POWER LOCK MOTOR
(1) Once it is determined which lock motor is inop-
erative, that motor can be tested. Disconnect the wire
connector at the motor. Apply 12 volts to the motor
terminals to check its operation in one direction. Re-
verse the polarity to check the operation in the other
direction. If OK, repair circuits to power lock/unlock
relays as required. If not OK, replace the motor.
(2) If all lock motors are inoperative, the problem
may be caused by one shorted motor. Disconnecting a
shorted motor will allow the good motors to operate.
Disconnect each motor connector, one at a time, and
re-check both lock and unlock functions while operat-
ing the door lock switch. If disconnecting one motor
causes the other motors to become functional, go
back to step 1 to test the disconnected motor.
KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER
(1) Depress either transmitter button and note
whether red Light-Emitting Diode (LED) on trans-
mitter case lights. If OK, go to next step. If not OK,
replace batteries as described under Keyless Entry
Transmitter in Service Procedures. Test transmitter
operation. If OK, discard faulty batteries. If not OK,
go to next step.
(2) Perform transmitter program procedure with
suspect transmitter and another known good trans-
mitter, as described in Service Procedures. Test oper-
ation with both transmitters. If both transmitters fail
to operate power locks, see Keyless Entry Module di-
agnosis. If known good transmitter operates power
locks and suspect transmitter does not, replace faulty
transmitter. Be certain to perform transmitter pro-
gram procedure again when replacing faulty trans-
mitter and to erase test transmitter access code from
keyless entry module.
KEYLESS ENTRY MODULE
(1) Check fuse 9 in fuseblock module. If OK, go to
next step. If not OK, replace fuse.
(2) Check for battery voltage at fuse 9. If OK, go to
next step. If not OK, repair circuit from power distri-
bution center.
(3) Access keyless entry module connectors as de-
scribed in Keyless Entry Module Remove/Install.
(4) Unplug module connector from module. Check
connector and receptacle in module for loose, cor-
roded, or damaged terminals and pins. If OK, go to
next step. If not OK, repair as required.
(5) Probe connector cavity for module terminal 1
and check for battery voltage. If OK, go to next step.
If not OK, repair circuit to fuse 9 as required.
(6) Install a jumper wire from connector cavity for
module terminal 1 to connector cavity for module ter-
minal 3. Doors should lock. If OK, go to step 8. If not
OK, go to next step.
(7) Check for continuity between connector cavity
for module terminal 3 and lock relay terminal 3 (86).
There should be continuity. If OK, replace lock relay.
If not OK, repair circuit as required.
(8) Install a jumper wire from connector cavity for
module terminal 1 to connector cavity for module ter-
minal 4. Doors should unlock. If OK, replace module.
If not OK, go to next step.
(9) Check for continuity between connector cavity
for module terminal 4 and unlock relay terminal 3
(86). There should be continuity. If OK, replace un-
lock relay. If not OK, repair circuit as required.

GENERAL INFORMATION
This group covers the buzzer warning system,
which is standard equipment on XJ (Cherokee)/YJ
(Wrangler) models. The system provides an audible
warning to the driver when it monitors the following
conditions:
²key is in ignition switch with the driver's door
open
²head or park lamps are on with driver's door open
(XJ only)
²driver's seat belt is not buckled with ignition
switch in ON position.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the buzzer warning system. Refer to
Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete circuit de-
scriptions and diagrams.
BUZZER MODULE
The buzzer module is located in the fuseblock mod-
ule under the left end of the instrument panel. It re-
ceives battery voltage at all times from (fuse 15 - XJ,
fuse 3 - YJ) the fuseblock module. It also receives a
second battery feed (fuse 17 - XJ, fuse 9 - YJ) when
the ignition switch is in the ON or START position.
Other inputs to the module include the driver's door
jamb switch, the driver's seat belt switch, the ignition
key-in switch, and the headlamp switch (XJ only). The
only output of the module is a timed 4 to 8 second feed
to the seat belt reminder lamp in the message center of
the instrument cluster. The timer function begins after
the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.
The buzzer module can not be repaired. If faulty, it
must be replaced.
DRIVER'S DOOR JAMB SWITCH
The driver's door jamb switch is mounted to the
driver's door hinge pillar. The switch closes a path to
ground for the buzzer module through the key-in
switch or headlamp switch (XJ only) when the driv-
er's door is opened, and opens when the driver's door
is closed. This switch can not be repaired. If faulty, it
must be replaced.
IGNITION KEY-IN SWITCH
XJ MODELS
The key-in switch is integral to the ignition switch,
which is mounted on the right side of the steering col-
umn. It closes a path to ground for the buzzer module
when the ignition key is inserted in the ignition lock cyl-
inder and the driver's door jamb switch is closed (door
open). The switch opens when the key is removed from
the ignition lock cylinder. This switch can not be re-
paired. If faulty, the entire ignition switch must be re-
placed. Refer to Group 8D - Ignition Systems for service
procedures.
YJ MODELS
The key-in switch is mounted within the steering col-
umn in the lock cylinder housing. It closes a path to
ground for the buzzer module when the ignition key is
inserted in the ignition lock cylinder and the driver's
door jamb switch is closed (door open). The switch opens
when the key is removed from the ignition lock cylinder.
This switch is available for service replacement. Refer
to Group 19 - Steering for service procedures.
HEADLAMP SWITCH (XJ ONLY)
The headlamp switch is located in the instrument
panel. It closes a path to ground for the buzzer module
when the park or headlamps are on and the driver's
door jamb switch is closed (door open). The switch opens
the ground path when the park and headlamps are
turned off. The headlamp switch can not be repaired. If
faulty, it must be replaced. Refer to Group 8E - Instru-
ment Panel and Gauges for service procedures.
DRIVER'S SEAT BELT SWITCH
The driver's seat belt switch is integral to the driv-
er's seat belt buckle-half assembly. The switch is nor-
mally closed, providing a ground path to the buzzer
module. When the tip-half of the seat belt is inserted
into the seat belt buckle, the switch opens the buzzer
module ground path. The seat belt switch can not be
repaired. If faulty, the entire driver's seat belt buck-
le-half must be replaced. Refer to Group 23 - Body
Components for service procedures.
