ENGINE COOLANT
THERMOSTAT - 3.9L/5.2L/5.9L
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Do not operate an engine without a ther-
mostat, except for servicing or testing.
The thermostat on the 3.9L, 5.2L and 5.9L gas
powered engines is located beneath the thermostat
housing at the front of the intake manifold (Fig. 15).
The thermostat is a wax pellet driven, reverse pop-
pet choke type.
Coolant leakage into the pellet container will cause
the thermostat to fail in the open position. Thermo-
stats very rarely stick. Do not attempt to free a ther-
mostat with a prying device.
The same thermostat is used for winter and sum-
mer seasons. An engine should not be operated with-
out a thermostat, except for servicing or testing.
Operating without a thermostat causes longer engine
warmup time, unreliable warmup performance,
increased exhaust emissions and crankcase condensa-
tion that can result in sludge formation.
OPERATION
The wax pellet is located in a sealed container at
the spring end of the thermostat. When heated, the
pellet expands, overcoming closing spring tension
and water pump pressure to force the valve to open.

TRANS COOLER - 5.9L DIESEL
DESCRIPTION
All diesel models equipped with an automatic
transmission are equipped with both a main water-
to-oil cooler and a separate air-to-oil cooler. Both cool-
ers are supplied as standard equipment on diesel
engine powered models when equipped with an auto-
matic transmission.
The main water-to-oil transmission oil cooler is
mounted to a bracket on the turbocharger side of the
engine (Fig. 6).
The air-to-oil cooler is located in front of and to the
left side of the radiator (Fig. 7).
OPERATION
The transmission oil is routed through the main
cooler first, then the auxiliary cooler where addi-
tional heat is removed from the transmission oil
before returning to the transmission.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - FLUSHING
COOLERS AND TUBES - WITH RADIATOR
IN-TANK TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER
When a transmission failure has contaminated the
fluid, the oil cooler(s) must be flushed. The torque
converter must also be replaced. This will insure that
metal particles or sludged oil are not later trans-
ferred back into the reconditioned (or replaced) trans-
mission.
The only recommended procedure for flushing cool-
ers and lines is to use Tool 6906-B Cooler Flusher.

commercial radio stations in both the Amplitude
Modulating (AM) and Frequency Modulating (FM)
frequency ranges. These electromagnetic radio fre-
quency signals induce small electrical modulations
into the antenna as they move past the mast. The
antenna body transfers the weak electromagnetic
radio waves induced into the rigid antenna mast into
the center conductor of the flexible primary antenna
coaxial cable. The braided outer shield of the
antenna coaxial cable is grounded through both the
antenna body and the radio chassis, effectively
shielding the radio waves as they are conducted to
the radio. The radio then tunes and amplifies the
weak radio signals into stronger electrical signals in
order to operate the audio system speakers.
The antenna body includes an integral flange that
mates with and grounds the antenna body to the
underside of the fender panel sheet metal. Above the
fender panel, the antenna body has a short nipple
that is externally threaded to accept the antenna cap
nut. Inside the nipple is a plastic insulator tube, and
inside this insulator is an internally threaded metal
receptacle that accepts the adapter stud on the bot-
tom of the antenna mast. The antenna adapter
serves as an above fender interface to mount and
secure the antenna body to the vehicle. The antenna
adapter is a black molded plastic component that
provides a functional transition between the top of
the fender and the antenna cap nut, while concealing
the edges of the antenna mounting hole and protect-
ing the painted finish of the fender from marring as
the antenna cap nut is tightened. The adapter is
installed over and shrouds the threaded nipple of the
antenna body, which is installed from under and pro-
trudes through the top of the mounting hole in the
fender. The antenna cap nut is installed on top of the
antenna adapter and tightened onto the external
threads of the antenna body nipple to effectively
secure and ground the antenna body to the fender.
Three notches on the outer circumference of the cap
nut are engaged by matching projections of an
antenna nut wrench (Special Tool C-4816) to facili-
tate the removal and installation of this special fas-
tener. Proper tightening of the antenna cap nut is
critical to ensuring proper grounding of the antenna
body to the fender sheet metal, which is necessary
for clear radio signal reception.
A short length of coaxial cable serves as the pri-
mary antenna cable. The center conductor of the
cable is connected to the antenna mast receptacle.
The outer wire mesh of the cable is connected to and
grounded through the antenna body. One end of the
primary antenna cable is securely crimped to the
lower end of the antenna body, while the opposite
end features a simple push/pull-type male coaxial
cable connector that serves as the in-line connector tothe instrument panel (secondary) antenna coaxial
cable. The primary coaxial cable includes a grommet
that seals the cable to an entry hole in the right cowl
side outer panel where the cable passes into the pas-
senger compartment of the vehicle. The secondary
antenna cable has a push/pull-type male coaxial
cable connector on the radio end, and a push/pull-
type female coaxial cable connector on the opposite
end, which serves as the in-line connector to the pri-
mary antenna cable. In the passenger compartment
the primary cable is routed to the lower right side of
the instrument panel, where it is connected to the
secondary instrument panel antenna cable. The
instrument panel antenna cable is routed near the
instrument panel wire harness through the instru-
ment panel to the radio and is secured to the instru-
ment panel structural support with small metal
push-on retainers. This two-piece antenna cable
arrangement allows the instrument panel or the
antenna body and cable to be removed or installed
without disturbing the radio.

RADIO
DESCRIPTION
Available factory-installed radio receivers for this
model include an AM/FM/cassette (RAS sales code),
an AM/FM/cassette/5-band graphic equalizer with CD
changer control feature (RBN sales code), an AM/FM/
CD/3-band graphic equalizer (RBR sales code), or an
AM/FM/CD/cassette/3-band graphic equalizer (RAZ
sales code). The factory-installed RAZ sales code
radio receivers can also communicate on the Chrysler
Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network through
a separate two-way wire harness connector. All facto-
ry-installed receivers are stereo Electronically Tuned
Radios (ETR) and include an electronic digital clock
function.These radio receivers can only be serviced by an
authorized radio repair station. See the latest War-
ranty Policies and Procedures manual for a current
listing of authorized radio repair stations.
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD) fuse that is removed when the vehicle is
shipped from the factory. This fuse feeds various
accessories that require battery current when the
ignition switch is in the Off position, including the
clock. The IOD fuse is removed to prevent battery
discharge during vehicle storage.
When removing or installing the IOD fuse, it is
important that the ignition switch be in the Off posi-
tion. Failure to place the ignition switch in the Off
position can cause the radio display to become scram-
bled when the IOD fuse is removed and replaced.
Removing and replacing the IOD fuse again, with the
ignition switch in the Off position, will correct the
scrambled display condition.
The IOD fuse should be checked if the radio or
clock displays are inoperative. The IOD fuse is
located in the junction block. Refer to the fuse layout
label on the back of the instrument panel fuse access
panel for IOD fuse identification and location.
OPERATION
The radio receiver operates on fused battery cur-
rent that is available only when the ignition switch is
in the On or Accessory positions. The electronic digi-
tal clock function of the radio operates on fused bat-
tery current supplied through the IOD fuse,
regardless of the ignition switch position.
For more information on the features, setting pro-
cedures, and control functions for each of the avail-
able factory-installed radio receivers, see the owner's
manual in the vehicle glove box. For complete circuit
diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring informa-
tion. 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.

REMOTE SWITCHES
DESCRIPTION
A remote radio switch option is available on models
equipped with the AM/FM/CD/cassette/3-band
graphic equalizer (RAZ sales code) radio receiver and
the high-line Central Timer Module (CTM). Refer to
Electrical, Body Control/Central Timer Module for
more information on this component.
Two rocker-type switches (Fig. 15) are mounted in
the sides of the rear (instrument panel side) steeringwheel trim cover. The switch on the left side is the
seek switch and has seek up, seek down, and preset
station advance functions. The switch on the right
side is the volume control switch and has volume up,
and volume down functions. The two switches are
retained in mounting holes located on each side of
the rear steering wheel trim cover by four latches
that are integral to the switches.
The remote radio switches share a common steer-
ing wheel wire harness with the vehicle speed control
switches. The steering wheel wire harness is con-
nected to the instrument panel wire harness through
the clockspring. Refer to Electrical, Clockspring for
more information on this component.
OPERATION
The remote radio switches are resistor multiplexed
units that are hard wired to the high-line or pre-
mium CTM through the clockspring. The CTM mon-
itors the status of the remote radio switches and
sends the proper switch status messages on the
Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network
to the radio receiver. The electronic circuitry within
the radio is programmed to respond to these remote
radio switch status messages by adjusting the radio
settings as requested.
For diagnosis of the CTM or the CCD data bus, the
use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the proper Diagnostic
Procedures manual are recommended. For more
