TEMS BEFORE ATTEMPTING STEERING WHEEL
COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. FAILURE
TO TAKE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT
IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POS-
SIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
(1) Inspect fuses (F8 and F16 in PDC on YJ)(11 in
fuseblock module and F14 in PDC on XJ). Replace
fuses, as required.
(2) Remove the horn relay (in the PDC on YJ)(in
the relay center on XJ). See Horn Relay Connec-
tions-XJ (Fig. 1) or Horn Relay Connections-YJ (Fig.
2) and perform the following tests.
²The common feed terminal (30) is connected to
battery voltage and should be hot at all times. If bat-
tery voltage is not present at relay cavity 30, check
circuit to fuse (F16 on YJ)(11 on XJ). Repair as re-
quired.
²The normally closed terminal (87A) is connected to
terminal 30 in the de-energized position, but is not
used for this application.
²The normally open terminal (87) is connected to
the common feed terminal (30) in the energized posi-
tion. This terminal supplies battery voltage to the
horn. There should be continuity between relay cav-
ity 87 and the horn terminal at all times. If not, re-
pair wiring or connections as required.
²The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to the
electromagnet in the relay, and battery voltage
should be present at all times. If battery voltage is
not present at relay cavity 86, check circuit to fuse
(F16 on YJ)(11 on XJ). Repair as required.
²The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to the
electromagnet in the relay. It is grounded when the
horn switch is depressed. Check for continuity to
ground at relay cavity 85 with the horn switch de-
pressed. If no continuity is found with horn switch
depressed or, if continuity is found with horn switch
released, repair horn switch or wiring as required.
See Horn Switch Remove/Install in this group for ser-
vice procedures.
If all relay connections check OK, proceed to next
step.
(3) With the horn relay still removed, check the
horn relay by performing the following tests.
²A relay in the de-energized position should have
continuity between terminal 87A and terminal 30,
and no continuity between terminal 87 and terminal
30.
²Resistance value between terminals 85 and 86
(electromagnet) is 7565 ohms.²Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86. There
should now be continuity between terminal 87 and
terminal 30.
If relay fails any of the above tests, replace faulty
relay. If relay checks OK, reinstall and proceed to
next step.
(4) Disconnect wiring at horn terminal. Depress
horn switch. There should be battery voltage at the
horn wiring connector. If not, repair wiring to relay.
If OK, proceed to next step.
(5) Measure the resistance between the horn
bracket and a good chassis ground. The meter should
read zero ohms. If not, clean and tighten ground con-
nection between horn mounting screw and bracket. If
OK, replace faulty horn(s).

WARNING: THE USE OF VEHICLE SPEED CON-
TROL IS NOT RECOMMENDED WHEN DRIVING
CONDITIONS DO NOT PERMIT MAINTAINING ACONSTANT SPEED, SUCH AS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC
OR ON ROADS THAT ARE WINDING, ICY, SNOW
COVERED, OR SLIPPERY.
DIAGNOSIS
Before beginning diagnosis, perform a vehicle road
test to verify reports of speed control system mal-
function. The road test should include attention to
the speedometer. Speedometer operation should be
smooth and without flutter at all speeds.
Flutter in the speedometer indicates a problem
which might cause surging in the speed control sys-
tem. The cause of any speedometer problems should
be corrected before proceeding. Refer to Group 8E -
Instrument Panel and Gauges for speedometer diag-
nosis.
If a road test verifies a system problem and the
speedometer operates properly, check for:
(1) Loose or corroded electrical connections at the
servo. Corrosion should be removed from electricalterminals and a light coating of Mopar MultiPurpose
Grease, or equivalent, applied.
(2) Correct installation of the vacuum check valve
in the hose from servo to vacuum source. The word
VAC on the valve must point toward the vacuum
source.
(3) Loose or leaking vacuum hoses or connections.
(4) Secure attachment of both ends of the speed
control servo cable.
CAUTION: When test probing for voltage or conti-
nuity at electrical connectors, care must be taken
not to damage connector, terminals, or seals. If
these components are damaged, intermittent or
complete system failure may occur.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the XJ (Cherokee)/YJ (Wrangler)
model turn signal and hazard warning systems. Refer
to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit
descriptions and diagrams.
TURN SIGNAL SYSTEM
With the ignition switch in the ON or ACCESSORY
position and the turn signal switch lever (YJ) or
multi-function switch control lever (XJ) moved up
(right turn) or down (left turn), the turn signal sys-
tem is activated.
When the turn signal system is activated, the se-
lected (right or left) turn signal indicator lamp, front
park/turn signal lamp and rear tail/stop/turn signal
lamp bulb filaments will flash. With the headlamp
switch in the OFF position, the turn and front side
marker lamps flash in unison. With the headlamp
switch in the ON position, the turn and front side
marker lamps flash alternately.
HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM
The hazard warning is activated by a switch button
located below the ignition lock cylinder (YJ) or on the
top of the steering column (XJ) between the steering
wheel and the instrument panel. The hazard warning
flasher (YJ) or combination flasher (XJ) receives bat-
tery feed at all times, and the system is functional
regardless of ignition switch position. The hazard
warning switch button is identified with a double
triangle. On YJ models, push the switch button in to
activate the hazard warning system and pull the
button out to turn system off. On XJ models, push in
on the switch button to latch the switch and activate
the hazard warning system, and push in on the
switch button again to unlatch the switch and turn
the system off.
When the hazard warning system is activated, all
(right and left) turn signal indicator, front park/turn
signal lamp and rear tail/stop/turn signal lamp bulb
filaments will flash.
TURN SIGNAL FLASHER (YJ ONLY)
The turn signal flasher is located in the fuseblock
module. It contains one fixed contact point and one
contact point attached to a flexible bimetal arm. The
contact points are normally closed. When a turn sig-
nal is activated, current flows through the flasher. As
current flows through the bimetal arm it heats and
flexes to pull the contact points open, stopping cur-
rent flow. As the bimetal arm cools it straightens,
until the contact points close and the cycle repeats.
The standard flasher is designed to handle the cur-
rent flow requirements of the factory installed light-
ing. If supplemental lighting is added to the turn
signal circuits such as when towing a trailer with
lights, the current flow through the flasher increases.
This causes the flash rate to increase. It is recom-
mended that the standard flasher be replaced with a
heavy-duty (hazard warning) flasher when supple-
mental lighting is added.
However, when a turn signal bulb fails with a stan-
dard flasher, the remaining bulbs in that circuit will
light, but not flash. This will give the driver an indi-
cation to check the turn signal bulbs. Because a
heavy-duty flasher has different internal circuitry, a
failed bulb will not prevent the remaining bulbs in
the circuit from flashing. Therefore, it is recom-
mended that an occasional visual inspection of exte-
rior turn signal lamp operation be performed when a
heavy-duty flasher is installed.
HAZARD WARNING FLASHER (YJ ONLY)
The hazard warning flasher is located in the fuse-
block module. The hazard warning flasher contains
two normally open contact points mounted to two
flexible arms. A bimetal strip is attached between the
two arms. When the hazard warning is activated,
current flows through the flasher. As the current
flows through the bimetal strip it heats and pulls the
flexible arms together until the contact points close,
