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.
SECTION IDENTIFICATION
Sections in Group 8W are organized by sub-sys-
tems. The sections contain circuit operation descrip-
tions, helpful information, and system diagrams. The
intention is to organize information by system, con-
sistently from year to year.
CONNECTOR LOCATIONS
Section 8W-90 contains Connector Location illus-
trations. The illustrations contain the connector
number and component identification. Connector Lo-
cation charts in Section 8W-90 reference the illustra-
tion number for components and connectors.
Section 8W-80 shows each connector and the cir-
cuits involved with that connector. The connectors
are identified using the number on the Diagram
pages.
SPLICE LOCATIONS
Splice Location charts in Section 8W-70 show the
entire splice, and provide references to other sections
the splice serves.
Section 8W-95 contains illustrations that show the
general location of the splices in each harness. The
illustrations show the splice by number, and provide
a written location.

TRAILER TOW
TRAILER TOW
The factory installed trailer tow system in this ve-
hicle uses three relays and a circuit breaker along
with the trailer tow wiring connector located below
the rear bumper.
Battery voltage for the trailer tow circuit breaker
and relays is supplied on circuit A11. This circuit is
HOT at all times and connects to the power accessory
tap in the fuse block. An in line 10 amp circuit pro-
tected breaker protects circuit A11 and the trailer
tow circuits. The trailer tow circuit breaker is located
in the left rear quarter panel.
STOP LAMP RELAY
Power for the coil side of the stop lamp relay is
supplied by circuit L50. This circuit connects to the
stop lamps. Ground for the coil side is supplied on
circuit Z1.
When the operator depresses the brake pedal, volt-
age flows through the coil of the relay to ground
causing the contacts in the relay to close connecting
circuits A11 and 95.
Circuit 95 connects to the left and right turn signal
relays. Voltage flows through the closed contacts in
the relays to the trailer tow connector.
RIGHT TURN RELAY
Power for the coil side of the right turn relay is
supplied by circuit L60. This circuit connects to the
right side turn signal lamps. Ground for the coil side
of the relay is supplied on circuit Z1.
When the operator turns the right turn signal ON,
power flows through the coil in the relay to ground
causing the contacts in the relay to switch from there
normally CLOSED position to connect circuits 94 and
L60.
Circuit 94 is the feed for the contact side of the re-
lay. Circuit L60 connects from the relay to the trailer
tow connector.
Circuit 94 is fed power through the normally
CLOSED side of the stop lamp relay and circuit A11.
The A11 circuit is HOT at all times and protected by
a 10 amp circuit breaker located in the left rear
quarter panel.
LEFT TURN RELAY
Power for the coil side of the left turn relay is sup-
plied by circuit L61. This circuit connects to the left
side turn signal lamps. Ground for the coil side of the
relay is supplied on circuit Z1.
When the operator turns the left turn signal ON,
power flows through the coil in the relay to ground
causing the contacts in the relay to switch from there
normally CLOSED position to connect circuits 94 and
L61.
Circuit 94 is the feed for the contact side of the re-
lay. Circuit L61 connects from the relay to the trailer
tow connector.
Circuit 94 is fed power through the normally
CLOSED side of the stop lamp relay and circuit A11.
The A11 circuit is HOT at all times and protected by
a 10 amp circuit breaker located in the right rear
quarter panel.

FORM-IN-PLACE GASKETS
There are several places where form-in-place gas-
kets are used on the engine.DO NOT use form-in-
place gasket material unless specified.Care
must be taken when applying form-in-place gaskets.
Bead size, continuity and location are of great impor-
tance. Too thin a bead can result in leakage while too
much can result in spill-over. A continuous bead of
the proper width is essential to obtain a leak-free
joint.
Two types of form-in-place gasket materials are
used in the engine area (Mopar Silicone Rubber Ad-
hesive Sealant and Mopar Gasket Maker). Each have
different properties and cannot be used interchange-
ably.
MOPAR SILICONE RUBBER ADHESIVE
SEALANT
Mopar Silicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant, normally
black in color, is available in 3 ounce tubes. Moisture
in the air causes the sealant material to cure. This
material is normally used on flexible metal flanges.
It has a shelf life of a year and will not properly cure
if over aged. Always inspect the package for the ex-
piration date before use.
MOPAR GASKET MAKER
Mopar Gasket Maker, normally red in color, is
available in 6 cc tubes. This anaerobic type gasket
material cures in the absence of air when squeezedbetween smooth machined metallic surfaces. It will
not cure if left in the uncovered tube. DO NOT use
on flexible metal flanges.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Parts assembled with form-in-place gaskets may be
disassembled without unusual effort. In some in-
stances, it may be necessary to lightly tap the part
with a mallet or other suitable tool to break the seal
between the mating surfaces. A flat gasket scraper
may also be lightly tapped into the joint but care
must be taken not to damage the mating surfaces.
Scrape or wire brush all gasket surfaces to remove
all loose material. Inspect stamped parts to ensure
gasket rails are flat. Flatten rails with a hammer on
a flat plate, if required. Gasket surfaces must be free
of oil and dirt. Make sure the old gasket material is
removed from blind attaching holes.
GASKET APPLICATION
Assembling parts using a form-in-place gasket re-
quires care.
Mopar Silicone Rubber Adhesive Sealant should be
applied in a continuous bead approximately 3 mm
(0.12 inch) in diameter. All mounting holes must be
circled. For corner sealing,a3or6mm(1/8 or 1/4
inch) drop is placed in the center of the gasket con-
tact area. Uncured sealant may be removed with a
shop towel. Components should be torqued in place
while the sealant is still wet to the touch (within 10
