WIRING REPAIR
When replacing or repairing a wire, it is important
that the correct gauge be used as shown in the wiring
diagrams. The wires must also be held securely in
place to prevent damage to the insulation.
(1) Disconnect battery negative cable.
(2) Remove 1 inch of insulation from each end of
the wire.
(3) Place a piece of heat shrink tubing over one side
of the wire. Make sure the tubing will be long enough
to cover and seal the entire repair area.
(4) Spread the strands of the wire apart on each
part of the exposed wires (Fig. 11 example 1).
(5) Push the two ends of wire together until the
strands of wire are close to the insulation (Fig. 11
example 2).
(6) Twist the wires together (Fig. 11 example 3).
(7) Solder the connection together using rosin core
type solder only.Do not use acid core solder.
(8) Center the heat shrink tubing over the joint,
and heat using a heat gun. Heat the joint until the
tubing is tightly sealed and sealant comes out of both
ends of the tubing.
(9) Secure the wire to the existing ones to prevent
chafing or damage to the insulation.
(10) Connect battery and test all affected systems.

HOW TO USE THIS GROUP
The purpose of this group is to show the electrical
circuits in a clear, simple fashion and to make trou-
bleshooting easier. Components that work together
are shown together. All electrical components used in
a specific system are shown on one diagram. The feed
for a system is shown at the top of the page. All
wires, connectors, splices, and components are shown
in the flow of current to the bottom of the page. Wir-
ing which is not part of the circuit represented is ref-
erenced to another page/section, where the complete
circuit is shown. In addition, all switches, compo-
nents, and modules are shown in theat rest posi-
tion with the doors closed and the key removed
from the ignition.
If a component is part of several different circuits,
it is shown in the diagram for each. For example, the
headlamp switch is the main part of the exterior
lighting, but it also affects the interior lighting and
the chime warning system.
It is important to realize that no attempt is
made on the diagrams to represent components
and wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For
example, a short piece of wire is treated the
same as a long one. In addition, switches and
other components are shown as simply as pos-
sible, with regard to function only.
The wiring diagram show circuits for all wheel-
bases. If there is a difference in systems or compo-
nents between wheel-bases, an identifier is placed
next to the component.

GENERAL INFORMATION
This section of the wiring diagrams is divided into
two sub-sections; Heater, and A/C and Heater. When
referring 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 Power
Distribution Center (PDC) to circuit A48. Circuit A48
supplies battery voltage to fuse 5 in the fuse block.
Fuse 5 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. 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.
Circuit Z1 provides ground for the blower motor.
A/C-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 (4.0L engine).
In the RUN or ACCESSORY position, the ignition
switch connects circuit A1 from fuse 11 in the PDC to
circuit A48. Circuit A48 supplies battery voltage to
fuse 5 in the fuse block. Fuse 5 supplies power to the
A/C-Heater control switch on circuit C7.
Fuse 13 in the PDC supplies battery voltage to the
contact side of the radiator fan relay on circuit F141.
Circuit A14 from fuse 15 in the PDC powers PDC
fuse 4.
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 5 in the fuse block. Fuse 5 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.
