1996 CHRYSLER VOYAGER alternator

HEADLAMP LEVELING MOTOR
This vehicle is equipped with a remote headlamp
leveling system. This system allows the driver to
adjust the vertical headlamp aim from the interior of
the vehicle to compensate for passenger or cargo
load. A headlamp leveling switch is located in the
instrument panel and controls the headlamp leveling
motor found on the back of the headlamp module.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
When a vehicle experiences problems with the head-
lamp system, verify the condition of the battery connec-
tions, charging system, headlamp bulbs, wire
connectors, relay, high beam dimmer switch and head-
lamp switch. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams, for
component locations and circuit information.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

(13) Remove the power steering fluid return hose
(Fig. 15) from the power steering pump.
(14) Remove the support bracket at the rear of the
power steering pump attaching the pump to the rear
of the engine (Fig. 16).
(15) Remove the 2 bolts mounting the power steer-
ing pump to the alternator/power steering pump and
belt tensioner mounting bracket (Fig. 16).
(16) Remove the power steering pump from its
mounting bracket.
(17) The power steering pump is removed from the
vehicle by pulling it out through the exhaust tunnel
area in the floor pan of the vehicle.
INSTALL
(1) Install power steering pump back in vehicle
using the reverse order of its removal through the
exhaust tunnel are of the vehicle.
(2) Install the power steering pump on its mount-
ing bracket. Install the 2 power steering pumpmounting bolts (Fig. 16). Tighten the power steering
pump mounting bolts to a torque of 54 N´m (40 ft.
lbs.).
(3) Install the support bracket attaching rear of
power steering pump to engine (Fig. 16). Tighten the
nut and bolts to a torque of 54 N´m (40 ft. lbs).
NOTE: Before connecting the power steering pres-
sure line to the power steering pump, inspect the
O-ring on the pressure line for damage and replace
if damaged.
(4) Install the power steering fluid pressure line
onto the output fitting of the power steering pump
(Fig. 15). Tighten the pressure line to pump fitting
tube nut to a torque of 31 N´m (275 in. lbs.).
(5) Install the power steering fluid low pressure
return hose on the power steering pump low pressure
fitting (Fig. 15).Be sure hose clamps are prop-
erly reinstalled and return hose is clear of all
accessory drive belts.
(6) Install the power steering fluid supply hose
from the power steering fluid reservoir, on the power
steering pump fluid fitting (Fig. 15).Be sure all
hose clamps are properly reinstalled.
(7) Install the serpentine drive belt (Fig. 11). See
Cooling, Group 7 for detailed installation procedure.
(8) Install the power steering fluid return hose on
the steel tube at the front suspension cradle (Fig.
13).
(9) Install a screw type hose clamp on the power
steering hose to steel tube connection. Tighten the
screw clamp to a torque of 2 N´m (18 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: The protective heat shield sleeves must
cover the entire rubber hose and hose to tube con-
nection portion of both the power steering fluid
pressure and return hoses (Fig. 13). This is required
to prevent overheating of the power steering hoses.
(10) When used, properly position the protective
heat sleeves on the power steering hoses. Then, tie
strap the heat sleeves to the power steering hoses to
keep them in their proper position.
(11) Install the exhaust pipe on the exhaust man-
ifold. Install all exhaust system hangers/isolators on
the exhaust system brackets.
(12) Connect the oxygen sensor wiring harness to
the vehicle wiring harness. Install wiring harness
grommet in the floor pan of the vehicle.
(13) Install the accessory drive splash shield (Fig.
14).
(14) Lower vehicle.
CAUTION: Do not use automatic transmission fluid
in power steering system. Only use MoparT, Power
Steering Fluid, or equivalent.
