replace fuel tank sending unit.

FUEL GAUGE
Simple Test
Disconnect fuel sending unit connector wire in luggage
compartment, cargo space, or at tank unit. Connect a 12-volt, 3.4-watt
bulb to harness side of connector, between power terminal and ground
(Yellow and Black wires on Montero). On Pickup and Ram-50 see Fig. 1.
Turn ignition switch to ON position. Ensure test bulb flashes, or
stays on, and fuel gauge needle moves. If bulb or gauge needle does
not function as described, check and repair fuel gauge circuit.
CAUTION: Gauge coils can be damaged if wire is grounded too long.
Perform test as quickly as possible.

NOTE: The following test must be completed with instrument panel
cluster removed. Use ohmmeter for all measurements. If
resistance is extremely low, there may be a short in the
coil. If resistance is extremely high, there may be a broken
wire or similar problem in the gauge.
Resistance Test
Remove instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Measure resistance between appropriate
terminals of instrument cluster or combination gauges. See Fig. 2 or

OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
Circuit Test
Disconnect oil pressure gauge wiring connector from sending
unit inside the engine compartment. Connect a 12-volt test light
between harness connector terminal and ground. Turn ignition on, but
DO NOT start engine. If test light comes on and gauge needle moves, go
to GAUGE RESISTANCE TEST. If test light does not come on and gauge
needle does not move, repair wiring to sending unit.
Gauge Resistance Test
Remove instrument cluster from instrument panel. See
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Check continuity
between oil pressure gauge terminals. See Fig. 4 or Fig. 5. See
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS table. If resistance is
not within specification, replace oil pressure gauge.

REED SWITCH
Continuity Check (Except Pickup & Ram-50)
Remove instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Check continuity between reed switch terminals
No. 1 and 2. See Fig. 6. Ensure continuity pulses on and off 4 times
per revolution of speedometer shaft connection. If continuity is not
as specified, replace reed switch.

TIMING BELT INTERFERENCE VERIFICATION INFORMATION
TIMING BELT INTERFERENCE CAUTION
NOTE: CAMSHAFT DRIVE BELTS OR TIMING BELTS - The condition of
camshaft drive belts should always be checked on vehicles
which have more than 50,000 miles. Although some
manufacturers do not recommend replacement at a specified
mileage, others require it at 60,000-100,000 miles. A
camshaft drive belt failure may cause extensive damage to
internal engine components on most engines, although some
designs do not allow piston-to-valve contact. These designs
are often called "Free Wheeling". Many manufacturers changed
their maintenance and warranty schedules in the mid-1980's to
reflect timing belt inspection and/or replacement at
50,000-60,000 miles. Most service interval schedules shown in
this section reflect these changes. Belts or components
should be inspected and replaced if any of the following
conditions exist:
* Crack Or Tears In Belt Surface
* Missing, Damaged, Cracked Or Rounded Teeth
* Oil Contamination
* Damaged Or Faulty Tensioners
* Incorrect Tension Adjustment

1991 DRIVE AXLES
Locking Hubs
Mitsubishi: Montero, Pickup
DESCRIPTION
Automatic hubs are engaged by rotational force of axle shaft
when 4WD is selected at transfer case. Automatic hubs disengage when
2WD is selected or vehicle is driven in Reverse. Cams, brakes and
springs are used to lock or unlock automatic hubs.
Engagement is accomplished through gears and spring actions
within hub. When hub is locked, hub brake engages inner hub, which is
connected to axle shaft by inner splines of hub. Hub brake is
connected to hub body by outer splines.
REMOVAL
1) Hub must be unlocked. To unlock hub, place transfer case
lever in 2H position and move vehicle in Reverse approximately 4-6
feet.
2) Remove cover from locking hub. If hub cover cannot be
loosened by hand, wrap shop towel around cover and use an oil filter
wrench to loosen cover.
3) Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheel assembly. Using
snap ring pliers, remove snap ring and shim from end of axle. Remove
locking hub retaining bolts. Remove locking hub.
INSTALLATION
1) To install, reverse removal procedure. Apply sealant to
contact areas between locking hub assembly and hub/rotor assembly.
Ensure sealant is NOT applied on outer areas of hub/rotor assembly
toward brake contact areas.
2) Align locking hub assembly key area with steering knuckle
key way area. Loosely install locking hub assembly on hub/rotor
assembly. Ensure locking hub assembly fully contacts hub/rotor
assembly.
3) Install locking hub retaining bolts. Tighten bolts to 36-
43 ft. lbs. (49-58 N.m). Using spring scale attached to wheel stud,
measure turning resistance required to rotate hub/rotor assembly.
4) Turning resistance should NOT exceed 3.1 lbs. (1.4 kg). I\
f
turning resistance exceeds specification, check for incorrect
installation of locking hub assembly or components.
5) Install shim and snap ring on drive axle. Rotate drive
axle until maximum end play is obtained. Using a dial indicator, check
drive axle end play.
6) Drive axle end play should be .008-.020" (.20-.51 mm). If\
axle end play is NOT within specification, adjust end play by changing
axle shaft shim. Install hub cover. Tighten hub cover 13-25 ft. lbs.
(18-34 N.m).

CAMSHAFT TIMING BELT
CAUTION: Failure to replace a faulty camshaft timing belt may result
in serious engine damage.
The condition of camshaft drive belts should always be
checked on vehicles which have more than 50,000 miles. Although some
manufacturers do not recommend belt replacement at a specified
mileage, others require it at 60,000-100,000 miles. A camshaft drive
belt failure may cause extensive damage to internal engine components
on most engines, although some designs do not allow piston-to-valve

schedules in the mid-1980's to reflect timing belt inspection and/or
replacement at 50,000-60,000 miles. Most service interval schedules in
this manual reflect these changes.
Belts or components should be inspected and replaced if any
of the following conditions exist:
* Cracks Or Tears In Belt Surface
* Missing, Damaged, Cracked Or Rounded Teeth
* Oil Contamination
* Damaged Or Faulty Tensioners
* Incorrect Tension Adjustment
Replace camshaft timing belt at 60,000 mile intervals.
