Troubleshooting
Tips and Precautions
Before Troubloshooting
a Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay
DOX.
a Check the battery for damage, state of charge, and
clean and tight connections.a Check the alternator belt tension.
CAUTION:
a Do not quick-charg€ a battery unless the batteryground cabla has be€n disconnoctsd. oth€rwisoyou will damage the alternator diodss.a Do not att6mpt to crank the engine with the bat-tery ground cable loosely connectsd or you will se-vorsly damag€ tho widng.
a The original radio has a codod thatt plotection ci.-cuit. Be sul€ to got tho customor's code numbet
before- disconnecting th€ battery.- lomoving tho No. 32 (7.5 Al tuso f.om the
under-hood tuse/lelay box.- removing tho radio.
Aflor s€lvic€. reconn€ct powet to tho radio and
turn it on. Whon the word "CODE" is displayed,
€nt€l the customer'E s-digit codo to .astore ladio
operation.
Handling Connectors
a Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose
wire terminals.
a Make sure multiple cavity connectots are packed withgrease (except watertight connectors).a All connectors have push-down release type locks.
LOCKII{G TAA
LOCKING TAB
a Some connectors have a clio on their side used to at-
tach them to a mount bracket on the body or on
another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
a Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected
unless you first release the lock and remove the con-
nector from its bracket.
