GENERAL INFORMATION
This section of the wiring diagrams is divided into
two sub-sections; Heater, and A/C and Heater. Whenreferring to the circuit descriptions or wiring dia-
grams, ensure that you use the correct sub-section.
HEATER SYSTEM
BLOWER MOTOR
In the RUN or ACCESSORY position, the ignition
switch connects circuit A1 from fuse 6 in the PDC to
circuit A48. Circuit A48 supplies battery voltage to
fuse 4 in the fuse block. Fuse 4 supplies power to the
heat mode switch on circuit C7.
Circuit C43 from the heat mode switch splices to
supply voltage to the blower motor switch and the
blower motor resistor block. The blower motor switch
sets blower motor speed to HIGH, M1, M2, or LOW.
When the blower motor switch is in the LOW posi-
tion, circuit C43 from the heat mode supplies voltage
to the resistor block. Voltage does not pass through
the blower motor switch in the LOW position.
In the M1 position, the blower motor switch sup-
plies voltage to the resistor block on circuit C4. Fromcircuit C4, voltage passes through three resistors in
the resistor block to the blower motor on circuit C1.
In the M2 position, the blower motor supplies volt-
age to the resistor block on circuit C6. From circuit
C6 voltage flows through two resistors to the blower
motor on circuit C1.
In the HIGH position, the blower motor switch con-
nects directly to the blower motor on circuit C1. Volt-
age does not pass through the resistor block in the
HIGH position.
Circuit Z1 provides ground for the blower motor.

AC/HEATER SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION
Several fuses supply power for the air conditioning/
heater system. In the START or RUN positions, the
ignition switch connects circuit A1 from fuse 6 in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC) to circuit A21. Cir-
cuit A21 powers a bus bar in the PDC that feeds cir-
cuit F12 through fuse 11. Circuit F12 feeds the
contact side of the A/C compressor clutch relay and
the coil side of the radiator fan relay.
In the RUN or ACCESSORY position, the ignition
switch connects circuit A1 from fuse 6 in the PDC to
circuit A48. Circuit A48 supplies battery voltage tofuse 4 in the fuse block. Fuse 4 supplies power to the
A/C-Heater control switch on circuit C7.
Fuse 15 in the PDC supplies battery voltage to the
contact side of the radiator fan relay on circuit F141.
Circuit A14 from fuse 2 in the PDC powers PDC fuse
15.
BLOWER MOTOR

switch connects circuit A1 from fuse 6 in the PDC to
circuit A48. Circuit A48 supplies battery voltage to
J8W-42 AIR CONDITIONING/HEATERÐXJ-RHD 8W - 42 - 1

fuse 4 in the fuse block. Fuse 4 supplies power to the
A/C-Heater control switch on circuit C7.
Circuit C43 from the A/C-heater switch splices to
supply voltage to the blower motor switch and the
blower motor resistor block. The blower motor switch
sets blower motor speed to HIGH, M1, M2, or LOW.
When the blower motor switch is in the LOW posi-
tion, circuit C43 from the A/C-Heater switch supplies
voltage to the resistor block. Voltage does not pass
through the blower motor switch in the LOW position
In the M1 position, the blower motor switch sup-
plies voltage to the resistor block on circuit C4. From
circuit C4, voltage passes through three resistors in
the resistor block to the blower motor on circuit C1.
In the M2 position, the blower motor supplies volt-
age to the resistor block on circuit C6. From circuit
C6 voltage flows through two resistors to the blower
motor on circuit C1.
In the HIGH position, the blower motor switch con-
nects directly to the blower motor on circuit C1. Volt-
age does not pass through the resistor block in the
HIGH position.
Circuit Z1 provides ground for the blower motor.
AIR CONDITIONING OPERATION
When the A/C-heater control switch is moved to an
A/C position or the defrost position, the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) receives the A/C select signal
on circuit C90. Circuit C90 connects to cavity 28 of
the PCM.
Circuit also C90 splices to the low pressure switch
and to supply battery voltage to the coil side of the
A/C compressor clutch relay. If the low pressure
switch is closed, circuit C90 connects to circuit C21.
Circuit C21 supplies battery voltage to the A/C cy-
cling switch. Circuit C91 from the A/C cycling switch
provides the A/C request signal to the PCM. Circuit
C91 connects to cavity 27 of the PCM. Circuit Z1 pro-
vides ground for the A/C cycling switch.
After receiving the A/C request signal, the PCM
supplies ground for the A/C compressor clutch relay
on circuit C13. Circuit F12 from fuse 11 in the PDC
supplies battery voltage to the contact side of the A/C
compressor clutch relay. When the PCM grounds the
relay, the contacts close and connect circuit F12 to
circuit C3. Circuit C3 feeds the A/C compressor
clutch.
Also after receiving the A/C request signal, the
PCM supplies ground for the coil side of the radiator
fan relay on circuit C27 (4.0L engine). Circuit C27
connects to cavity 31 of the PCM. Circuit F12 sup-
plies battery voltage to the coil side of the relay.When the PCM grounds the coil side of the radia-
tor fan relay, the contacts close and connect circuit
F141 from fuse 15 in the PDC to circuit C25. Circuit
C25 feeds the radiator fan motor. Circuit Z1 provides
ground for the motor.

switch connects circuit A1 from fuse 6 in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) to circuit A21. Circuit A21
powers a bus bar in the PDC that feeds circuit F12
through fuse 11. Circuit F12 feeds the coil side of the
radiator fan relay.
The PCM supplies ground for the coil side of the
radiator fan relay on circuit C27. Circuit C27 con-
nects to cavity 31 of the PCM.
When the PCM grounds the coil side of the radia-
tor fan relay, the contacts close and connect circuit
F141 from fuse 15 in the PDC to circuit C25. Circuit
C25 feeds the radiator fan motor. Circuit Z1 provides
ground for the radiator fan motor.

LEAK-DOWN TEST
After cleaning and inspection, test each tappet for
specified leak-down rate tolerance to ensure zero-lash
operation (Fig. 14).
Swing the weighted arm of the hydraulic valve tap-
pet tester away from the ram of the Universal Leak-
Down Tester .
(1) Place a 7.925-7.950 mm (0.312-0.313 inch) di-
ameter ball bearing on the plunger cap of the tappet.
(2) Lift the ram and position the tappet (with the
ball bearing) inside the tester cup.
(3) Lower the ram, then adjust the nose of the ram
until it contacts the ball bearing. DO NOT tighten
the hex nut on the ram.
(4) Fill the tester cup with hydraulic valve tappet
test oil until the tappet is completely submerged.
(5) Swing the weighted arm onto the push rod and
pump the tappet plunger up and down to remove air.
When the air bubbles cease, swing the weighted arm
away and allow the plunger to rise to the normal po-
sition.
(6) Adjust the nose of the ram to align the pointer
with the SET mark on the scale of the tester and
tighten the hex nut.
(7) Slowly swing the weighted arm onto the push
rod.
(8) Rotate the cup by turning the handle at the
base of the tester clockwise one revolution every 2
seconds.
(9) Observe the leak-down time interval from the
instant the pointer aligns with the START mark on
the scale until the pointer aligns with the 0.125
mark. A normally functioning tappet will require 20-
110 seconds to leak-down. Discard tappets with leak-
down time interval not within this specification.
INSTALLATION
It is not necessary to charge the tappets with en-
gine oil. They will charge themselves within a very
short period of engine operation.(1) Dip each tappet in Mopar Engine Oil Supple-
ment, or equivalent.
(2) Use Hydraulic Valve Tappet Removal/Installa-
tion Tool C-4129-A to install each tappet in the same
bore from where it was originally removed.
(3) Install the push rods in their original locations.
(4) Install the rocker arms and bridge and pivot
assemblies at their original locations. Loosely install
the capscrews at each bridge.
(5) Tighten the capscrews alternately, one turn at
a time, to avoid damaging the bridges. Tighten the
capscrews to 28 Nzm (21 ft. lbs.) torque.
(6) Pour the remaining Mopar Engine Oil Supple-
ment, or equivalent over the entire valve actuating
assembly. The Mopar Engine Oil Supplement, or
equivalent must remain with the engine oil for at
least 1 600 km (1,000 miles). The oil supplement
need not be drained until the next scheduled oil
change.
(7) Install the engine cylinder head cover.
