GENERAL INFORMATION
Following are general descriptions of major compo-
nents used in XJ (Cherokee)/YJ (Wrangler) audio sys-
tems. Refer to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for
complete circuit descriptions and diagrams.
RADIOS
Radio options for the XJ and YJ models include an
AM/FM stereo or an AM/FM stereo/cassette receiver.
Both units are Electronically-Tuned Radios (ETR)
and include a clock function. For more information
on radio features, setting procedures, and control
functions refer to the owner's manual.
IN-LINE FUSE
Each radio receives fused battery feed when the ig-
nition switch is in the ON or ACCESSORY position.
There is an additional in-line fuse in the back of the
radio chassis. The in-line fuse (Fig. 1) will blow to
protect the vehicle electrical system in the event of
internal radio failure.
IGNITION-OFF DRAW FUSE
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD) fuse that is removed when the vehicle is
shipped from the factory. This fuse feeds various ac-
cessories that require current when the ignition
switch is in the OFF position, including the clock and
radio station preset memory functions. The fuse is re-
moved to prevent battery discharge during vehicle
storage.The IOD fuse should be checked if the radio station
preset memory or clock functions are erratic or inop-
erative. The IOD fuse is located in the Power Distri-
bution Center (PDC). Refer to underside of PDC
cover for IOD fuse identification.
RADIO ILLUMINATION RELAY
All radios are connected to a radio illumination re-
lay. The relay controls the source of battery feed for
radio/clock display illumination.
When the park and headlamp switch is in the OFF
position, the radio illumination relay remains de-en-
ergized. The radio/clock display receives full battery
voltage through the normally closed contacts of the
relay. This results in the radio/clock display being il-
luminated at full brightness for easier visibility in
daylight.
When the park and headlamp switch is in the ON
position, the radio illumination relay coil is ener-
gized. With the relay coil energized, the normally
closed contacts of the relay open, and the normally
open contacts of the relay close. This causes the ra-
dio/clock display to receive battery feed through the
instrument panel dimmer switch. The display illumi-
nation brightness can now be adjusted with other
panel lamps for night visibility.
SPEAKERS
Speaker system options include two, four or six (XJ
only) speaker locations. On XJ model two-speaker
systems, one speaker is located in each front door.
Four-speaker systems add one speaker at each end of
a rear-mounted overhead sound bar. The premium
six-speaker option upgrades all the speakers in the
above locations, and adds one tweeter at each end of
the lower instrument panel.
On YJ model two-speaker systems, one speaker is
located at each end of the instrument panel. Four-
speaker systems add one speaker at each end of a
rear-mounted overhead sound bar.

(6) Position the turn signal switch and wire har-
ness in the cylinder housing. Fold the wires against
the connector. Route the connector down through the
steering column jacket.
(7) Install the windshield wiper wire harness and
switch. Route the wire harness down through steer-
ing column jacket.
(8) Align the turn signal switch in the housing and
secure the switch with the attaching screws. Tighten
the screws to 4 Nzm (35 in. lbs.) torque.
(9) Install the dimmer switch actuator arm.
Tighten the attaching screws to 4 Nzm (35 in. lbs.)
torque.
(10) If equipped, install the cruise control wire har-
ness. Install the turn signal stalk by pushing it
straight into the column.
(11) Position the thrust washer, the upper bearing
preload spring and the canceling cam on the steering
shaft (Fig. 18).
(12) Place the turn signal switch in the neutral
(OFF) position and install the hazard warning switch
knob.
(13) Position the lockplate on the steering shaft.
Install a replacement lockplate retaining snap ring
on the sleeve of the Lock Plate Compressor C-4156.
Install the tool on the steering shaft (Fig. 19).
(14) Compress the lockplate with the compressor
tool and position the retaining snap ring in the steer-
ing shaft groove.
(15) Ensure that the retaining snap ring is com-
pletely seated in the groove before removing the tool.
Remove the tool and install the lockplate cover.(16) Install the steering wheel. Refer to the instal-
lation procedure. Tighten the steering wheel retain-
ing nut to 34 Nzm (25 ft. lbs.) torque.
(17) If removed, install the steering column in the
vehicle. Refer to the installation procedure.
(18) If disconnected, connect the battery negative
cable and, if equipped, reset the clock
