This transmitter allows you to consolidate the functions
of up to three individual hand-held transmitters. It
will operate garage doors and gates, or with the
accessory package, other devices controlled by radio
frequency such as home/office lighting systems and
security systems.
The transmitter will learn and transmit the frequencies
of most current transmitters and is powered by your
vehicle’s battery and charging system.

Air Bag Readiness Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows
the air bag symbol. The system
checks the air bag’s electrical system for malfunctions.
The light tells you
if there is an electrical problem. The
system check includes
the air bag sensors, the air bag
module, the wiring and the diagnostic module. For more
information
on the air bag system, see “Air Bag” in
the Index.
This light will come on
when you start your engine,
and
it will flash for a few
seconds. Then the light
should go out. This means
the system is ready.
If the air bag readiness light stays on after you start the
engine or comes on when you are driving, your air bag
system may
not work properly. Have your vehicle
serviced right away.
The air bag readiness light should flash for a few
seconds when
you turn the ignition key to RUN. If the
light doesn’t come
on then, have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn
you if there is a problem.
Charging System Indicator Light
The charging system light
will come on briefly when
you turn on the ignition, but
’ the engine is not running,
as a check to show you it
is working.
It should go out once the engine
is running. If it stays
on, or comes on while you are driving, you may have a
problem with the charging system.
It could indicate that
you have problems with
a generator drive belt, or
another electrical problem. Have
it checked right away.
Driving while this light
is on could drain your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be
certain to turn off all your accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner.

Voltmeter Gage
I
When your engine is not
running, but the ignition is
on
(in RUN), this gage
shows your battery’s state of
charge in
DC volts.
When the engine is running,
the gage shows the
condition of
the charging system. Readings between the
low and high warning zones indicate the normal
operating range. Readings
in the low warning zone may occur when a
large number of electrical accessories are operating in
the vehicle and the engine is left at an idle for an
extended period. This condition
is normal since the
charging system
is not able to provide full power at
engine idle.
As engine speeds are increased, this
condition should correct itself as higher engine speeds
allow the charging system to create maximum power.
You can only drive for a short time with the reading in
either warning zone. If you must drive, turn off all
unnecessary accessories.
Readings
in either warning zone indicate a possible
problem
in the electrical system. Have the vehicle
serviced as soon
as possible.

Trailer Wiring Harness
The heavy-duty trailer wiring is an eight-wire harness
assembly. The harness is stored under the vehicle, on the
driver’s side corner frame rear crossmember. The
heavy-duty trailer wiring has a 30-amp feed wire
with
an in-line fuse located by the junct.ion block. See “Fuses
and Circuit Breakers”
in the Index. The harness does not
have a cannector and should be wired by
a qualified
electrical technician. The technician can use the
following color code chart when connecting the wiring
harness
to your trailer.

Dark Blue: Use for electric trailer brakes or
auxiliary wiring.
Red: Use for battery charging;
it connects to the
starter solenoid.
Light Green: Back-up lamps.
Brown: Taillamps and parking lamps.
Yellow: Left stoplamp and turn signal.
Dark Green: Right stoplamp
and turn signal.
White (Heavy Gage): Ground wire.
White (Light Gage): Auxiliary stoplamp.
Securely attach the harness to the trailer, then tape or
strap
it to your vehicle’s frame rail. Be sure you leave it
loose enough so the wiring doesn’t bend or break, but
not
so loose that it drags on the ground. Store the
harness
in its original place. Wrap the harness together
and tie
it neatly so it won’t be damaged.
