1994 JEEP CHEROKEE fuse

GAUGE PACKAGE GENERAL INFORMATION
The gauge package contains 4 gauges and the 4
wheel drive indicator. The gauges have a common
battery feed from fuse #9 and ignition switch. Al-
though they have separate power sources, the 4
gauges share a common ground connection.
The voltmeter indicates electrical system voltage.
When the engine is not running, the voltage regis-
tered is from the battery. After the engine is started,
charging system voltage is indicated. In the gauge
package, the voltmeter forms a parallel connectionacross the battery feed and ground.
The remaining gauges - oil pressure, fuel and cool-
ant temperature - are connected to individual sender
units. Variable resistors in the senders will change
the amount of current allowed to flow through the
gauge coils. As current flow through the coils varies,
the position of the indicator needle also will vary.
The 4 gauges are connected to battery feed, ground
and the sender units through a printed circuit
mounted on the back of the gauge housing.

GENERAL INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION
Each radio receives ignition feed from an ignition
switch controlled fuse. There is an additional in-line
fuse in the back of the radio chassis. The in-line fuse
will blow in the event an internal short occurs.
The electronically tuned radio (ETR)/cassette
models protect the vehicle from a radio failure
with an in-line fuse located in the rear of the ra-
dio chassis (Fig. 1).
XJ/YJ vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD) fuse that is removed when the vehicles
are shipped from the factory. This fuse is in the
Power Distribution Center to prevent battery dis-
charge during storage. For specific location refer to
Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams.
The IOD fuse is in the radio memory circuitry and
should be checked if the memory (time or radio sta-
tion programming) is inoperative.
All radios are connected to the radio illumination
relay. When the ignition switch is in ON or ACCES-
SORY and the radio illumination relay remains de-
energized, the radio receives battery voltage via the
relay from the:
²(20 amp #7 fuse YJ)
²(15 amp #2 fuse XJ).
The radio illumination relay is energized when the
headlamp switch is used to turn on the parklamps or
headlamps. Battery voltage is switched to the dimdisplay input of the radio through the relay contacts.
The radio panel illumination is dimmed for night
driving.
The ETR models require an additional battery feed
connection to the (10 amp #F16 fuse-YJ), (10 amp
#9 fuse-XJ) to retain the radio's memory when the
ignition switch is turned OFF.
ETR models are self-compensating. A radio
trimmer adjustment is not required.
DIAGNOSIS
RADIO INOPERATIVE
Turn ignition switch to ON
²Inspect the (#7-YJ), (#2-XJ) fuse and replace if
necessary.
²Measure voltage at battery side of the fuse. There
should be 12 volts. If not, repair open from ignition
switch.
²Inspect in-line fuse at rear of radio and replace if
necessary.
Turn ignition switch to OFF.
²Disconnect radio connector. Measure resistance
from radio ground pin to a clean chassis ground.

Refer to Radio Connector Pins.
FRONT SPEAKERS
²Radio OFF, radio connector disconnected. Measure
resistance between radio left front feed and return
connector pins. Measure between right front feed and
return connector pins. The meter should read 5 to 8

GENERAL INFORMATION
For XJ/YJ vehicles battery voltage is applied to the
horn relay through a fuse.
When the horn switch is depressed, the horn relay
is grounded, pulling the contact closed and providing
battery voltage to the horns.
A slip ring and brush arrangement in the steering
wheel allows the switch circuit to maintain contact
while allowing rotation of the steering wheel.On XJ models, a cadmium-plated ground
screw is used to attach the horn(s) to the body.
Do not substitute other types of ground screws
as they may become corroded and cause a loss
of ground.

FRONT WIPERS/WASHERS
GENERAL
Two-speed electric windshield wipers and electric
washers are standard equipment. An optional inter-
mittent wiper system provides a pause between wipe
cycles for use during conditions of very light precipi-
tation.
The windshield wipers can be operated with the
windshield wiper switch only when the ignition
switch is in the ON or ACCESSORY position. A cir-
cuit breaker located in the fuse block protects the cir-
cuitry of the wiper system.
WIPERS
The standard windshield wiper circuit contains
three components; wiper/washer switch, motor, and
front washer pump. Both standard and intermittent
circuits are the same, except that the intermittent
circuit requires a module and delay resistance in the
wiper switch. Both circuits receive battery feed from,
and are protected by a 5.5 amp circuit breaker.
In the standard wiper circuit, the switch connects
the motor directly to battery feed for low and high
speed operation. In the intermittent circuit, the
switch supplies battery feed to the intermittent wiper
module, which then supplies the motor. In the delay
position, the module is connected with the variable
resistor in the wiper switch. The value of the resis-tance is used by the module to charge a capacitor,
which triggers the amount of delay between wipes.
The wiper motor has an arrangement of brushes
providing the two wiper speeds. When the wipers are
turned off, the park switch maintains current to the
motor until the wipers reach the park position on the
windshield.
The park arm in the motor assembly is connected
to the park switch and is driven by the motor. When
the wiper switch is turned off, current flows through
the contact and the module to the motor until the
wipers reach the park position.
CAUTION: The wiper arms and blades must not be
moved manually from side to side or damage may
result.
WASHERS
With the washer switch ON, current flows through
the washer pump to ground. The front washer pump
runs as long as the driver holds the switch ON. On
standard wipers, the washer switch automatically
moves the wiper switch to LO when the washer is
turned on. On intermittent wipers, the wiper module
runs the wiper motor on LO. Turning the switch to
OFF stops the wipers.
If the washer knob is depressed while the wiper
switch is in the OFF position, the wiper control will
operate for approximately 3 wipes and automatically
turn OFF.
