RADIATOR
DESCRIPTION
The radiator is a cross-flow type (horizontal tubes)
with design features that provide greater strength
along with sufficient heat transfer capabilities to
keep the engine satisfactorily cooled. The radiator
has plastic side tanks and aluminum cooling tubes.
OPERATION
The radiator functions as a heat exchanger, using
air flow across the exterior of the radiator tubes. This
heat is then transferred from the coolant and into
the passing air.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
(2) Remove radiator upper crossmember support.
(Refer to 23 - BODY/EXTERIOR/GRILLE OPENING
REINFORCEMENT - REMOVAL)
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE CYLINDER
BLOCK PLUG OR THE RADIATOR DRAINCOCK
WITH THE SYSTEM HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE
BECAUSE SERIOUS BURNS FROM COOLANT CAN
OCCUR.
(3) Drain the cooling system. (Refer to 7 - COOL-
ING - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
(4) Remove the radiator fans. (Refer to 7 - COOL-
ING/ENGINE/RADIATOR FAN - REMOVAL)(5) Disconnect coolant reserve/recovery hose.
(6) Remove vapor purge solenoid from mounting
bracket.
(7) Disconnect upper and lower hoses from the
radiator (Fig. 13) or (Fig. 14).
(8) Remove the A/C condenser side brackets to
radiator attaching screws (Fig. 15). Separate the con-
denser from the radiator by lifting upward to disen-
gage from lower mounts (Fig. 15). Allow the
condenser to rest in front of radiator.
(9) Radiator can now be lifted free from engine
compartment.Care should be taken not to dam-
age radiator cooling fins or water tubes during
removal.

Operating instructions for the factory installed
audio systems can be found in the Owner's Manual
provided with this vehicle.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
WARNING:
ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS, REFER
TO ELECTRICAL, RESTRAINTS BEFORE ATTEMPT-
ING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN,
OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS
OR SERVICE. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER
PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.

CD CHANGER
DESCRIPTION
The 4 Disc In-Dash CD Changer (if equipped) is
located in the instrument panel below the radio. The
remote changer does not use a cartridge or magazine
for the CD's. Up to 4 CD's can be directly loaded into
this unit.
OPERATION
Due to its compact design, the CD changer can
carry out only one operation at a time. For example,
you can not load a new disc while playing another at
the same time. Each operation happens sequentially.
The radio unit provides control over all features of
the CD changer with the exception of the CD load
and eject functions, which are controlled by buttons
located on the front of the CD changer. All features
you would expect, such as Disc Up/Down, Track
Up/Down, Random and Scan are controlled by the
radio, which also displays all relevant CD changer
information on the radio display.
The CD changer contains a Load/Eject button and
an indicator LED for each of the four disc positions
as well as an illuminated disc opening. The individ-
ual LED indicates whether a CD is currently loaded
in that particular chamber of the CD changer. Press-
ing the individual Load/Eject button for a particular
chamber will eject a disc currently present in that
chamber. If the chamber is currently empty, actuat-
ing the Load/Eject button will position that chamber
to receive and load a new disc in that chamber.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove screws holding CD changer.
(3) Disconnect the wire connector from the back of
the CD changer.
(4) Remove the CD changer from the vehicle (Fig.
5).
INSTALLATION
(1) Reconnect the wire connector to the CD
changer.
(2) Insert the CD changer into the instrument
panel.
NOTE: Use care when inserting CD changer so that
cable is not pinched or trapped against instrument
panel.
(3) Install screws holding CD changer.
(4) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
CHOKE
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
If the audio system is cutting in and out at higher
volumes, check for continuity across the choke con-
nector. If no continuity, replace the choke assembly.
The choke is located on the junction block/body con-
trol module.

REMOTE SWITCHES
DESCRIPTION
A remote radio control switch option is available on
some models. Two rocker-type switches are mounted
on the back (instrument panel side) of the steering
wheel spokes (Fig. 15). The switch on the left spoke
is the seek switch and has seek up, seek down, and
preset station advance functions. The switch on the
right spoke is the volume control switch and has vol-
ume up, and volume down functions. The switch on
the right spoke also includes a ªmodeº control that
allows the driver to sequentially select AM radio, FM
radio, cassette player, CD player or CD changer (if
equipped).
OPERATION
These switches are resistor multiplexed units that
are hard-wired to the Body Control Module (BCM)
through the clockspring. The BCM sends the proper
messages on the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD)
data bus network to the radio receiver. For diagnosis
of the BCM or the CCD data bus, the use of a DRB
scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures man-
ual are recommended. For more information on the
operation of the remote radio switch controls, refer to
the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box.
