cluster circuitry that controls the indicator, (Refer to
8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAG-
NOSIS AND TESTING). The washer fluid level
switch input to the cluster can be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and methods.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WASHER FLUID
INDICATOR
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative
washer fluid indicator condition. If the problem being
diagnosed is related to indicator accuracy, be certain
to confirm that the problem is with the indicator or
washer fluid level switch input and not with a dam-
aged or empty washer fluid reservoir, or inoperative
instrument cluster indicator control circuitry. Inspect
the washer fluid reservoir for proper fluid level and
signs of damage or distortion that could affect
washer fluid level switch performance and perform
the instrument cluster actuator test before you pro-
ceed with the following diagnosis. If no washer fluid
reservoir or instrument cluster control circuitry prob-
lem is found, the following procedure will help to
locate a short or open in the washer fluid switch
sense circuit. Refer to the appropriate wiring infor-
mation. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
details of wire harness routing and retention, connec-
tor pin-out information and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.

WATER-IN-FUEL INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A water-in-fuel indicator is standard equipment on
all instrument clusters, but is only functional in vehi-
cles equipped with an optional diesel engine. The
water-in-fuel indicator is located near the lower edge
of the instrument cluster overlay, to the left of center.
The water-in-fuel indicator consists of a stencilled
cutout of the text ªWATER IN FUELº in the opaque
layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark
outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from
being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red
lens located behind the cutout causes the ªWATER
IN FUELº text to appear in red through the translu-
cent outer layer of the overlay when the indicator is
illuminated from behind by a Light Emitting Diode
(LED) soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic
circuit board. The water-in-fuel indicator is serviced
as a unit with the instrument cluster.
8J - 36 INSTRUMENT CLUSTERBR/BE
WASHER FLUID INDICATOR (Continued)

OPERATION
The water-in-fuel indicator gives an indication to
the vehicle operator when the water accumulated in
the diesel engine fuel filter/separator filter bowl
requires draining. This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon cluster programming and electronic mes-
sages received by the cluster from the Engine Control
Module (ECM) over the Chrysler Collision Detection
(CCD) data bus. The water-in-fuel indicator Light
Emitting Diode (LED) receives battery current on the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board through
the fused ignition switch output (st-run) circuit
whenever the ignition switch is in the On or Start
positions; therefore, the indicator will always be off
when the ignition switch is in any position except On
or Start. The LED only illuminates when it is
switched to ground by the instrument cluster transis-
tor. The instrument cluster will turn on the water-in-
fuel indicator for the following reasons:
²Bulb Test- Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the indicator is illuminated
for about two seconds as a bulb test.
²Water-In-Fuel Lamp-On Message- Each time
the cluster receives a water-in-fuel lamp-on messagefrom the ECM, the indicator will be illuminated. The
indicator remains illuminated until the cluster
receives a water-in-fuel lamp-off message from the
ECM or until the ignition switch is turned to the Off
position, whichever occurs first.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the indicator will be
turned on during the bulb check portion of the test to
confirm the functionality of the LED and the cluster
control circuitry.
The ECM continually monitors the water-in-fuel
sensor, then sends the proper messages to the instru-
ment cluster. For further diagnosis of the water-in-
fuel indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that
controls the indicator, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IN-
STRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TEST-
ING). For proper diagnosis of the water-in-fuel
sensor, the ECM, the CCD data bus, or the message
inputs to the instrument cluster that control the
water-in-fuel indicator, a DRBIIItscan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.

DESCRIPTION - TURN SIGNAL & HAZARD
WARNING SYSTEM
A turn signal and hazard warning system is stan-
dard factory-installed safety equipment on this
model. The turn signal and hazard warning system
includes the following major components, which are
described in further detail elsewhere in this service
information:
²Combination Flasher- The electronic combi-
nation flasher is installed in the Junction Block (JB),
which is located behind the fuse access panel on the
left outboard end of the instrument panel.
²Hazard Warning Switch- The hazard warning
switch is integral to the multi-function switch on the
left side of the steering column. The hazard warning
switch button protrudes from a dedicated opening in
the shroud on the top of the steering column, just
below the steering wheel.
²Turn Signal Cancel Cam- The turn signal
cancel cam is integral to the clockspring, which is
located beneath the steering column shrouds at the
top of the steering column, just below the steering
wheel.
²Turn Signal Indicators- The two turn signal
indicators, one right and one left, are integral to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
located in the instrument panel.
²Turn Signal Lamps- The front turn signal
lamps are integral to the lower front outboard ends
of the headlamp modules, located just outboard of the
two sides of the radiator grille opening. The rear
turn signal lamps are integral to the taillamp mod-
ules located on either side of the vehicle. For pickup
models the taillamp modules are secured to the rear
of the quarter panels at each side of the tailgate
opening. For cab and chassis models the taillampmodules are secured by a stamped steel bracket on
the outboard side of each frame rail near the rear of
the vehicle.
²Turn Signal Switch- The turn signal switch is
integral to the multi-function switch on the left side
of the steering column. The multi-function switch
control stalk that actuates the turn signal switch
protrudes from a dedicated opening in the steering
column shrouds on the left side of the column, just
below the steering wheel.
Hard wired circuitry connects the turn signal and
hazard warning system components to each other
through the electrical system of the vehicle. These
hard wired circuits are integral to several wire har-
nesses, which are routed throughout the vehicle and
retained by many different methods. These circuits
may be connected to each other, to the vehicle elec-
trical system and to the turn signal and hazard
warning system components through the use of a
combination of soldered splices, splice block connec-
tors and many different types of wire harness termi-
nal connectors and insulators. Refer to the
appropriate wiring information. The wiring informa-
tion includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and con-
nector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness con-
nectors, splices and grounds.
OPERATION - TURN SIGNAL & HAZARD
WARNING SYSTEM
The turn signal system operates on battery current
received on a fused ignition switch output (run-acc)
circuit so that the turn signals will only operate with
the ignition switch in the On or Accessory positions.
The hazard warning system operates on non-
switched battery current received on a fused B(+) cir-
cuit so that the hazard warning remains operational
8L - 2 LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIORBR/BE

regardless of the ignition switch position. When the
turn signal (multi-function) switch control stalk is
moved up (right turn) or down (left turn), the turn
signal system is activated. When the turn signal sys-
tem is activated, the circuitry of the turn signal
switch and the combination flasher will cause the
selected (right or left) turn signal indicator, front
park/turn signal lamp, and rear tail/stop/turn signal
lamp to flash on and off. With the hazard warning
(multi-function) switch in the On position, the hazard
warning system is activated. When the hazard warn-
ing system is activated, the circuitry of the hazard
warning switch and the combination flasher will
cause both the right side and the left side turn signal
indicators, front park/turn signal lamps, and rear
tail/stop/turn signal lamps to flash on and off.
Refer to the owner's manual in the vehicle glove
box for more information on the features, use and
operation of the turn signal and hazard warning sys-
tem.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TURN SIGNAL &
HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM
When diagnosing the turn signal and hazard warn-
ing circuits, remember that high generator output
can burn out bulbs rapidly and repeatedly. If this is a
problem on the vehicle being diagnosed, be certain to
diagnose and repair the charging system as required.
If the problem being diagnosed is related to a failure
of the turn signals to automatically cancel following
completion of a turn, inspect the multi-function
switch for a faulty or damaged cancel actuator and
inspect the turn signal cancel cam on the clockspring
for damaged lobes or improper installation. Refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The wiring infor-
mation includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and
connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness con-
nectors, splices and grounds.

BRAKE LAMP SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The plunger type brake lamp switch is mounted on
a bracket attached to the brake pedal support under
the instrument panel.
CAUTION: The switch can only be adjusted during
initial installation. If the switch is not adjusted prop-
erly a new switch must be installed.
OPERATION
The brake lamp switch is used for the brake lamp,
speed control brake sensor circuits and electronic
brake distribution (EBD). The brake lamp circuit is
open until the plunger is depressed. The speed con-
trol and brake sensor circuits are closed until the
plunger is depressed.
When the brake light switch is activated, the Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM) receives an input indi-
cating that the brakes are being applied. After
receiving this input, the PCM maintains idle speed to
a scheduled rpm through control of the Idle Air Con-
trol (IAC) motor. The brake switch input is also used
to disable vent and vacuum solenoid output signals
to the speed control servo.
Vehicles equipped with the speed control option use
a dual function brake lamp switch. The PCM moni-
tors the state of the dual function brake lamp switch.
Refer to the Brake section for more information on
brake lamp switch service and adjustment proce-
dures.
The brake switch is equipped with three sets of
contacts, one normally open and the other two nor-
mally closed (brakes disengaged). The PCM sends a
12 volt signal to one of the normally closed contacts
in the brake switch, which is returned to the PCM as
a brake switch state signal. With the contacts closed,
the 12 volt signal is pulled to ground causing the sig-
nal to go low. The low voltage signal, monitored by
the PCM, indicates that the brakes are not applied.
When the brakes are applied, the contacts open,

LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR (Continued)

causing the PCM's output brake signal to go high,
disengaging the speed control, cutting off PCM power
to the speed control solenoids.
The second set of normally closed contacts supplies
12 volts from the PCM any time speed control is
turned on. Through the brake switch, current is
routed to the speed control servo solenoids. The
speed control solenoids (vacuum, vent and dump) are
provided this current any time the speed control is
ON and the brakes are disengaged.
When the driver applies the brakes, the contacts
open and current is interrupted to the solenoids. The
normally open contacts are fed battery voltage. When
the brakes are applied, battery voltage is supplied to
the brake lamps.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BRAKE LAMP
SWITCH
The brake lamp switch can be tested with an ohm-
meter. The ohmmeter is used to check continuity
between the pin terminals (Fig. 1).

COMBINATION FLASHER
DESCRIPTION
The combination flasher is located in the Junction
Block (JB) behind the fuse access panel on the left
outboard end of the instrument panel. The combina-
tion flasher is a smart relay that functions as both
the turn signal system and the hazard warning sys-
tem flasher. The combination flasher contains active
electronic Integrated Circuitry (IC) elements. This
flasher is designed to handle the current flow
requirements of the factory-installed lighting. If sup-
plemental lighting is added to the turn signal lamp
circuits, such as when towing a trailer with lights,
the combination flasher will automatically try to
compensate to keep the flash rate the same.
The combination flasher has five blade-type termi-
nals that connect it to the vehicle electrical system
through five matching cavities in the receptacle of
the JB. While the combination flasher has a Interna-
tional Standards Organization (ISO)-type relay ter-
minal configuration or footprint, the internal
circuitry is much different. The combination flasher
does not use standard ISO-relay inputs or provide
ISO-relay type outputs or functions. The combination
flasher should never be substituted for an ISO-relay
or replaced with an ISO-relay, or else component and
vehicle damage may occur.
The combination flasher cannot be repaired or
adjusted and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The combination flasher has five blade-type termi-
nals intended for the following inputs and outputs:
fused B(+), fused ignition switch output, ground, turn
signal circuit, and hazard warning circuit. Constant
battery voltage and ground are supplied to the
flasher so that it can perform the hazard warning
function, and ignition switched battery voltage is
supplied for the turn signal function.
The Integrated Circuitry (IC) within the combina-
tion flasher (Fig. 6) contains the logic that controls
the flasher operation and the flash rate. Pin 6 of the
IC receives a sense voltage from the hazard warning
circuit of the multi-function switch. When the hazard
warning switch is turned on, the9hazard on sense9
voltage will become low due to the circuit being
grounded through the turn signal bulbs. This low
voltage sense signals the IC to energize the flash con-
trol Positive-Negative-Positive (PNP) transistor at a
pre-calibrated flash rate or frequency. Each time the
PNP transistor energizes the hazard warning circuit,
the pin 69hazard on sense9voltage will become high
and the IC signals the PNP transistor to de-energize
the circuit. This cycling will continue until the haz-
ard warning switch is turned off.
Likewise, pin 8 of the IC receives a sense voltage
from the turn signal circuits of the multi-function
switch. When the left or right turn signal switch is
turned on, the9turn signal on sense9voltage will
become low due to the circuit being grounded
through the turn signal bulbs. This low voltage sense
signals the IC to energize the flash control PNP tran-
sistor at a pre-calibrated flash rate or frequency.
Each time the PNP transistor energizes the turn sig-
nal circuit, the pin 89turn signal on sense9voltage
