1998 DODGE RAM 1500 Power window

cator is electronically disabled. The upshift indicator
consists of an upward pointed arrow icon, which
appears on the right side of the electronic gear selec-
tor indicator Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD)
unit. The VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic
circuit board and is visible through a window with a
smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the
speedometer gauge dial face of the cluster overlay.
The dark lens over the VFD prevents the indicator
from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
The icon appears in a blue-green color and at the
same lighting level as the odometer/trip odometer
information when it is illuminated by the instrument
cluster electronic circuit board. The upshift indicator
is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
OPERATION
The upshift indicator gives an indication to the
vehicle operator when the manual transmission
should be shifted to the next highest gear in order to
achieve the best fuel economy. This indicator is con-
trolled by the instrument cluster circuit board based
upon cluster programming and electronic messages
received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) on vehicles with a gasoline engine, or
from the Engine Control Module (ECM) on vehicles
with a diesel engine over the Programmable Commu-
nications Interface (PCI) data bus. The upshift indi-
cator is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow
this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition
switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the indi-
cator will always be off when the ignition switch is in
any position except On or Start. The indicator only
illuminates when it is switched to ground by the
instrument cluster circuitry. The instrument cluster
will turn on the upshift indicator for the following
reasons:
²Upshift Lamp-On Message- Each time the
cluster receives an upshift lamp-on message from the
PCM or ECM indicating the engine speed and load
conditions are right for a transmission upshift to
occur, the upshift indicator is illuminated. The indi-
cator remains illuminated until the cluster receives
an upshift lamp-off message from the PCM or ECM,
or until the ignition switch is turned to the Off posi-
tion, whichever occurs first. The PCM or ECM will
normally send an upshift lamp-off message three to
five seconds after a lamp-on message, if an upshift is
not performed. The indicator will then remain off
until the vehicle stops accelerating and is brought
back into the range of indicator operation, or until
the transmission is shifted into another gear.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the upshift indicator willbe turned on, then off again during the VFD portion
of the test to confirm the functionality of the VFD
and the cluster control circuitry.
On vehicles with a gasoline engine, the PCM con-
tinually monitors the engine speed and load condi-
tions to determine the proper fuel and ignition
requirements. On vehicles with a diesel engine, the
ECM continually monitors the engine speed and load
conditions to determine the proper fuel requirements.
The PCM or ECM then sends the proper upshift indi-
cator lamp-on and lamp-off messages to the instru-
ment cluster. For further diagnosis of the upshift
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that con-
trols the indicator, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IN-
STRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). For proper diagnosis of the PCM, the
ECM, the PCI data bus, or the electronic message
inputs to the instrument cluster that control the
upshift indicator, a DRBIIItscan tool is required.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
VOLTAGE GAUGE
DESCRIPTION
A voltage gauge is standard equipment on all
instrument clusters. The voltage gauge is located in
the upper left quadrant of the instrument cluster,
above the fuel gauge. The voltage gauge consists of a
movable gauge needle or pointer controlled by the
instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90 degree
scale on the cluster overlay that reads left-to-right
from ªLº (or Low) to ªHº (or High) for gasoline
engines. On vehicles with a diesel engine, the scale
reads from ª8º to ª18º volts. An International Control
and Display Symbol icon for ªBattery Charging Con-
ditionº is located on the cluster overlay, directly
below the right end of the gauge scale (Fig. 34). The
voltage gauge graphics are black against a white
field except for a single red graduation at each end of
the gauge scale, making them clearly visible within
the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated
from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled
cluster illumination lighting with the exterior lamps
turned On, the black graphics appear blue and the
red graphics still appear red. The orange gauge nee-
dle is internally illuminated. Gauge illumination is
provided by replaceable incandescent bulb and bulb
holder units located on the instrument cluster elec-
tronic circuit board. The voltage gauge is serviced as
a unit with the instrument cluster.

DESCRIPTION
POWER LOCKS
The power lock system allows all of the doors to be
locked or unlocked electrically by operating a switch
on either front door trim panel. The power lock sys-
tem receives non-switched battery current through a
fuse in the Integrated Power Module (IPM), so that
the power locks remain operational, regardless of the
ignition switch position.The instrument cluster locks the doors automati-
cally when the vehicle is driven beyond the speed of
25.7 Km/h (15 mph), all doors are closed and the
accelerator pedal is depressed. The rolling door lock
feature can be disabled if desired.
This vehicle also offers several customer program-
mable features, which allows the selection of several
optional electronic features to suit individual prefer-
ences.
The power lock system for this vehicle can also be
operated remotely using the available Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) system radio frequency transmit-
ters, if equipped.

DRIVER DOOR MODULE
DESCRIPTION
A Driver Door Module (DDM) is used on all models
equipped with power locks, power windows, and
power mirrors. The DDM houses the following
switches:
²Power Lock Switch- The DDM includes a
two-way, momentary, resistor multiplexed switch to
control the power lock system.
²Power Mirror Selector Switch- A three-posi-
tion rocker switch in the DDM selects the right or
left power mirror for adjustment, or turns the power
mirror system Off.
²Power Mirror Adjustment Switches- Four
momentary, arrowhead shaped, directional switches
allow the driver to adjust the selected power mirror
in the Up, Down, Right, or Left directions.
²Power Window Lockout Switch- A two-way,
latching, push-button switch in the DDM allows the
vehicle operator to lock out the power window
switches on each passenger door so that the passen-
ger door power windows may be operated only from
the master switches in the DDM.
²Power Window Switches- The DDM houses a
two-way, momentary power window switch for the
driver side front door. This switch also has a second
detent in the Down direction and internal circuitry to
provide an Auto-Down feature for the driver side
front door power window. In addition to the power
window switch for its own door, the DDM houses
individual master switches for each passenger door
power window.
The DDM also incorporates several green Light-
Emitting Diodes (LEDs) that illuminate the power
lock and power window switch paddles, and the
power mirror switch directional buttons to improve
switch visibility in dark ambient lighting conditions.
The DDM cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, the entire DDM unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The Driver Door Module (DDM) combines a power
lock switch, a driver power window switch with an
Auto-down feature, master switches for each passen-
ger door power window, a power window lockout
switch, a power mirror selector switch, and four
power mirror adjustment switches in a single unit.
The switches in the DDM can be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and methods.
Power Lock Switch
The DDM power lock switch circuitry is connected
in series between ground and the driver door switch
mux input of the instrument cluster. Each power lockswitch position (Lock, Unlock, and Neutral) provides
a different resistance value to the instrument cluster
input, which allows the instrument cluster to sense
the switch position. Based upon the power lock
switch input, the instrument cluster controls the bat-
tery and ground feed outputs to the individual power
lock motors to lock or unlock the door latches. The
Light-Emitting Diode (LED) in the DDM power lock
switch is connected to battery current through the
power window circuit breaker in the Integrated
Power Module (IPM) on a fused ignition switch out-
put (run-acc) circuit so that the switch will be illumi-
nated whenever the ignition switch is in the On or
Accessory positions.
Power Window Switches
The DDM power window switch circuitry is con-
nected to battery current through a circuit breaker in
the Integrated Power Module (IPM) on a fused igni-
tion switch output (run-acc) circuit so that the power
windows will operate whenever the ignition switch is
in the On or Accessory positions. Each two-way,
momentary master passenger power window switch
in the DDM provides battery current and ground to
the individual power window switches on each pas-
senger door so that the power window switch controls
the battery current and ground feeds to its respective
power window motor. The DDM switch for the driver
side front door power window is labeled ªAutoº and
includes an auto-down feature. When this switch is
depressed to a second momentary detent position and
released, the driver door power window is automati-
cally operated through an internal circuit and relay
to its fully lowered position. The Auto-down event is
cancelled if the switch paddle is depressed a second
time in either the Up or Down direction. When the
two position window lockout switch in the DDM is
depressed and latched in the lockout position, the
battery current feed to each of the individual passen-
ger power window switches is interrupted so that the
passenger door power windows can only be operated
from the master switches in the DDM. The window
lockout switch also controls the battery current feed
for the LED in each passenger power window switch
so that the switch will not be illuminated when it is
locked out.
Power Mirror Switches
The DDM power mirror switch circuitry is con-
nected to battery current through a fuse in the IPM
on a fused B(+) circuit so that the power mirrors
remain operational regardless of the ignition switch
position. A rocker type selector switch has three posi-
tions, one to select the right mirror, one to select the
left mirror, and a neutral Off position. After the right
or left mirror is selected, one of four directional but-
DRPOWER LOCKS 8N - 5

tons is depressed to move the selected mirror Up,
Down, Right or Left. The DDM power mirror switch
circuitry controls the battery current and ground
feeds to each of the four (two in each mirror head)
power mirror motors. The Light-Emitting Diode
(LED) in the DDM power mirror switch is connected
to battery current through the power window circuit
breaker in the IPM on a fused ignition switch output
(run-acc) circuit so that the switch directional but-
tons will be illuminated whenever the ignition switch
is in the On or Accessory positions.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - DRIVER DOOR
MODULE
The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) illumination
lamps for all of the Driver Door Module (DDM)
power window, power lock, and power mirror
switches receive battery current through the power
window circuit breaker in the Integrated Power Mod-
ule (IPM). If all of the LEDs are inoperative in the
DDM, be certain to diagnose the power window sys-
tem before replacing the switch unit. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER WINDOWS - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING). If only one LED in the DDM is
inoperative, replace the faulty DDM. If the driver
side front door power window operates in a normal
manner, but the Auto-Down feature is inoperative,
replace the faulty DDM. Refer to the appropriate wir-
ing information.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Remove the DDM from the door trim panel.
Disconnect the door wire harness connectors for the
DDM from the DDM connector receptacles.
(2) Test the DDM switch continuity. See the Driver
Door Module Switch Tests chart to determine if the
continuity is correct for the suspect switches in each
switch position (Fig. 2) and/or (Fig. 3). If not OK,
replace the faulty DDM as required.

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
When an RKE lock message is sent to the instru-
ment cluster, the instrument cluster actuates the
door locks, the interior lighting is turned off, the
horn chirps (if this feature is enabled), the park
lamps flash (if this feature is enabled) and, if the
vehicle is so equipped, the Vehicle Theft Security
System (VTSS) is armed. When an RKE unlock mes-
sage is sent to the instrument cluster, the instrument
cluster actuates the driver side front door (or all
doors if this feature is enabled) unlock, the interior
lighting is turned on and, if the vehicle is so
equipped, the VTSS is disarmed.
When an RKE panic message is sent to the instru-
ment cluster, the instrument cluster actuates the
driver side front door (or all doors if this feature is
enabled) unlock, the interior lighting is turned on
and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the VTSS is dis-
armed. The panic message will also cause the exte-
rior lamps (including the headlights) to flash, andthe horn to sound for about three minutes, or until a
second panic message is sent to the instrument clus-
ter. A vehicle speed of about 25.7 kilometers-per-hour
(15 miles-per-hour) will also cancel the panic event.
Refer to the owner's manual for more information
on the features, use and operation of the RKE sys-
tem.
OPERATION
Whenever the vehicle battery power is interrupted,
the Remote Keyless Module (RKE) Module will retain
all vehicle access codes in its memory. When replac-
ing or adding a key fob transmitter (maximum of 4) a
DRB IIItscan tool is required to program the RKE
Module to accept the new Vehicle Access Code if a
customer owned transmitter is not available.
If a functioning transmitter is available, (Refer to 8

AUTOMATIC DAY / NIGHT
MIRROR
DESCRIPTION
The automatic day/night mirror uses a thin layer
of electrochromic material between two pieces of con-
ductive glass to make up the face of the mirror.
When the mirror switch is in the On position, two
photocell sensors are used by the mirror circuitry to
monitor external light levels and adjust the reflec-
tance of the mirror.
OPERATION
The ambient photocell sensor is located on the for-
ward-facing (windshield side) of the rear view mirror
housing, and detects the ambient light levels outside
of the vehicle. The headlamp photocell sensor is
located inside the rear view mirror housing behind
the mirror glass and faces rearward, to detect the
level of the light being received at the rear window
side of the mirror. When the circuitry of the auto-
matic day/night mirror detects that the difference
between the two light levels is too great (the light
level received at the rear of the mirror is much
higher than that at the front of the mirror), it begins
to darken the mirror.
The automatic day/night mirror circuitry also mon-
itors the transmission using an input from the
backup lamp circuit. The mirror circuitry is pro-
grammed to automatically disable its self-dimming
feature whenever it senses that the transmission
backup lamp circuit is energized.
The automatic day/night mirror is a completely
self-contained unit and cannot be repaired. If faulty
or damaged, the entire mirror assembly must be
replaced.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AUTOMATIC DAY /
NIGHT MIRROR
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appro-
priate wiring information.
(1) Check the fuse in the Integrated Power Module
(IPM). If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the
shorted circuit or component as required and replace
the faulty fuse.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fuse in the IPM. If
OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the open circuit to
the ignition switch as required.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Unplug the wire harness connector from the auto-
matic day/night mirror (Fig. 2). Connect the battery
negative cable. Turn the ignition switch to the On
position. Check for battery voltage at the fused igni-
tion switch output (run/start) circuit cavity of the
automatic day/night mirror wire harness connector. If
OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open circuit to
the IPM as required.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit cav-
ity of the automatic day/night mirror wire harness
connector and a good ground. There should be conti-
nuity. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the cir-
cuit to ground as required.

POWER WINDOWS
DESCRIPTION
The power window system allows each of the door
windows to be raised and lowered electrically by
actuating a switch on each door panel. A master
switch on the drivers door allows the driver to raise
or lower each of the passenger door windows and to
lock out the individual switches on the passenger
doors from operation. The power window system
receives battery feed through a fuse in the Integrated
Power Module (IPM) and a circuit breaker located in
the instrument panel wiring harness near the park
brake pedal, only when the ignition switch is in the
RUN or ACCESSORY position.
OPERATION
WINDOW SWITCH
The power window switches control the battery
and ground feeds to the power window motors. The
passenger door power window switches receive their
battery and ground feeds through the circuitry of the
drivers window switch. When the power window lock-
out switch is in the Lock position, the battery feed
for the passenger door window switches is inter-
rupted.
WINDOW MOTOR
Window motors use permanent type magnets. The
B+ and ground applied at the motor terminal pins
will cause the motor to rotate in one direction.
Reversing current through the motor terminals will
cause the motor to rotate in the opposite direction.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER
WINDOWS
WIRING VOLTAGE TEST
The following wiring test determines whether or
not voltage is continuous through the body harness
to the front switch.
(1) Remove the Driver Door Module (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS/DOOR MODULE -
REMOVAL).
(2) Disconnect wire connector from back of power
window switch.
(3) Switch ignition to the ON position.
(4) Connect the clip end of a 12 volt test light to
Pin 14 of the window switch harness connector.
Touch the test light probe to Pin 10.
²If the test light illuminates, the wiring circuit
between the battery and switch is OK.
²If the lamp does not illuminate, first check the
fuse in the Integrated Power Module (IPM). Check
the circuit breaker located near the park brake
pedal. If fuse and circuit breaker are OK, then check
for a broken wire.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
POWER WINDOW MOTOR TEST
If the power window motor is receiving proper cur-
rent and ground and does not operate, proceed with
motor test.
(1) Remove front door trim panel as necessary to
gain access to power window motor wire connector
(Refer to 23 - BODY/DOOR - FRONT/TRIM PANEL -
REMOVAL).
(2) Disconnect power window motor wire connector
from door harness.
(3) Using two jumper wires, connect one to a bat-
tery (+) source and the other to a good ground (-).
(4) Connect the Negative (-) jumper probe to one of
the motor connector terminals.
DRPOWER WINDOWS 8N - 19

(5) Momentarily touch the Positive (+) jumper
probe to the other motor connector terminal.
When positive probe is connected the motor should
rotate in one direction to either move window up or
down. If window is all the way up or down the motor
will grunt and the inner door panel will flex when
actuated in that one direction.
(6) Reverse jumper probes at the motor connector
terminals and window should now move in opposite
direction. If window does not move or grunt, replace
the motor.
If window moved completely up or down, reverse
the jumper probes and cycle window to the opposite
position to verify full operation.
If motor grunts and does not move, verify that reg-
ulator is not binding.

WINDOW SWITCH
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WINDOW SWITCH
The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) illumination
lamps for all of the power window and lock switch
and bezel unit switch paddles receive battery current
through the power window circuit breaker in the
junction block. If all of the LEDs are inoperative in
both the power window and lock switch units and the
power windows are inoperative, (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/POWER WINDOWS - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). If the power windows operate, but any or
all of the LEDs are inoperative, the power window
and lock switch units with the inoperative LED(s) is
faulty and must be replaced. For complete circuit dia-
grams, refer to the appropriate wiring information.
(1) Check the fuse in the Integrated Power Module
(IPM) and the circuit breaker located near the park
brake pedal. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, replace
the faulty fuse or circuit breaker.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fuse in the Inte-
grated Power Module (IPM). If OK, turn the ignition
switch to the Off position and go to Step 3. If not OK,
check circuit breaker and repair the circuit to the
ignition switch as required.
(3) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Remove the power window switch unit fromthe door trim panel (passenger doors). The drivers
door switch is included with the Driver Door Module
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS/DOOR
MODULE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING) for service
procedures. Unplug the wire harness connector from
the switch unit.
(4) Test the power window switch continuity. See
the Power Window Switch Continuity charts to deter-
mine if the continuity is correct in the Off, Up and
Down switch positions (Fig. 1). If OK, (Refer to 8 -
