connector and vacuum hose from servo. Using finger pressure only, push
servo cable connector from throttle body bellcrank pin. DO NOT pull
cable connector perpendicular to bellcrank.
2) Remove 2 servo cable mounting nuts. Pull servo cable
sleeve away from mounting bracket to expose cable retaining clip.
Remove retaining clip. Remove servo.
Removal (Ram Van & Ram Wagon)
1) Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove engine cover.
Remove air cleaner assembly. Using finger pressure only, push servo
cable connector from throttle body bellcrank pin. DO NOT pull cable
connector perpendicular to bellcrank.
2) Remove right headlight assembly. Disconnect vacuum hose
and electrical connector at servo. Remove 2 servo mounting bracket
bolts. Remove 2 servo cable mounting nuts. Pull servo cable sleeve
away from mounting bracket to expose cable retaining clip. Remove
retaining clip. Remove servo.
Installation (All Models)
With throttle in full open position, align hole in speed
control cable sleeve with hole in servo pin. Install retaining clip.
To complete installation, reverse removal procedure. Tighten mounting
bolts/nuts to 75 INCH lbs. (8.5 N.m).
SPEED CONTROL SWITCHES
Removal & Installation
Turn ignition off. Disconnect negative battery cable. Wait 2
minutes for air bag system to discharge reserve voltage. Remove 2
screws holding air bag assembly to steering column. Separate air bag
assembly from steering column and disconnect air bag, horn and speed

BATTERY SPECIFICATIONS
Vehicle is factory equipped with a maintenance free battery.
The top of the battery is permanently sealed, and water never has to
be added, and periodic maintenance is not required either. But,
periodically check the battery terminals and battery hold-down bracket
for corrosion. Replace with a battery of the same group number as
shown on original battery's label.
CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicles equipped with
computers may lose memory data. When battery power is
restored, driveability problems may exist on some vehicles.
These vehicles may require a relearn procedure. See COMPUTER
RELEARN PROCEDURES article in the GENERAL INFORMATION
section.
CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (AIR BAG)
NOTE: See the AIR BAGS article in the ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Section.
Modifications or improper maintenance, including incorrect
removal and installation of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS),
can adversely affect system performance. DO NOT cover, obstruct or
change the steering wheel horn pad in any way, as such action could
cause improper function of the system. Use only plain water when
cleaning the horn pad. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect the
air bag cover and cause improper deployment of the system.
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental air bag deployment, read and
carefully follow all warnings and service precautions. See
appropriate AIR BAGS article in ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
WARNING: Any maintenance performed on or near the components of the
SRS must be performed only by an authorized dealer.
Do not permit anyone else to service, inspect maintain, or
service any SRS components or wiring. Similarly, no part of
the SRS should ever be handled or disposed of by anyone
except an authorized dealer.
Improper work on the SRS components or wiring could result in
inadvertent deployment of the airbags or could render the SRS
system inoperative. Either situation could result in serious
injury
WARNING: If the car has had any front-end damage, have the SRS system
inspected by an authorized dealer to ensure it is working
properly.
WARNING: If any of the following conditions occur, the SRS is not
working properly. Immediately have it inspected by an
authorized dealer:
* The SRS warning light does not illuminate when you start
the car.
* The SRS warning light does not go off after about 7 seconds.
* The SRS warning light illuminates while driving.
