1999 DODGE RAM hood open

bracket. Ensure alignment tab on brake switch aligns with opening on
mounting bracket.
CAUTION: When adjusting brake switch, DO NOT pull brake pedal back
toward brake switch with excessive pressure, or brake switch
may be damaged.
3) When brake switch is fully installed in mounting bracket,
rotate brake switch clockwise approximately 30 degrees. To ensure
proper brake switch adjustment, gently pull brake pedal back toward
brake switch as far as possible. DO NOT apply excessive pressure on
brake pedal and brake switch.
Removal (Ram Van & Ram Wagon)
1) Brake switch is located near top of brake pedal. Remove
lower steering column cover. Remove data link connector, hood release
lever and parking brake lever from lower instrument panel cover.
2) Remove lower instrument panel cover for access to brake
switch. Depress and hold brake pedal downward. Rotate brake switch
counterclockwise approximately 1/16 turn to so locking collar on brake
switch aligns with opening on mounting bracket. Pull brake switch
rearward from mounting bracket. Disconnect electrical connector from
brake switch.
NOTE: Before installing brake switch, plunger on brake switch must
be pulled outward to fully extended position and then pushed
inward 4 detent positions to ensure proper brake switch
adjustment.
Installation
1) Pull plunger on brake switch outward to the fully extended
position. Push plunger on brake switch inward 4 detent positions. The
brake switch will click at each detent position when pushing plunger
inward.
2) Install electrical connector on brake switch. Depress
brake pedal as far as possible. Install brake switch in mounting
bracket. Ensure locking collar on brake switch aligns with opening on
mounting bracket.
CAUTION: When adjusting brake switch, DO NOT pull brake pedal back
toward brake switch with excessive pressure, or brake switch
may be damaged.
3) When brake switch is fully installed in mounting bracket,
rotate brake switch clockwise approximately 1/16 turn. To ensure
proper brake switch adjustment, gently pull brake pedal back toward
brake switch as far as possible. DO NOT apply excessive pressure on
brake pedal and brake switch.

EXAMPLE #2 - VOLTAGE CONTROLLED DRIVER
This time we will look at a GM 3.1L V6 VIN [T]. Fig. 8 shows
the 1, 3, 5 (odd) injector bank with the current waveform indicating
about a 2.6 amp draw at idle. This pattern, taken from a known good
vehicle, correctly stays at or below the maximum 2.6 amps current
range. Ideally, the current for each bank should be very close in
comparison.
Notice the small dimple on the current flow's rising edge.
This is the actual injector opening or what engineers refer to as the
"set point." For good idle quality, the set point should be uniform
between the banks.
When discussing Ohm's Law as it pertains to this parallel
circuit, consider that each injector has specified resistance of 12.2
ohms. Since all three injectors are in parallel the total resistance
of this parallel circuit drops to 4.1 ohms. Fourteen volts divided by
four ohms would pull a maximum of 3.4 amps on this bank of injectors.
However, as we discussed in EXAMPLE #1 above, other factors knock this
value down to roughly the 2.6 amp neighborhood.
Now we are going to take a look at the even bank of
injectors; injectors 2, 4, and 6. See Fig. 9. Notice this bank peaked
at 1.7 amps at idle as compared to the 2.6 amps peak of the odd bank (
Fig. 8 ). Current flow between even and odd injectors banks is not
uniform, yet it is not causing a driveability problem. That is because
it is still under the maximum amperage we figured out earlier. But be
aware this vehicle could develop a problem if the amperage flow
increases any more.
Checking the resistance of this even injector group with a
DVOM yielded 6.2 ohms, while the odd injector group in the previous
example read 4.1 ohms.

steering column opening. Disconnect harness connectors. To install,
reverse removal procedure.
INTERMITTENT WIPER RELAY
Removal & Installation
Intermittent wiper relay is located in Power Distribution
Center (PDC) in engine compartment. Remove cover and remove relay. To
install, reverse removal procedures
WIPER ARMS
Removal & Installation
Open hood. Lift wiper and slide latch to hold wiper off of
windshield. With a rocking motion, remove wiper arm. To install,
ensure wiper motor is in park position. Slide wiper arm on shaft.
Align wiper arms. See WIPER BLADES under ADJUSTMENTS.
WIPER MOTOR
NOTE: Wiper linkage and motor module is replaced as a unit.
Removal & Installation
1) Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove wiper arms. See
WIPER ARMS. Remove weatherstrip along front edge of cowl. Release
plastic anchor screws. Lift cowl grille from vehicle. Remove washer
hose from "Y" fitting. Set grille aside.
2) Remove wiper linkage mounting bolts. Turn linkage over and
disconnect harness connector from wiper motor. Remove wiper linkage
and motor module. To install, reverse removal procedure. Align wiper
arms. See WIPER BLADES under ADJUSTMENTS.
WIPER/WASHER SWITCH
NOTE: Wiper/washer switch is part of multifunction steering column
switch. If wiper/washer switch fails, entire multifunction
switch must be replaced.
Removal & Installation
1) Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove tilt lever (if
equipped). Remove steering column upper and lower covers to access
switch connector. Remove switch connector. Remove multifunction switch
tamperproof screws.
2) Gently pull switch away from column and loosen connector
screw (screw remains in connector). Remove switch. To install, reverse\
removal procedure. Tighten screws and nuts to specification. See
TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. Ensure switch is functioning properly.
