COMPONENT TESTS
CIRCUIT BREAKER
Dakota, Durango, Ram Pickup, Ram Van & Ram Wagon
1) Locate circuit breaker for power window system. See
TROUBLE SHOOTING. Pull circuit breaker out slightly, but ensure
circuit breaker terminals still contact terminals in fuse block.
2) Connect voltmeter negative lead to ground. Using voltmeter
positive lead, check both terminals of circuit breaker for battery
voltage. If voltmeter indicates battery voltage at both terminals,
circuit breaker is okay.
3) If voltmeter indicates battery voltage at one terminal
only, replace faulty circuit breaker. If voltmeter indicates no
voltage at either terminal, check for an open or shorted circuit to
circuit breaker. Repair as necessary and recheck system operation.
VENT WINDOW MOTOR
Caravan, Town & Country, & Voyager
1) Remove "D" pillar trim panel. See "D" PILLAR TRIM PANEL
under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Disconnect vent window motor connector.
Using jumper wires, apply battery voltage to vent window motor
terminals. Motor should rotate in one direction, moving window open or
closed. If window is in full closed or open position, no movement will
be observed and motor will make a grunting noise.
2) Reverse battery leads. Window should move in opposite
direction. If window does not move or window does not make a grunting
noise, replace vent window motor. If window moved completely open and
closed, motor should be reversed one more time to complete a full
window movement inspection.
3) If motor grunts and window does not move, remove motor
assembly. Check window motor crank for binding. Repair as necessary.
Recheck window operation. If window moves, check power window switch
continuity. See POWER WINDOW SWITCH. Replace switch as necessary. If
window switch is okay, check for open circuit between window motor and
window switch. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. Repair as necessary.
bolster. Remove CTM from bracket on inboard side of instrument panel
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.
WASHER RESERVOIR
Removal & Installation
Disconnect negative battery cable. Drain cooling system.
Disconnect upper radiator hose from radiator. Disconnect harness
connectors from washer pump and washer fluid level sensor. Remove
washer supply hose from washer pump and drain washer fluid. While
