GENERAL
INFORMATION
The electrically heated rear window defogger
is

available
on
Ramcharger with sunscreen glass only. The system consists
of a
rear window with
two
ver­
tical
bus
bars
and a
series
of
electrically connected
grid lines baked
on the
inside surface. Circuit protection
for the
heated grid circuit
is
pro­
vided
by a 18
gauge fusible link wire located
in the

engine compartment.
The
relay circuit
is
protected
by
a 20 amp
fuse, located
in the
fuse block. When
the
rear window defogger switch
is
placed
in

the
ON
position, current
is
directed
to
rear window
grid lines.
The
heated grid lines
in
turn heat
the

rear window
to
clear
the
surface
of fog or
snow.

CAUTION;
Grid lines
can be
damaged
or
scraped
off
with
sharp instruments. Care should
be
taken

SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION CONTROL
SWITCH/TIMER
RELAY MODULE
The control switch
and
timer relay
are
integrated
into
a
single panel mounted assembly. Actuating
the
switch energizes
the
electronic timing circuit. This
allows current
to
flow through
the
grid system
for

approximately
10
minutes,
or
until either
the
control
switch
or
ignition
is
turned
off. An
indicating lamp
illuminates
a
lens inlaid
in the
control switch.

TEST PROCEDURES

SYSTEM
TEST
Electrically heated rear window defogger operation
can
be
checked in-vehicle
in the
following manner: (1) Turn
the
ignition
ON.

(2) Turn rear window defogger control switch
ON.

(3) Monitor vehicle voltmeter. With
the
control
switch
ON, a
distinct needle deflection should
be

noted. (4)
The
rear window defogger operation
can be

checked
by
feeling
the
glass.
A
distinct difference
in

temperature between
the
grid lines
and
adjacent clear glass
can be
detected
in 3 to 4
minutes
of
oper­ation. (5) Contact negative lead
of a DC
voltmeter
(Fig.

1),
to
terminal
"B"
(passenger side). Contact positive
lead
to
terminal
"A"
(driver side).
The
voltmeter
should read
10-14
volts. Only steps
(3) and (4) or (5)
above will confirm sys­
tem operation. Indicator light illumination means
that there
is
power available
at the
output
of the re­
lay only,
and
does
not
verify system operation.
If rear window defogger does
not
operate,
the
prob­
lem should
be
isolated
in the
following manner:
(1) Confirm that ignition switch
is ON.

Test (2) Ensure that heated rear window feed wire
is

connected
to
terminal
or
pigtail
and
that ground wire
is
in
fact grounded.
(3) Ensure that fuse
is
operational
and all
electri­
cal connections
are
secure.
When above steps have been completed
and the

system
is
still inoperative,
one or
more
of the
follow­
ing
is
defective:
(a) Control switch/timer relay module.

REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER

• (b) Rear window grid lines (all grid lines would
have to be broken) or one of the feed wires are not
connected for the system to be inoperative.
The following paragraphs outline component check­
out procedures.
If turning the switch ON produces severe voltmeter
deflection, the circuit should be closely checked for a shorting condition. If system operation has been verified but indicator
bulb does not light, check and replace bulb.
For detailed wiring information, refer to Group 8W
- Wiring Diagrams.

REAR
WINDOW GRID LINES TEST
Horizontal grid lines and vertical bus bar lines
printed and baked on inside surface of rear window glass (Fig. 1) comprise an electrical parallel circuit.
The electrically conductive lines are made of a silver- ceramic material. When baked onto glass they be­
come bonded to the glass and are highly resistant to abrasion. It is possible, however, that a break may
exist or occur in an individual grid line resulting in
no current flow through the line. To detect breaks in
grid lines, the following procedure is required: (1) Turn ignition on and push control switch to
ON. Indicator light should come on. (2) Contact negative lead of a DC voltmeter, to
vertical bus bar connecting grid lines on passenger side of vehicle (point A of Fig. 1). Contact positive
lead of voltmeter, to vertical bus bar on driver side of
vehicle (point B of Fig. 1). Voltmeter should read 10-14 volts. (3) With negative lead of voltmeter, contact a good
body ground point. Voltage reading should not change. A different reading indicates a poor ground connection. (4) Connect negative lead of voltmeter to Point A
on passenger side bus bar and touch each grid line at
Mid-Point with positive lead. A reading of approxi­ mately 6 volts indicates a line is good. A reading of 0
volts indicates a break in line between Mid-Point C and Point B. A reading of 10-14 volts indicates a
break between Mid-Point C and ground Point A. Move toward break and voltage will change as soon as break is crossed.

CONTROL SWITCH/TIMER MODULE TEST
Control switch/timer relay module may be tested
in-vehicle or bench tested. In vehicle testing is ac­
complished in the following manner: (1) Remove switch from instrument panel (refer to
Control Switch Replacement) and leave switch con­
nector plugged in. (2) Turn ignition ON.
(3) Using a DC voltmeter, check voltage at termi­ nals B, I and L (Figs. 2 and 3). Terminals B and I
should confirm a voltage of 10 to 14 volts to ground.
Terminal L should confirm 0 volts to ground. When terminals B and I show no voltage, trace circuit up­
stream of switch/relay module for cause:
• wiring cut
• fusible link faulty
• circuit breaker inoperative
• bulkhead connection bad, etc. If terminal L indicates voltage, place switch in
OFF position. If voltage at L is still indicated or in­
dicator lamp remains on, switch/relay module should
be replaced.

(4) If the relay checks out to this point, momen­
tarily operate switch to ON position. The indicator lamp should come on and remain on for approxi­
mately 10 minutes. Terminal L should confirm volt­
age.
If the indicator lamp fails to light or voltage at
terminal L is not confirmed the switch/relay module should be replaced.
Bench checking of the relay may be accomplished
in the following manner. By following the in-vehicle
procedure except Step 2: With a DC power supply, apply 12 volts to terminal B and I and ground termi­
nal G.

Fig. 3 Clearance Measurement
CONNECTING ROD BEARING CLEARANCE Engine connecting rod bearing clearances can be
determined by use of Plastigage, or equivalent. The
following is the recommended procedures for the use of Plastigage:
(1) Remove oil film from surface to be checked.
Plastigage is soluble in oil.
(2) Place a piece of Plastigage across the entire
width of the bearing cap shell (Fig. 2). Position the
Plastigage approximately 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) off cen­
ter and away from the oil holes. In addition, suspect areas can be checked by placing the Plastigage in the
suspect area. (3) The crankshaft must be turned until the con­
necting rod to be checked starts moving toward the
top of the engine. Only then should the rod cap with
Plastigage in place be assembled. Tighten the rod
cap nut to 61 Nnn (45 ft. lbs.) torque. DO NOT ro­
tate the crankshaft or the Plastigage may be smeared, giving inaccurate results. (4) Remove the bearing cap and compare the width
of the flattened Plastigage with the scale provided on
the package (Fig. 3). Plastigage generally comes in 2 scales (one scale is in inches and the other is a met­
ric scale). Locate the band closest to the same width.
This band shows the amount of clearance. Differ­ ences in readings between the ends indicate the
amount of taper present. Record all readings taken (refer to Engine Specifications). (5) Plastigage is available in a variety of clearance
ranges. The 0.025-0.076 mm (0.001-0.003 inch) range
is usually the most appropriate for checking engine
bearing clearances.
REPAIR DAMAGED OR WORN THREADS Damaged or worn threads can be repaired. Essen­
tially, this repair consists of:
• Drilling out worn or damaged threads. • Tapping the hole with a special Heli-Coil Tap, or
equivalent.
• Installing an insert into the tapped hole.
This brings the hole back to its original thread

size.

CAUTION:
Be
sure
that
the tapped holes maintain
the original
center
line.

Heli-Coil tools and inserts are readily available
from automotive parts jobbers.

HYDROSTATIC
LOCK
When an engine is suspected of hydrostatic lock
(regardless of what caused the problem), follow the
steps below. (1) Perform the Fuel Pressure Release Procedure
(refer to Group 14, Fuel System). (2) Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
(3) Inspect air cleaner, induction system and in­
take manifold to ensure system is dry and clear of
foreign material. (4) Place a shop towel around the spark plugs to
catch any fluid that may possibly be under pressure
in the cylinder head. Remove the plugs from the en­

gine.

CAUTION:
DO NOT use the starter motor to
rotate

the
crankshaft.
Severe
damage
could
occur.

(5) With all spark plugs removed, rotate the crank­
shaft using a breaker bar and socket.
(6) Identify the fluid in the cylinders (i.e. coolant,
fuel, oil, etc.).
(7) Make sure all fluid has been removed from the
cylinders. (8) Repair engine or components as necessary to
prevent this problem from occurring again.
(9) Squirt engine oil into the cylinders to lubricate
the walls. This will prevent damage on restart.
(10) Install new spark plugs. Tighten the spark
plugs to 41 N#m (30 ft. lbs.) torque. (11) Drain engine oil. Remove and discard the oil
filter.
(12) Install the drain plug. Tighten the plug to 34
N-m (25 ft. lbs.) torque.
(13) Install a new oil filter.
(14) Fill engine crankcase with the specified
amount and grade of oil (refer to Group 0, Lubrica­
tion and Maintenance). (15) Connect the negative cable to the battery.
(16) Start the engine and check for any leaks.

CAUTION:
Th© plunger and
tappet
bodies are not
interchangeable. The plunger and valve must al­

ways
be
fitted
to the
original
body. It is advisable to

work
on one
tappet
at a
time
to avoid
mixing
of parts. Mixed
parts
are not
compatible.
DO NOT
dis­

assemble
a
tappet
on a
dirty
work
bench,

DISASSEMBLE
(1) Pry out plunger retainer spring clip (Fig. 17).
(2) Clean varnish deposits from inside of tappet
body above plunger cap.
(3) Invert tappet body and remove plunger cap,
plunger, check valve, check valve spring, check valve
retainer and plunger spring (Fig. 17). Check valve could be flat or ball.

ASSEMBLE

(1) Clean all tappet parts in a solvent that will re­
move all varnish and carbon.
(2) Replace tappets that are unfit for further ser­
vice with new assemblies.
(3) If plunger shows signs of scoring or wear, in­
stall a new tappet assembly. If valve is pitted, or
valve seat on end of plunger is prevented from seat­
ing, install a new tappet assembly. (4) Assemble tappets (Fig. 17).

VALVE
TIMING

(1) Turn crankshaft until the No.6 exhaust valve
is closing and No.6 intake valve is opening. (2) Insert a 6.350 mm (1/4 inch) spacer between
rocker arm pad and stem tip of No.l intake valve. Allow spring load to bleed tappet down giving in ef­
fect a solid tappet. (3) Install a dial indicator so plunger contacts
valve spring retainer as nearly perpendicular as pos­
sible.
Zero the indicator. (4) Rotate the crankshaft clockwise (normal run­
ning direction) until the valve has lifted 0.254 mm (0.010 inch). The timing of the crankshaft should
now read from 10° before top dead center to 2° after
top dead center. Remove spacer.

CAUTION:
DO NOT
turn
