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.
There should be zero ohms. If not, repair open be-
tween radio connector and ground.

sure resistance from center conductor to coaxial
shield. The meter should read infinite resistance
(open). If it does not, replace antenna assembly.
²Measure resistance of antenna mast to tip of cen-
ter conductor at radio end of cable. The meter should
read 0 to 0.5 ohms. If it does not, replace lead-in ca-
ble or antenna assembly.
²Measure resistance from coaxial shield to chassis
ground (vehicle body). The meter should read zero
ohms. If it does not, ground antenna base to vehicle
body, or replace antenna assembly as required
For all problems with no or low audio output
not resolved by these tests, remove radio for ser-
vice.
