INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
The instrument cluster contains the gauges and
warning lamps. All gauges have magnetic move-
ments.
When the ignition switch is in the START or RUN
position, circuit A21 feeds circuit F87 through fuse 17
in the fuse block. Circuit A1 from fuse 6 in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) supplies voltage to circuit
A21. Circuit A1 is HOT at all times.
Circuit F87 connects to the cluster connector to
power the gauges and to the telltale connector to
power the warning lamps.
Circuit E2 from fuse 19 in the fuse block feeds the
illumination lamps. Circuit E2 originates at the head-
lamp switch and continues through fuse 19. The
headlamp switch powers circuit E2 when the parking
lamps or headlamp are ON.
Circuit Z2 provides ground for the indicator lamps
and illumination lamps.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Circuit G20 connects the engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge to the engine coolant temperature sensor.
The sensor is a variable resistor and case grounded to
the engine. Circuit F87 connects to the instrument
cluster left connector and supplies voltage for the
gauge.
The gauge uses two coils. Current passing through
the coils creates a magnetic field. Position of the
gauge needle is controlled by the amount of current
passing through the coils to ground at the sensor.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE WARNING
LAMP
Circuit G20 connects the engine coolant tempera-
ture warning lamp to the engine coolant temperature
switch. When the switch closes, battery voltage from
circuit F87 flows through the lamp to ground through
the switch on circuit G20. The engine coolant tem-
perature switch is case grounded to the engine. Cir-cuit F87 connects to the instrument cluster connector
and supplies voltage for the lamp.
Circuit G20 also connects to the warning lamp to
ground when the ignition switch is in the START
position. When the ignition switch is in the START
position, the lamp illuminates for a bulb test.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level sensor is a variable resistor. Circuit
G4 connects the fuel level sensor to the fuel gauge in
the instrument cluster. Circuit F87 from fuse 17 in
the fuse block supplies voltage to the fuel gauge. The
fuel level sensor draws voltage from circuit F87
through the fuel gauge on circuit G4. Circuit G4
connects to circuit 57 in the fuel pump module har-
ness. Circuit 57 connects to the fuel level sensor.
Circuit 99 in the fuel pump module harness con-
nects to circuit Z1. Circuit Z1 provides the ground
path for the fuel level sensor. The grounding point for
circuit Z1 is the left side of the cowl panel.
As current flows through the coils in the fuel gauge,
it creates a magnetic field. One of the coils in the
gauge receives fixed current. The other coil is con-
nected to the level sensor. The magnetic field controls
the position of the fuel gauge pointer.
The fuel level sensor contains a variable resistor. As
the position of the float arm on the fuel level sensor
changes, the resistor changes the current flow
through second coil in the fuel gauge. A change in
current flow alters the magnetic field in the fuel
gauge, which changes the pointer position.
LOW FUEL WARNING LAMP
Circuit G4 connects the fuel level sensor to the fuel
gauge. The low fuel level module at the rear of the
gauge monitors resistance in circuit G4. The low fuel
level module powers an light emitting diode (LED)
when the resistance in circuit G4 reaches a calibrated
level. The LED illuminates the Low Fuel indicator.
Refer to Group 8E for additional information.
J8W-40 INSTRUMENT CLUSTERÐXJ VEHICLES 8W - 40 - 1

CHARGING SYSTEM INDICATOR LAMP
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) illuminates
the charging system indicator lamp by providing
ground for the lamp on circuit G12. Circuit G12 con-
nects to cavity 36 of the PCM. Circuit F87 supplies
battery voltage to the lamp.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) SWITCH
When the 4WD switch closes, circuit Z1 provides
ground for the 4WD indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster. Circuit F87 connects to the instrument clus-
ter and supplies battery voltage to the 4WD indicator
lamp. Circuit 107 connects the indicator lamp to the
4WD switch. Circuit 106 connects the lamp to the in-
strument cluster and circuit F87.
CLUSTER GROUND
Circuit Z1 from the instrument cluster left connec-
tor provides ground for the illumination lamps and
indicator lamps.
HELPFUL INFORMATION
²If the warning lamps don't operate, check fuse 14
in the fuse block.
²If the indicator lamps and illumination lamps
don't operate, check fuse 13 in the fuse block.
²Inspect the ground at the instrument panel lower

IGNITION SWITCH LAMP
The time delay relay is used to allow a time-ON
function for the ignition switch lamp and the courtesy
lamp. Power for the relay is received on the M1
circuit from the IOD fuse (fuse F9) in the fuse block.
Circuit M2 provides ground for the time delay relay
through the right and left door ajar switches and the
headlamp switch. When a door is opened, or the
headlamp switch is moved to the dome lamp position,a ground path is provided for the relay on circuit M2.
This energizes the relay, causing the contacts to close.
When the relay contacts close, power is provided
through the relay to circuit M50. The M50 circuit
supplies current to the ignition switch lamp. Circuit
Z1 provides ground for the lamp.
GLOVE BOX LAMP
Circuit M1 from the IOD fuse (fuse F9) in the fuse
block powers the glove box lamp. A case grounded
switch, in series after the lamp, closes when the glove
box door is opened. The switch completes a path to
ground on circuit Z1.
CARGO LAMP, COURTESY LAMPS AND DOME
LAMP
Circuit M1 from the IOD fuse (fuse F9) in the fuse
block supplies power to the cargo, courtesy lamps and
dome lamp. This circuit is HOT at all times. The
ground path for the lamp is provided in three differ-
ent ways.
One way is through the door jamb switches. Circuit
M2 connects to the door jamb switches from the cour-
tesy and dome lamps. The switches are connected to
ground circuit Z1. When a door is opened, the plunger
in the switch closes, completing a path to ground.
The second way is through the liftgate switch. Cir-
cuit M2 connects to circuit M4 at the cargo lamp.
Circuit M4 connects to the liftgate switch. The lift-
gate switch connects to ground circuit Z1. When the
lift gate opens, the plunger in the switch closes, com-
pleting a path to ground.
The third ground path is through the headlamp
switch. Circuit M2 is spliced in with the headlamp
switch. When the operator turns the headlamp switch
to the dome lamp ON position, a ground path is
provided through the switch.

Circuit A6 from fuse 16 in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) supplies battery voltage for the under-
hood lamp. A mercury switch, in series after the
lamp, connects the lamp to ground on circuit Z1.
When the hood is raised, mercury inside the switch
moves to a position where it connects circuit M1 to
ground circuit Z1, illuminating the lamp.
CHIME/BUZZER MODULE
The buzzer or optional chime module sounds an au-
dible warning tone. The tone sounds for seat belt
warning and when the ignition key is in the ignition
switch while the drivers door is open. The tone also
sounds when the ignition key is in the ON position
while the drivers side seat belt is not buckled. Lastly,
the tone sounds when the headlamps are ON when
the ignition is OFF. Refer to Group 8U for system op-
eration.
When the ignition switch is in the RUN or START
position, circuit F87 from fuse 17 in the fuse block
supplies power to the chime/buzzer module. Circuit
A21 from the ignition switch supplies power to fuse
17.
Circuit L7 from fuse 15 in the fuse block also sup-
plies power to the chime/buzzer module. Circuit A3
from fuse 5 in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
powers fuse 15.
When the parking lamps or headlamps are ON, the
headlamp switch connects circuit G26 with the driv-
ers side door jamb switch. Circuit G26 also connects
to the key-in switch. Circuit M11 connects the key-in
switch to the chime/buzzer module and the headlamp
switch.
If the headlamps are ON, and the drivers door
opens, ground for the chime/buzzer is on circuit C26
from the headlamp switch through the door jamb
switch to circuit Z1.
If the headlamps are OFF with the key in the ig-
nition while the drivers side door is open, ground forthe chime/buzzer is supplied through the key-in
switch. The ground path is over circuit M11, through
the closed key-in switch to circuit C26. From circuit
C26, the ground path continues through the drivers
door jamb switch to circuit Z1.
Circuit G11 from the buzzer powers the seat belt
warning lamp in the instrument cluster. Circuit Z1
at the instrument cluster provides ground for the
lamp.
Circuit G10 from the buzzer connects to the seat
belt switch. When the seat belt switch closes a path
to ground is completed on circuit Z1 and the tone
sounds momentarily.
Circuit Z1 also grounds the chime\buzzer module.
