GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
These vehicles may be equipped with Power Fold
Away Mirrors. The vehicle has an additional switch
in the switch pod that controls the folding function of
the mirror assembly (Fig. 1).
All vehicles are equipped with a Ignition-Off Draw
Fuse, and they are disconnected when the vehicles
are originally shipped from the factory. Disconnecting
this fuse will help prevent the battery from discharge
during storage. The fuse is located in Power Distri-
bution Center (PDC) refer to the cover for proper
location.
This fuse is included in the power mirror circuity
and should be checked if the mirrors are inoperative.
The vehicle mirror circuitry is powered from the
accessory feed circuit and protected by a 15 amp cir-
cuit breaker and power mirror relay. The relay pro-
vides for the switching of the mirror. The circuit
breaker and mirror relay are located in the inner
door panel wire harness.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
POWER FOLD AWAY MIRROR SWITCH TEST
(1) Remove power mirror switch from the door
trim panel. Refer to the switch removal and installa-
tion procedure in this group.
(2) Using an ohmmeter, test for continuity between
the terminals of the switch as shown in the Power
Fold Away Mirror Switch Test (Fig. 2).
(3) If test results are not obtained as shown in
(Fig. 2), replace the switch.
Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams for a com-
plete schematic of the power mirror circuitry.
POWER FOLD AWAY MIRROR MOTOR
The power fold away mirror motor is incorporated
into the mirror assembly. If the motor proves to be
inoperative the entire mirror assembly must be
replaced. Refer to the mirror removal and installa-
tion procedure in this group for detailed instructions.
(1) Remove the power mirror switch from the door
trim panel. Refer to the removal and installation pro-
cedure in this group.
(2) Disconnect the mirror switch electrical connec-
tor.
(3) Using two jumper wires, one connected to a 12
volt source, and the other connected to a good body
ground. Refer to the Mirror Switch Circuits (Fig. 3)
and check for the appropriate mirror responses.
(4) If test results are not obtained as shown in
(Fig. 3), check for a open or shorted circuit, or replace
mirror / motor assembly as necessary.
Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams for a com-
plete wiring schematic of the power mirror circuitry.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN AIR-
BAG, REFER TO THE AIRBAG PORTION OF THIS
SECTION FOR STEERING WHEEL OR SWITCH
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURES.
The seat belt reminder system uses both visual
and audible signals. A combined seat belt and key
reminder chime with a red light on the instrument
panel.
The system will always illuminate the seat belt
reminder lamp for four to eight seconds when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON position. The
CHIME will sound during the same time interval if
the driver's seat belt is not fastened. Passenger belts
are not connected to the system.
The chime will activate if the drivers door is
opened and:
²The key is in the ignition switch, with the igni-
tion switch in either the OFF or accessory (ACC)
position.
²The head lamps are ON.
The chime is integral to the instrument cluster.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
FASTEN SEAT BELTS
To test the fasten seat belts function, turn the igni-
tion switch to the ON position with the driver's seat
belt unbuckled and fully retracted. The seat belt
warning lamp should light for four to eight seconds
and the tone should sound three to five times.
If the lamp does not light, check the connection at
the seat belt retractor and the LED in the instru-
ment cluster. Replace as necessary.
HEADLAMPS LEFT ON
These are the conditions that have to be met for
the headlamps on, chime function to work:
²Headlamps ON.
²Driver's door open.
²Key removed from the ignition switch.
Chime should sound until headlamps are turned
off or driver's door is closed.
If these conditions are met and there is still a
problem with the system, replace the instrument
cluster. Refer to Group 8E-Instrument Panel and
Systems, Instrument Cluster Removal and Installa-
tion.
KEY LEFT IN IGNITION SWITCH
To test the key left in ignition function, insert key
into the ignition and open the driver's door. Chime
should sound until key is removed from ignition or
driver's door is closed.
If these conditions are met and there is still a
problem with the system, replace the instrument
cluster. Refer to Group 8E-Instrument Panel and
Systems, Instrument Cluster Removal and Installa-
tion.
CHIME SYSTEM CONDITIONS
NO TONE WHEN IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED ON
AND DRIVERS SEAT BELT IS UNBUCKLED
(1) Using an ohmmeter, with the seat belt fully
retracted, check for continuity to ground at Pin 25 of
the cluster harness connector. If OK, go to step 2. If
not OK, repair as necessary.
(2) Using voltmeter, check for battery feed at Pin
21 of the cluster harness connector. Check for igni-
tion feed at Pin 15 of the cluster harness connector.
If not OK, repair as necessary.
PLCHIME WARNING/REMINDER SYSTEM 8U - 1

NO FASTEN SEAT BELT LAMP WHEN IGNITION
SWITCH IS ON
(1) Check for battery feed at cluster harness con-
nector Pin 21.
(2) Check for ignition feed at cluster harness con-
nector Pin 15. Repair as necessary.
NO TONE WHEN HEADLAMPS ARE ON AND
DRIVERS DOOR IS OPEN
(1) Check left door jamb switch for good ground
when drivers door is open.
(2) Check for ground at Pin 10.
(3) Check for battery feed at cluster harness con-
nector Pin 21.
(4) Check for NO voltage at Pin 14. Ignition volt-
age must not be present for the chime to work.
(5) Check headlamp switch.
NO TONE WHEN KEY IS LEFT IN IGNITION AND
DRIVERS DOOR IS OPEN
(1) Check for continuity to ground at Pin 23 of the
cluster harness connector. If OK, go to Step 3. If not
OK, repair as necessary.
(2) Using voltmeter, check for battery feed at Pin
21 of the cluster harness connector. Check for NO
ignition feed at Pin 15 of the cluster harness connec-
tor. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair as neces-
sary.
(3) Open driver's door and ensure the ignition key
is in the OFF or ACC position. Check for continuity
to ground at Pin 10 of the cluster harness connector.
If ground OK, replace cluster printed circuit board. If
no ground, check key-in switch or door switch wiring
and repair as necessary.
CHIMES CONTINUE WHEN HEADLAMPS ARE
TURNED OFF AND/OR KEY IS REMOVED FROM
IGNITION
Check for ground at Pin 10. If grounded the chime
should activate. Make sure the door is closed, key isin ignition and parking lamps are OFF. If ground is
still present check door switch, key in switch, head-
lamp switch and repair as necessary.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
CHIME
The functions previously performed by the chime
module are now part of the smart cluster. There is no
servicable part of the instrument cluster chime func-
tion. Replacement of the instrument cluster is neces-
sary. Refer to Group 8E-Instrument Panel and
Systems, Instrument Cluster Removal and Installa-
tion.
SEAT BELT BUCKLE
Refer to Group 23-Body, Front Seat Belt Buckle
Removal and Installation.
HEADLAMP SWITCH
Refer to Group 8J-Turn Signal and Hazard Warn-
ing Systems, Multi-Function Switch Removal and
Installation.
KEY-IN SWITCH
The Key-in switch is built into the ignition switch
assembly. Should the Key-in switch require service,
the ignition switch assembly must be replaced. Refer
to Group 8D-Ignition System, Ignition Switch
Removal and Installation.
