more methanol along with other alcohols called cosol-
vents.
Problems that are the result of using methanol/gas-
oline blends are not the responsibility of Chrysler
Corporation. They may not be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
MTBE/ETBE
Gasoline and MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)
blends are a mixture of unleaded gasoline and up to
15 percent MTBE. Gasoline and ETBE (Ethyl Ter-
tiary Butyl Ether) are blends of gasoline and up to
17 percent ETBE. Gasoline blended with MTBE or
ETBE may be used.
CLEAN AIR GASOLINE
Many gasolines are now being blended that con-
tribute to cleaner air, especially in those areas of the
country where air pollution levels are high. These
new blends provide a cleaner burning fuel and some
are referred to asReformulated Gasoline.
In areas of the country where carbon monoxide lev-
els are high, gasolines are being treated with oxygen-
ated materials such as MTBE, ETBE and ethanol.
Chrysler Corporation supports these efforts toward
cleaner air and recommends the use of these gaso-
lines as they become available.
IGNITION CABLES, DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND
ROTOR
Inspect and test ignition cables, distributor cap and
rotor when the spark plugs are replaced. Oil and
grime should be cleaned from the ignition cables and
distributor cap to avoid possible spark plug fouling.
Mopar Foamy Engine Degreaser or equivalent is rec-
ommended for cleaning the engine compartment. For
proper service and diagnostic procedures refer to

tion. To avoid fluid contamination, use fluid from a
properly sealed container.CAUTION: Never use reclaimed brake fluid or fluid
from an unsealed container. In addition, do not use
fluid from a container that has been opened and al-
lowed to stand for an extended length of time.
Moisture in the air can be absorbed by the fluid,
which causes dilution with loss of effectiveness.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION
The manual transmission should be inspected for
oil leaks and proper oil level when other under vehi-
cle service is performed.
LUBRICANT SPECIFICATION
When it becomes necessary to add to or change the
lube oil in a Jeep manual transmission, use SAE
75W-90, API Quality Grade GL-5 gear lubricant.

IGNITION-OFF DRAW
GENERAL INFORMATION
Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) refers to power being
drained from the battery with the ignition switch
turned OFF. A normal vehicle electrical system will
draw from 5 to 20 milliamps (0.005 - 0.020 amps).
This is with the ignition switch in the OFF position,
and all non-ignition controlled circuits in proper
working order. The 20 milliamps are needed to sup-
ply PCM memory, digital clock memory, and electron-
ically-tuned radio memory.
A vehicle that has not been operated for approxi-
mately 20 days, may discharge the battery to an in-
adequate level. When a vehicle will not be used for
20 days or more (stored), remove the IOD fuse in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC). This will reduce
battery discharging.
Excessive battery drain can be caused by:
²electrical items left on
²faulty or improperly adjusted switches
²internally shorted generator
²intermittent shorts in the wiring.
If the IOD is over 20 milliamps, the problem must
be found and corrected before replacing a battery. In
most cases, the battery can be charged and returned
to service.
DIAGNOSIS
Testing for high-amperage IOD must be per-
formed first to prevent damage to most milli-
amp meters.
(1) Verify that all electrical accessories are off.
Turn off all lamps, remove ignition key, and close all
doors. If the vehicle is equipped with illuminated en-
try or electronically-tuned radio, allow the systems to
automatically shut off (time out). This may take up
to 3 minutes.
(2) Determine that the underhood lamp is operat-
ing properly, then disconnect or remove bulb.
(3) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
(4) Connect a typical 12-volt test lamp (low-watt-
age bulb) between the negative cable clamp and the
battery negative terminal. Make sure that the doors
remain closed so that illuminated entry is not acti-
vated.The test lamp may light brightly for up to 3 min-
utes, or may not light at all, depending upon the ve-
hicle's electrical equipment. The term brightly, as
used throughout the following tests, implies the
brightness of the test lamp will be the same as if it
were connected across the battery.
The test lamp must be securely clamped to the neg-
ative cable clamp and battery negative terminal. If
the test lamp becomes disconnected during any part
of the IOD test, the electronic timer function will be
activated and all tests must be repeated.
(5) After 3 minutes the test lamp should turn off
or be dimly lit, depending upon the vehicle's electri-
cal equipment. If the test lamp remains brightly lit,
do not disconnect it. Remove each fuse or circuit
breaker (refer to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams) until
test lamp is either off or dimly lit. This will isolate
each circuit and identify the source of the high-am-
perage draw.
If the test lamp is still brightly lit after disconnect-
ing each fuse and circuit breaker, disconnect the wir-
ing harness from the generator. If test lamp now
turns off or is dimly lit, see Charging System in this
group to diagnose faulty generator. Do not disconnect
the test lamp.
After high-amperage IOD has been corrected, low-
amperage IOD may be checked. It is now safe to in-
stall a milliamp meter to check for low- amperage
IOD.
(6) With test lamp still connected securely, clamp a
milliamp meter between battery negative terminal
and negative cable clamp.
Do not open any doors or turn on any electri-
cal accessories with the test lamp disconnected
or the milliamp meter may be damaged.
(7) Disconnect test lamp. Observe milliamp meter.
The current draw should not exceed 0.020 amp. If
draw exceeds 20 milliamps, isolate each circuit by re-
moving circuit breakers and fuses. The milliamp
meter reading will drop when the source of the draw
is disconnected. Repair this circuit as necessary,
whether a wiring short, incorrect switch adjustment
or a component failure is found.

SPECIFICATIONS......................... 5
GENERAL INFORMATION
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the XJ (Cherokee)/YJ (Wrangler) horn
systems. Refer to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for
complete circuit descriptions and diagrams.
HORN SWITCH
XJ
Two horn switches are installed in the steering
wheel, one on each side of the center-mounted driv-
er's airbag module. When either switch is depressed
it completes a circuit to ground for the coil side of the
horn relay. The steering wheel and steering column
must be properly grounded for the horn switches to
function. The horn switches are only serviced as a set
with their wiring. If either switch should fail, both
switches must be replaced.
YJ
A single switch is installed in the center of the
steering wheel, directly under the horn button. When
the horn button is depressed the switch completes a
circuit to ground for the coil side of the horn relay.
The steering wheel and steering column must be
properly grounded for the horn switch to function.
The horn switch is available for service.
HORN RELAY
On XJ models, the horn relay is a mini-relay in-
stalled in the relay center, which is mounted to the
lower instrument panel reinforcement inboard of thesteering column. On YJ models, the horn relay is a
ISO relay installed in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC) near the battery tray. Refer to underside of
PDC cover for relay identification.
One side of the horn relay electromagnetic coil re-
ceives battery voltage at all times. When a horn
switch is depressed, the other side of the relay coil is
grounded. The energized relay coil causes the nor-
mally open relay contacts to close, providing battery
voltage to the horn.
If a problem is encountered with a continuously
sounding horn, it can usually be quickly resolved by
removing the horn relay until further diagnosis is
completed.
HORNS
On YJ models, a standard single, low-note, dia-
phragm-type horn is mounted and grounded to the
left inner fender shield under the hood. Dual horns
are standard equipment on XJ models. The high-note
diaphragm-type horn is mounted and grounded to
the left radiator closure panel brace behind the front
bumper. The low-note diaphragm-type horn is con-
nected in parallel with the high-note horn and is
mounted and grounded to the right radiator closure
panel brace behind the front bumper.
On XJ models, a cadmium-plated screw is
used to attach the horns to the body. Do not
substitute other types of screws as they may be-
come corroded and cause a loss of ground.
