Adjustment
Bstore adiusting the headlights:
. Park the vehicle on level ground
. Make sure the fuel tank is tull
. The driver or someone who weighs the same should
sit in the driver's seat.
. Load the trunk with the items you usually carry'
. Push down on the front and rear bumpers several
times to make sure the vehicle is sitting normally'
CAUTION: Halogen headlights become very hot in use;
do not touch them or the atiaching hardware immedi-
ately after they have been turned off.
1. ODen the hood.
2. Remove the left inner fender {see section 20).
3. Checkthe horizontal adjustment indicator.
The "0" mark on the horizontal indicator gear should
be aligned with the mark.
"0" MARK
Check the vertical adjustment indicator. The bubble
should be centered underneath the longest scribe
mark on the gauge.

)
5.lf either indicator is not aligned with its "0" mark as
described left column, an adjustment can be made
by using a Phillips screwdriver.
Adjust the headlights to local requirements by turn-
ing the adjusters.
NOTE:
. As the outer lenses are made of an acrylicoated,
polycarbonated material, do not cover the head-
lights when they are turned on
. When making horizontal adiustments, slide the
horizontal indicator gear rearward.
After horizontal adjustment, put back the hori-
zontal indicator gear.

Rear Accessory Socket:
'1. Remove the left rear side trim panel {see section
20t.
2.Disconnect the connectors.
lnspect the connector terminals to be sure they are
all making good contact.
lf the terminals are bent, loose or corroded,
repair them as necessary, and recheck the sys
tem.
. lf theterminals look OK, goto step 4.

4. Turn the ignition switch to ACC (l), and check tor volt
age between the A and B terminals.
o There should be battery voltage.
. lf there is no battery voltage, check for:- blown No. 6 ('10 A) and No. 27 (10 A) fuses in
the under dash fuse/relay box.- faulty rear accessory socket relay (test, page
23-53).- poor ground (G401, G402, G553).- an open in the wire.J

Rear Window Defogger
Function Test
1. Check for voltage between the positive terminal andbody ground with the ignition switch and defoggerswitch ON.
There should be battery voltage.
. lf there is no voltage. check for:- faulty defogger relay.- faulty defogger switch.- an open ,n the BLK/BLU, WHT/GRN, BLU/YEL,
or BLK wire.
. lf there is battery voltage, go to step 2.
POSITIVE TERMINAL
Check for continuity between the negative terminaland body ground.
lf there is no continuity, check for an open in thedefogger ground wire.
Touch the voltmeter positive probe to the halfwaypoint of each defogger wire, and the negative probe
to the negative terminal. Be careful not to scratch ordamage the defogger wires with the tester probe.There should be approximately 6 V with the ignitionswitch and the defogger switch ON.
. lf the voltage is as specified, the defogger wire isoK.
. lf the voltage is not as specified, repair the defog-ger wire.- lf it is more than 6 V, there is a break in thenegative half of the wire.- lf it is less than 6 V, there is a break in thepositive half of the wire.

Defogger Wire Repair
NOTE: To make an effective repair, the broken sectionmust be no longer than one inch.
1. Lightly rub the area around the broken section withfine steel wool, then clean it with alcohol.
2. Carefully mask above and below the broken portionof the defogger wire with cellophane tape.
CELLOPHANETAPE
Mix the conductive paint thoroughly. Using a smallbrush, apply a heavy coat of the conductive paint
extending about 1/8" on both sides of the break.Allow 30 minutes to dry.
Check for continuity in the repaired wire.
Apply a second coat of paint in the same way. Let itdry three hours before removing the tape.
