TURN SIGNALSÐAC, AY, AA AND AP BODIES
The turn signals are part of the multi-function switch.
Which contains electrical circuitry for turn signal, cor-
nering lamps, hazard warning, headlamp beam select,
headlamp optical horn, windshield wiper, pulse wipe
and windshield washer switching. The integrated switch
assembly is mounted to the left hand side of the steer-
ing column. When the driver wishes to signal his inten-
tions to change direction of travel, he moves the lever
upward to cause the right signals to flash and down-
ward to cause the left signals to flash. After completion
of a turn the system is deactivated automatically. As
the steering wheel returns to the straight ahead posi-
tion, a canceling cam of two lobes molded to the clock-
spring mechanism comes in contact with the cancel
actuator on the turn signal multi-function switch as-
sembly. Either cam lobe, pushing on the cancel actua-
tor, returns the switch to the off position. If only momentary signaling such as indication of a
lane change is desired, the switch is actuated to a left
or right intermediate detent position. In this position
the signal lamps flash as described above, but the
switch returns to the OFF position as soon as the lever
is released.
When the system is activated, 1 of 2 indicator
lamps mounted in the instrument cluster flashes in
unison with the turn signal lamps, indicating to the
driver that the system is operating.
AG AND AJ BODIES
The turn signals are actuated with lever on the left
side of the instrument panel switch pod. When the
driver wishes to signal his intentions to change di- rection of travel, he moves the lever upward to cause
the right signals to flash and downward to cause the
left signals to flash. After completion of a turn the system is deacti-
vated automatically. The cancellation switch in the
steering column sends a signal to a remote turn sig-
nal switch in the switch pod to cancel the turn signal
function. As the steering wheel returns to the
straight ahead position from a turn, a cancel cam
which is located on the steering wheel contacts a
cancel flipper located on the cancellation switch.
When the flipper is contacted by the cancel cam in
the proper rotational direction, the cancel switch
sends a signal to the remote turn signal switch. If only momentary signaling such as indication of a
lane change is desired, the switch is actuated to a
left or right intermediate detent position. In this po-
sition the signal lamps flash as described above, but
the switch returns to the OFF position as soon as the
lever is released. When the system is activated, 1 of 2 indicator
lamps mounted in the instrument cluster flashes in
unison with the turn signal lamps, indicating to the
driver that the system is operating.
HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM
The hazard warning system is actuated by a push
button located on the top of the steering column be-
tween the steering wheel and the instrument panel.
The hazard switch is identified with a double trian-
gle on top of the button. Push and release the button
to turn the hazard function ON or OFF. The button
will move out from the steering column in the ON
position and will remain in toward the column in the
OFF position.
CHIME FUNCTIONÐAC, AG, AJ AND AY
The chime will sound after the vehicle has traveled
a distance of 0.6 miles at a speed above 15 miles per
hour.

The windshield wipers can be operated with the
windshield wiper switch only when the ignition
switch is in the ACCESSORY or IGNITION position.
A fuse, located in the fuse block, protects the cir-
cuitry of the wiper system and the vehicle. The wiper motor has permanent magnet fields. The speeds are determined by current flow to the appro-
priate set of brushes. The intermittent wipe system, in addition to low
and high speed, has a delay mode. The delay mode
has a range of 2 to 15 seconds. This is accomplished
by a variable resistor in the wiper switch and is con-
trolled electrically by a relay. The wiper system completes the wipe cycle when
the switch is turned OFF. The blades park in the
lowest portion of the wipe pattern.
WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADE AND ARM SERVICE PROCEDURES
WIPER BLADES
Wiper blades, exposed to the weather for a long pe-
riod of time, tend to lose their wiping effectiveness.
Periodic cleaning of the wiper blade is suggested to
remove the accumulation of salt and road film. The
wiper blades, arms, and windshield should be cleaned
with a sponge or cloth and a mild detergent or nona-
brasive cleaner. If the blades continue to streak or
smear, they should be replaced.
WIPER BLADE ELEMENT CHANGE
(1) Turn wiper switch ON, position blades to a con-
venient place by turning the ignition switch ON and
OFF. (2) Lift wiper arm to raise blade off glass.
(3) Remove blade assembly from arm by inserting
a small screwdriver blade into release slot of wiper
blade and push downward (Fig. 1 and 2), or push re-
lease button (2). (4) To remove wiping element from blade assem-
bly:
² Place blade assembly on a working surface
² Apply pressure backwards to open up the blade as-
sembly (Fig. 3)
² By pushing downward and pulling away remove
the wiping element, or lift tab on one end links and
squeeze link to remove from center bridge.

(3) Secure arm to pivot with attaching nut and
tighten 17 to 22 N Im (155 to 195 in. lbs.) torque.
(4) Close head cover and remove pin from arm pin
hole.
WIPER ARM ADJUSTMENT
FRONT ARM ADJUSTMENT
(1) Cycle the wiper motor into the PARK position.
(2) Check the tips of the blades in blackout area.
From the bottom edge of the windshield to the blade
should be no closer than 25 mm (1 inch) (Fig. 8). (3) Operate the wipers if the requirements are not
met, check linkage and pivot assembly for worn
parts.
REAR ARM ADJUSTMENT
With the motor in the park position, mount the
arm on the motor shaft. Choose a serration engage-
ment that positions the blade, parallel with the bot-
tom edge of the liftgate glass.

STEERING WHEEL OR COLUMN REMOVAL PROCE-
DURES.
Whenever a wiper motor malfunction occurs, first
verify that the wiper motor wire harness is properly
connected to all connectors before starting normal di-
agnosis and repair procedures. Refer to Wiper Motor
Diagnosis Chart (Fig. 9). The following is a list of general wiper motor sys-
tem problems, the tests that are to be performed to
locate the faulty part, and the corrective action to be
taken. These tests will cover both two speed and in-
termittent wipe functions.
TWO SPEED MOTOR FUNCTION TESTS
CONDITION: MOTOR WILL NOT RUN IN ANY SWITCH POSITION
PROCEDURE
(1) Check for a blown fuse in the fuse block. (a) If fuse is good, proceed to step 2.
(b) If fuse is defective, replace and check motor
operation in all switch positions. (c) If motor is still inoperative and the fuse does
not blow, proceed to step 2. (d) If replacement fuse blows, proceed to step 5.
(2) Place switch in LOW speed position.
(3) Listen to motor. If you cannot hear it running,
proceed to Step 4. If you hear it running, check motor
output shaft. If output shaft is not turning, replace
motor assembly. If it is turning, drive link to output
shaft or linkage is not properly connected. Replace
worn parts and/or properly connect drive link to the
motor output shaft. (4) Connect a voltmeter between motor terminal 3
and ground strap (Fig. 10). If there is no voltage or very
little voltage (less than one volt) present, move nega-
tive test lead from the ground strap to negative battery
terminal. (a) If an increase in voltage is noticed, the problem
is a bad ground circuit. Make sure the motor mount-
ing is free of paint and that nuts or bolts are tight. (b) If there is still no indication of voltage, the
problem is an open circuit in the wiring harness or
wiper switch. (c) If no more than 3 volts increase in voltage is
observed, the problem is a faulty motor assembly.
(5) Disconnect motor wiring connector and replace
fuse. (a) If fuse does not blow, motor is defective.
(b) If fuse blows, switch or wiring is at fault.

GENERAL INFORMATION
For proper operation of the Concealed Headlamp
System, refer to the Owner's Manual provided with
the vehicle.
The Concealed Headlamps are controlled by the Body
Controller (Fig. 1). Refer to Group 8E, Instrument
Panel for service procedures. The Body Controller re-
ceives input information from the ignition switch, head-
lamp switch, and the headlamp dimmer switch. The Body Controller also controls the headlamp doors
when the Passing Lights (manually flashing bright
lights) are used. With the headlamp switch turned off,
actuating the headlamp dimmer switch will signal the
Body Controller to open the headlamp doors. The oper-
ator then has two seconds to flash the bright lights be-
fore the Body Controller closes the headlamp doors.
Holding the headlamp dimmer switch in the engaged
position will signal the Body Controller to keep the
headlamp doors open until the dimmer switch is re-
leased. Actuating the headlamp dimmer switch with the
parking lamps ON signals the Body Controller to open
the headlamp doors and keep them open until the head-
lamp switch is turned off.
AY and AC vehicles use a single motor, centrally
located behind the radiator grille, and linked to the
headlamp doors by a torsion bar. Refer to Service
Procedures for more information. The headlamp door drive motors are equipped with
a manual override hand wheel to open or close the
headlamp doors if a failure should occur or servicing
is required. Access to the handwheel can be gained
through a flap covered hole in the sight shield be-
hind the bumper fascia, and under the hood. Several
revolutions of the handwheel may be required to
move the headlamp doors.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
Before diagnosing a problem with the headlamp
doors, check for possible collision damage, binding,
improperly installed assemblies, or freezing weather
conditions. When diagnosing an electrical problem, refer to:
² The Concealed Headlamps Electrical Diagnosis
chart in this section.
² The Wiring Diagrams Manual.
² The Headlamp Doors System section of the appro-
priate Body Diagnostic Procedures Manual.
PROBLEM
One headlamp door is inoperative when the head-
lamp switch is ON and the ignition switch is in the
RUN position. The other headlamp door operates
normally.
AC OR AY-VEHICLE BODY CHECK:
² Headlamp door pivot and crank for seizure.
² Headlamp torsion bar sleeve or clip for excessive
wear or breakage.
² Headlamp door crank for missing or broken screw.
